What a short life with so much tragedy.
"Bixby's first marriage was to actress*Brenda Benet.[23]*They were married in 1971 and she gave birth to their son Christopher in 1974. In 1981, Christopher died suddenly of a rare throat infection. Bixby and Benet divorced shortly afterwards, and Benet committed suicide the following year.[24]*In 1989, he met Laura Michaels, who had worked on the set of one of his*Hulk*movies. The couple married a year later in Hawaii. In early 1991, Bixby was diagnosed with*prostate cancer*and underwent treatment.[25]*He was divorced in the same year. In late 1992, friends introduced him to the artist Judith Kliban, widow of*B. Kliban, a cartoonist who had died of a pulmonary embolism. Bixby married Judith in late 1993, just six weeks before he collapsed on the set of*Blossom."
