The late political maverick and father of seven was honored with heartfelt tributes from his family that recalled him best as a loving father and husband.
Like walking out on his wife. She had had 23 surgeries and supported the kids for five years. Ross Perot paid her medical bills. Three of the children were with his first wife. He adopted her sons. Nice family man.

Absolutely disgusted by the amount of sick people leaving awful comments about this incredible man. A true hero, characterized by his integrity, class, and bipartisanship. An American patriot who will be greatly missed. This comment section highlights the truly vile people who live in this country. R.I.P Senator McCain
For Meghan McCain.FathersFathers go. And, it is winter, again. And always. Daughters are left...knowing nothing, forever altered, prepared for nothing. Snow and coldmake a path, always will, going forward. We will remember spring.I have climbed through this broken glass hole of his absence,for decades, now. There is the piano, proclaiming his pride, his days. Proclaiming me. I am half of what remains, of thatfine, mortal man. Nothing has changed, and the world is not as it was. I am in black, in winter, in ice, in hope. Here I stand, in his boots,his heavy jacket. I look away from the trees, the high sky. I do not hear the guns, or see the flag. My father is buried in a military cemetery, where honor is winged, and theyears change nothing. Men like this cannot really be taken; they have given themselves away, for us, before the time. That's grace. Know child, you have been loved. Spring will come, dear seed.Heather Aviles2018
Were you a part of their marriage? Don't think so! Therefore, you can't speak with any authority on the matter. Factually, the timeline is wrong for what you're saying happened. It's extremely bad form and inappropriate to speak ill of the dead. Haters just need to remain silent.
Maybe the Good Morning America show should bring on McCain's first wife and let her tell the true story. She waited for him while he was a POW, only to have been dumped by him when he came home, because she had been in a terrible accident, was disfigured and gained some weight. An honorable man would not have done what he did to his first wife and their children.
This man left his wife for a mistress, Case Closed. Do your homework and learn the facts before you judge me. I'm only telling the truth. I'm not going to lie and act as though this man was a saint. I feel sorry for him and I have prayed for him and I asked God to have mercy on his soul and to comfort the family during this time, but I am not going to sugar coat his sins.
Flower Girl do you know what you’re doing is being judge mental and gossipy and that my dear is wrong And don’t use God to justify your nasty messiness. Because you wouldn’t know God if he was wearing a green hat in the middle of St. Patrick’s Day with a sign that said I am god so stop it messy lady! Who are you are you without sin have you never done anything wrong in your life please hypocrite! He has owned up to what he is done he is not a perfect man but what he is is human just like the rest of us! And if his first wife can forgive him who are you to hold it against him you don’t know what he’s done in his marriage so stop! This man has a family who has lost their loved one and you sit here on your judge mental chair thrown talking trash about him talking about you prayed for his cell please and he is gone on to glory you don’t need to pray for his soul you need to look at your heart that’s what you need to look at! Good night
Way to go GMA can't ever tell the truth might offend somebody makes me sick to see someone like this honored my brother's didn't receive that honor coming back from the Vietnam War they were spit on! Read your history of course his Admiral Daddy did the best he could! to fix it but we all know what was going on they couldn't hide it when it happened! This is why people won't watch the news it's fake they can't tell the truth!
Heard interview with first wife, she didn't think much of him dumping on her when she was down to ball a ho 18 yrs younger. Or getting the new marriage licenses 4 wks before the devorce
Hey Linda...stop excusing what he did. Of course now that he has just died, she's not going to badmouth him in public. But what did she think of him in private when he did it.
Fake news strikes again courtesy of the lamestream media. They left the part where he barely graduated from Annapolis (fifth from last in his class), was known as a prankster and goof off (whose father and grandfather were both Admirals and were constantly covering for him), didn't possess the attitude, abilities or skills to become a fighter pilot (so he became an attack/bomber pilot instead), was such a poor pilot that he became the U.S. Navy's first and only "reverse ace", when he singlehandedly was solely responsible for the total destruction of five (5) Navy aircraft, whose juvenile antics caused the worst damage ever sustained on a U.S. aircraft carrier (U.S.S. Forrestall) since WW2 and resulted in the death of 134 of his fellow seamen and injured hundreds more (the ship was so badly damaged it had to be taken out of service for repairs), was shot down on a mission over Viet Nam (because he was disobeying orders and was flying in a sector he wasn't even supposed to be in), willingly conspired with and participated in a propaganda audiotape for the North Vietnamese government that earned him the nickname "Songbird" McCain by his fellow POW's at the notorious "Hanoi Hilton" and was such a despicable act of treason that (once again) his father/grandfather interceded on his behalf that resulted in a Presidential pardon by then President Nixon, cheated on and subsequently left his devoted and loving wife who remained ever faithful to him during his years of captivity by the North Vietnamese (after she had been permanently disfigured and crippled in a car accident), received a Silver Star because his father/grandfather used their influence to get him the award, created a completely false narrative and biography about his years in the military on which he campaigned to win a Senatorial seat in Washington, constantly voted in favor of military actions by the U.S., helped to create ISIS, voted numerous times against our veterans (i.e., one bill he strongly opposed was to increase veteran's military benefits), continually sided with Democrats and voted as such (even though he called himself a Republican), after Trump was elected President voted against every single bill Trump introduced (and cast the deciding vote to not rescind and dismantle the disastrous Obamacare plan, etc.). I think that about covers the many FACTS that somehow I was able to assemble on John "Songbird" McCain, but the lamestream media was not. Thank you. You're welcome. Burn in Hell you traitorous war mongering POS.
Old fart military men taught me a lot as a kid mean I understand why now I gotta practice ham and Morris code and code talking I was always with the vets
Yes. He does get a pass. Why? Because he redeemed himself. Donald never has. A real man can stand and say he made mistakes. He can have the courage to apologize. Donald is a coward. He's not a man.
Rosa Rosal You mean like tRump ?? But then 3 times, cheating on Melania when she was pregnant - not once but multiple times- and now an illegitimate child with his housekeeper ?? But Donny boy did it multiple times with all his wives. So tell me, what is worst ?? Coming back after 5,5 years as a POW and grew apart because of all that years or just doing because you wanted to do??
Gidget Trevathon I honor Senator McCain and his service to his country. I am a Veteran and this is one of my heroes. Senator McCain could have come home much earlier, but he kept the code. I will not respect somebody who is a draft dodger with the help from his father's money. Never ever. One more thing, this White House showed how much they respect veterans and how much they appreciating the service from the military and the families, and that is no respect and no appreciating for the service to the country,
People often glorify the dead and tend to make one life more meaningful than another. I do feel bad for his children and send them condolences. However the more important message I think is this because it is not my message...it is God's... One day there will be no more death on our beautiful planet... Psalms 37:9-29, 1 Corinthians 15:26, Revelation 21:3,4, no more sickness Isaiah 33:24, no more war Psalms 72:7, Isaiah 2:4 .
maritimer Man When you've spent over 5 years of torture. They you can speak on this. Otherwise you and the insanely jealous coward you adore can have many seats!!
Facts matter and truth is important. Your opinions are neither. It's extremely bad form and inappropriate to speak ill of the dead. Haters just need to remain silent.
Such a handsome, good hearted man. God bless him and his family
tell the truth about this loser
Like walking out on his wife. She had had 23 surgeries and supported the kids for five years. Ross Perot paid her medical bills. Three of the children were with his first wife. He adopted her sons. Nice family man.

