Adan Canto's wife has paid an emotional tribute to the late actor, following his death aged 42.
Stephanie Ann Canto took to Instagram to remember the 'Designated Survivor' star as her "treasure", and she shared an excerpt from the Book of Matthew from the Bible's New Testament.
Adan’s widow Stephanie - who has two children, Roman Alder, three, and 18-month-old Eve Josephine, with him - wrote: ""Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Mathew 6:19-21
Forever my treasure Adan, see you soon"
Adan passed away following a private battle with appendiceal cancer.
The married dad-of-two’s representatives at UTA, Entertainment360 and Viewpoint told Deadline: "Adan had a depth of spirit that few truly knew. Those who glimpsed it were changed forever.
"He will be greatly missed by so many."
The late actor starred opposite Halle Berry in her 2020 directorial debut 'Bruised', as well as 2014's 'X-Men: Days of Future Past', and the Hollywood star admitted Adan will be "forever in [her] heart" following his shock death.
Sharing a photo of the late star, she wrote on Instagram: “I don’t have the words just yet…. but my dear sweet friend Adan just gained his wings. Forever, forever in my heart [dove and gret heart emoji] (sic)"
Adan was also known for playing Aaron Shore in political drama 'Designated Survivor' and his co-star Kiefer Sutherland, who portrayed President Tom Kirkwood, admitted he was "heartbroken" by the news.
He wrote on Instagram: "It seems lately I have had to make too many posts like this one but I am heartbroken by the loss of Adan Canto. He was such a wonderful spirit. As an actor his desire to do well, to be great, and then do better, was truly impressive and he will be greatly missed.
"I am also heartbroken for his wife, Steph and his two young children. Adan, may you rest in peace."
