Sage Stallone Obituary

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The 36-year-old son of Sylvester Stallone was found dead Friday, leaving the actor grief-stricken, his publicist said.

Authorities were investigating Sage Stallone's death, but details were not immediately available.

"Sylvester Stallone is devastated and grief-stricken over the sudden loss of his son," publicist Michelle Bega said in a statement. "His compassion and thoughts are with Sage's mother, Sasha."

Los Angeles police said they were dispatched to investigate a death at a home on Mulholland Terrace around 2:15 p.m. but could not confirm the person's identity or offer details.

Coroner's officials also said they were in the initial investigative stages.

"Sage was a very talented and wonderful young man, his loss will be felt forever," Bega said.

George Braunstein, an attorney who has represented Sage Stallone for 15 years, said a housekeeper found his body Friday afternoon. Friends and acquaintances had become concerned because they hadn't heard from Stallone in the past day, Braunstein said.

Sage Moonblood Stallone was the oldest of Sylvester Stallone's children and co-starred with his father in two films. He was the first of two sons Stallone had with first wife Sasha Czack.

Sage Stallone made his acting debut in 1990's "Rocky V" and also appeared with his father in 1996's "Daylight."

Also in 1996, Sage Stallone and veteran film editor Bob Murawski co-founded Grindhouse Releasing, a company dedicated to preserving and promoting the B-movies and exploitation films of the 1970s and 80s.

"He was very respectful of all the actors in all the movies," Braunstein said. "You couldn't mention a movie that he didn't know everything about."

Sage Stallone also directed the 2006 short "Vic," which screened at the Palm Springs Film Festival.

Braunstein said Stallone was planning on getting married for the first time, and had frequent requests to work on films.

"He was a full of life filmmaker with his whole future ahead of him," Braunstein said. "He was just very up and enthusiastic and positive.

"I think it was probably some sort of accident," he said of the death.

Braunstein said Sage Stallone greatly admired his father but was working hard to make his own name in the film industry.

"He was very proud of his father and proud to be his father's son," Braustein said.

My love and prayers go out to the Stalllone family, friends and loved ones Sage leaves behind. Just know he is in God's hands and is watching over all of us. This is not the way it is suppose to go. We are to go before our children. My Mother lost my half brother at the age of 45, in a senseless manner and I watched her pain. In time your loss will turn into a celebration of Sage's seemingly brief life on this earth with the great love he shared for his Mother, Father, brother and sister's. Thank you God for sharing his life with us as his fans and with his family. With God's guiding hand, you will get through this. For whatever reason God needed him. He is one precious Angel now.

My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. I too know how it feels to loose a son. My son was killed in a car wreck 2 years ago. I know what you are going through and what you are going to go through and I wish I could take all the hurt, angry, what if I had just done this or that and why's away for you. Just know one thing he is at peace now in heaven forever more. It makes no difference how they die they are our children and we love them, and people should not judge. Only God knows what happen. I myself found peace in God, without him there is no hope and I know I could not survive if I did not have any hope of ever seeing my son again one day. May God Bless You in this time of need. I am so so so sorry.

My heart sank into a deep dispear the day I read of the tragic loss of Sage Stallone
No Mother or Father should ever have to go through life without their child whom they have loved from the second he came into their lives.
Sage so young and loved by all has left a impression in our hearts and has made so many memories some big some small.
His death is final and their is nothing that can be done to bring him back so please don't live your lives on what if's because death is final an it can't be undone.
Just honor his memories and make Sage proud by talking about the good time and talk about him and talk very loud.
Don't hold it in it won't do you any good for Sage is an Angle now this is very true just think what would Sage be wanting me to do.. I am so sorry for your loss..

I lost my son a year and half ago. He was on his way to class. He was 23. The pain is tremendous. It will change the dynamics of your life tremendously. Especially for his little brother. Hold tight as a family. Share your loving thoughts and even anger. Memories even hurt for a while because you want them back so bad! My daughter and I are trying to make new memories since it's just the 2 of us. It's tough but we hold in our hearts and mind that Garrick is with us. It brings us comfort.Hold onto God! He understands if you're angry at him as well. It is truly lifes worse tragedy and my heart and prayers are with you all.

My sincere condolences to the Stallone family on the loss of your love one. Death is something that was not meant for mankind, because God, he created humans with a yearning to live forever (Ecclesiastes 3:11). However our loving God gives us a wonderful hope that 'death will be brought to nothing' and that we will see our love ones again (1 Corinthians 15:26; Mark 5:39-42).

Some souls are very special to our Lord, and are called to leave us earlier than we would like, in order to serve as angels to carry out God's work in other realms. I believe this to be the case in Sage's situation. A sad and tragic loss for us, until we come to grips with knowing we will see him again when it is our time. Years to us now, mere moments in the light of eternity. Rest in Peace, Sage; kindest and warmest condolences to the Stallones.

Deear Sly and Sasha,

I just can't believe what has happened to your boy. He was such a delight and so cute in the Rocky movies. Although you are both no longer married to each other, you will have to reach out and help each other tremendously because you were his parents and only you as parents know how it feels to lose a child. He was a doll and I feel for the both of you. Just know that he is with the Savior, away from all that can harm him.

Sincerely.

Sly , I know the pain you feel I have lost 2 of my children 1 was 4.5 we lost her in a house fire in 1996, and we lost her older sister in 2007 in a vehicle accident . The bible verse where it says God will not put any more on us than we can stand , well it's true it is hard but it will get easier to deal with . The hurt still lingers but it gets bearable . May God hold you in the palm of his mighty hands . You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers, God bless in your time of suffering .

To the family of Sage Stallone, a beautiful person left this world and is now sitting to the right side of the Greatest Father and all the angels. My deepest sympathy, prayers and thoughts to his family. I know the pain the family is experiencing as I lost my beloved first born son too at age 29. Remember the precious memories Sage left because it is so true, thats what will get the family through each day. While dealing with my own tragic loss, someone once told me "You never get over it, you just get through it" May God Bless the Stallone family and watch over them during this sad time.
