"Last summer, Senator John McCain shared with Americans the news our family already knew: he had been diagnosed with an aggressive glioblastoma and the prognosis was serious."

McCain who crossed paths with Barack Obama in 2008 got slapped hard. He picked Sarah Palin as his running mate and it doomed his chance at being president.

McCain was often a target of Trump. When Trump ran for president, he made the comments, "He's not a war hero. He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured."

McCain will leave behind his second wife Cindy, his six children including John McCain IV and Meghan McCain. He will leave behind his mother, Roberta who is 106 years old.
