This one shocked me. As others have said, 61 is no age, especially these days. He was a great actor, too, almost criminally overlooked by comparison with some, though his performance as Hudson in Aliens is probably the stand-out for me. He always came over as a really nice guy in interviews, too - something that's backed up by all the tributes paid to him by those who knew and/or had worked with him.
A class act. RIP.

Paxton seemed like a regular and decent fellow. Very surprised to learn of his passing. I recall he narrated a documentary on the JFK assassination and there is a picture of Paxton as a kid in the crowd at Ft. Worth when JFK gave his final public speech just a couple hours before being assassinated.
