In August 2012, Chris Buck’s son, Ryder, was diagnosed with Stage 4 testicular cancer.
Ryder went through chemo therapy and in April 2013 was diagnosed cancer free.
However sadly in October 2013 the 23-year-old died in a car accident. After his car broke down on the Glendale Freeway in California, Ryder was hit by two other cars.
He passed away just 24 days before Frozen hit theatres.
