John Candy's time at the top didn't last all that long - he unexpectedly died in 1994. His surprisingly early death was one final tragedy in a life often overshadowed with struggle and sadness. Here's a look at the sometimes difficult and challenging life of John Candy.
Tragedy struck John Candy at an early age, upending his young life and leaving behind a specter of sadness and loss. Candy was born in 1950 to middle-class parents Evangeline and Sidney Candy, Sidney earning a living as a car salesman in Toronto. When John Candy was just 5 years old and his brother, Jim, was 6, Sidney Candy unexpectedly died from complications of heart disease at only 35.
According to Laughing on the Outside: The Life of John Candy, Evangeline Candy had little choice but to make the economical decision to move her family away. She took her two young kids to a very small bungalow in the working-class Toronto borough of East York, which they shared with John Candy's grandparents and aunt. The knowledge that his father died from a delicate heart stuck with Candy for his entire life. According to family members, it was always in the back of his mind, and he ultimately couldn't escape it.
