I saw this on IMDb and came here to post it. Rest in peace, John.
I've watched five of his films (Breakfest Club, Ferris and the Home Alone films), which I enjoyed a lot. Damn, they're dropping like flies these days. 
Heart attack heartbreak. Seems the guy left Hollywood to live a more peaceable life...
In the last decade, Hughes took a step back from movie-making to enjoy time with his family, maintain a functioning farm in Illinois and support independent arts. He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Nancy; two sons, John and James; and four grandchildren.
Married to the same wife all those years. Children and grandchildren. How very sad.

John Hughes was the man in the 80s! His movies were a significant part in my generations coming of age. The Breakfast Club alone, is a pure masterpiece! He will be missed.

Well I'm depressed!! Rest in Peace
