Is it normal find it sad for young people to die of cancer than anything else?

For some reason, when I hear of a young person dying of (non-smoking or unhealthy lifestyle related) cancer, I feel depressed. Personally, I find it sadder for young people to die of cancer than for them to die of an unnatural death (like car crash, murder, assassination, fall, poisoned, etc). The pain or suffering is not an issue, it's just the fact that cancer killed them young that depresses me.
It's always tragic when young people die, but for some reason, I find cancer the most tragic way. Is this normal?

    It's normal.
    I see where you are coming from too. I think knowing that you're going to die is what makes it sad for me. Knowing that you're going to die and watching all of your loved ones suffer because they can't help you. It's worse than just going.

    My father has been died due to the cancer 2 years ago.I can feel what you are trying to say but listen we all know that the death is a universal truth.Every living thing animal or human being has to die one day.The important thing is how are we living? how are we spending our time?What are we doing for the man kind?
    The trees are givings us shelter and fruits.Animals give us meat and milk but what are we doing for the betterment of the man kind as a human being?
    Cancer is a slow death and a gun shot is sudden death.The man has become beast killing and murdering his own fellow being.He has made the ordinance factories and preparing tons of gun powder not for the betterment of man kind.Cancer takes the life of one person but a single gun can take the life of dozens.To me cancer is not but it is the war which is big tragedy.
    Many intelligent brains have been died not due to cancer but because of extremist nature of man to continue war.
