According to PEOPLE, this is the second time Kathy has had a sibling battle cancer. Her brother Gary died from stage-four esophageal cancer in 2014 after a two-year battle. He was 63. Kathy remembered him on Instagram at the time of his passing, writing that he was "he was funny as s***."

This AM my brave brother Gary Griffin passed away in palliative care after a brutal struggle w cancer. Our last real conversation, w my brother I loved so much, was just a few days go when I got him this signed picture from his idol, @JoeWalsh. He loved the Eagles, 70s rock, The Chicago White Sox and the Xavier "muskies"... Oh & he was funny as sh*t.