Who left his first wife and the three children from that marriage ?
His daughter wouldn’t say anything to the media negative about her dad nor should she because in reality it’s none of our business.
At 0:52 was that a green screen background?
MUCH LOVE MUCH RESPECT BELOVED SENATOR MCCAIN
ABC, you are WRONG for covering up Bridget’s face with that ABC NEWS graphic, there’s certainly enough space to move it down, don’t be slick.
Didn't he leave his injured 1st wife and 3 kids for a girl 16 years younger than him?????
No Russian bot go to hell your are confusing him with trump elected official
GET BENT! Ignorant Snowflake!

Just because he's dead doesn't make him a saint.
Loved Sara Palin❤
Why was "No Name" Mc Cain put to death???
He always had Megan's approval
Didn't he cheat on his first wife while she had cancer?
It was after she was recovering from a bad car accident, but yes he cheated with several woman and ended up marrying the last one.
She had been disfigured in a car accident. McCain's callous character was evident right back then.
Candy Clews Agreed
Vile Crocodile
It ain't me ,i ain't no senators son I'm a admirals son
Aint this the same guy who denied mlk day twice?
Which family? Really? Let's hear from the first family.

She waited for him while he was a POW, only to have been dumped by him when he came home, because she had been in a terrible accident, was disfigured and gained some weight.

You didn't actually watch the video, did you? It shows in your comment.

Remember he left his first wife because of a illness she had
So handsome
Why are all of these news outlets glorifying this warmonger?
Shmeebs cuz without war, news would have nothing to report on. This man is their savior
It's sickening just goes to show you they are lock step with military industrial complex.
Because he was starting wars for Israel.
Because here in the west that's just what we do. Look, Assad.

Yes. He does get a pass. Why? Because he redeemed himself. Donald never has. A real man can stand and say he made mistakes. He can have the courage to apologize. Donald is a coward. He's not a man.

Ask the first wife and 3 kids how much of a family man he was. He was a lousy pilot and a noted Hot head.
he flew his toy airplane into the bath tub
How can he be a family man He left his first family's is a money man he married his second wife for money
