U.S. Sen. John Sidney McCain III died at 4:28 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 25, at his home in Page Springs.

“With the senator when he passed were his wife Cindy and their family. At his death, he had served the United States of America faithfully for 60 years,” reads a statement released by the McCain family about 45 minutes after his death.

The family released a statement on Friday, Aug. 24, indicating McCain was ceasing medical treatment for an aggressive glioblastoma, a brain tumor.

“In the year since [his diagnosis], John has surpassed expectations for his survival,” the family stated Friday. “But the progress of disease and the inexorable advance of age render their verdict. With his usual strength of will, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment.

“Our family is immensely grateful for the support and kindness of all his caregivers over the last year, and for the continuing outpouring of concern and affection from John’s many friends and associates, and the many thousands of people who are keeping him in their prayers. God bless and thank you all,” the family concluded.

As the son and grandson of four-star U.S. Navy admirals, McCain moved frequently throughout his childhood, never spending more than a few years in any given place, his family stated. He would often explain that the place in which he lived the longest before making a home in Arizona with his wife Cindy was a prison in North Vietnam.

When he did finally settle in Arizona, McCain’s family said he was captivated by the beauty of the state and the pioneering spirit of its residents. He and Cindy raised their children in Phoenix and built a home along Oak Creek in Page Springs.

“I have never in my life loved one place more,” he wrote.

McCain will lie in state at the Arizona State Capitol on Wednesday, Aug. 29, with visitation open to the public from 2 to 8 p.m. In the last 40 years, only two individuals have lied in the Arizona State Capitol Museum Rotunda: Arizona State Sen. Marilyn Jarrett in 2006 and Olympic gold medalist Jesse Owens, a Tucson resident, in 1980.

McCain’s funeral service will be held Thursday, Aug. 30, at North Phoenix Baptist Church. On Friday, Aug. 31, McCain will lie in state at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. A formal ceremony will take place in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda at 11 a.m. Eastern time to honor McCain’s life and service to the nation. A national memorial service celebrating his life will take place at Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., at 10 a.m. Eastern time on Saturday, Sept. 1.

Following a private service on Sunday, Sept. 2, McCain will be laid to rest at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., next to his Naval Academy classmate and lifelong friend, U.S. Navy Admiral Chuck Larson. Before he died in 2014, Larson reserved four plots of land for himself, McCain and their spouses at the U.S. Naval Academy’s cemetery at Hospital Point, overlooking the Severn River near where their paths first crossed.
