@SMickey,
I think that rather than telling him how he should be feeling, let him know that YOU think it's sucks that he broke his arm and if he needs anything that you're there to help out (yard stuff, heavy lifting, chores, whatever).
Generally, people don't like or need to be told how they should be feeling. Telling somebody to "cheer up" basically says "whatever emotions you have about this, they are wrong , and I know how you should be feeling".
Just offer support and acknowledgement​ of the situation and validation to whatever feels this guy has about his broken arm.
