Sylvester Stallone experienced a devastating loss in 2012 when his eldest child, Sage Stallone, died.

Sage, who appeared alongside his father in the 1990 film “Rocky V,” was his first child with his first wife, Sasha Czack. The two have another son named Seargeoh Stallone.

Sage was also the half-brother of Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet Stallone, whom the “Expendables” star, 77, had with his third wife, Jennifer Flavin.

After he made his acting debut at 14 as the titular character’s son, Robert Balboa Jr., in the fifth “Rocky” installment, Sage also appeared in the films “The Evil Inside Me,” “Vic,” and “Daylight,” which also starred his father. As an adult, he also worked as a director and executive producer.
