After heart surgery, it is reported that complications from the surgery lead to a stroke, ending his life on February 25th, 2017 at the age of 61.
He is survived by his wife, Louise, and children James and Lydia. James is also an actor.
We love him in "Weird Science" we always referred to him as "Chet". My God, not another young actor lost. I am wondering what type of heart surgery he needed, being so young. RIP,. Chet. You'll be missed. My sincere condolences to his family for their loss.
I wonder if it was anaesthesia. I had a similar experience, flat line. But, I guess it wasn't my time. No one really knows what levels of anesthesia to administer until it's too late.
What a sorrowful deep loss losing one of our great actors Bill Paxton for his family, close friends and the film industry and to us. His craftsmanship in arts gifts as a director and talents ability to play any part and role to be someone on the big screen for us all in entertainment-He never won the big Oscar awards he truly did deserve more than some others but won many Emmy awards. We will never forget him in Apollo 13th,The Terminator, Titanic and so many others, so young still to be taken in life at only 61, but our Creator must have His reasoning an his plans to have taken him home to his Kingdom- With Our deepest regret and sympathy~ Bill Paxton will always be admired respected and admired and will miss that smile from ear to ear, RIP a gentle man~ Your Moccasins threaded softly on the snow here on God green earth of love for another~ Amen~A'HO"Liberty belle

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.
For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator. My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
