Guilt about family left behind?

I am ready for us to quit our jobs, rent out both units in our two family house and live on the road...permanently...my husband (John) needs some convincing. Our son will be 24 this summer, so he doesn't need us to provide for him anymore. John's biggest concern seems to be not being here for his mom 75 & my parents mid 60's, we are in our 40's. It's not that they need us to for care for them, he says it's the guilt we will have if something happens and we aren't here.
I don't know if I'm being selfish or maybe ignorant. I just think WE could be sick or dead tomorrow, never mind everyone else. Do you think he has a valid reason not to leave?

Wide spread of generational needs to consider.

Sounds like the 24 y/o is fine and the concerns center on what worse cases scenarios exist for the family elders. Various forms of insurance; health care delineated both legally and medically and the lines of communication open should stand all in good stead.
