A few days after Adan Canto's death, his wife, Stephanie, broke her silence, telling her late husband she would "see him soon".
Adan Canto, known for his role in FOX’s series ‘The Cleaning Lady’ and Netflix’s ‘Narcos’, passed away earlier this week. He was 42.
A rep later confirmed that Canto passed away after a private battle with appendiceal cancer.
“Adan had a depth of spirit that few truly knew. Those who glimpsed it were changed forever,” his rep said of the late actor.
“He leaves behind his wife, best friend, and creative partner Stephanie Ann Canto as well as his two greatest works of art, Roman Alder, three-and-a-half years of age, and Eve Josephine, one-and-a-half years of age. He will be greatly missed by so many.”

Days after Adan passed away, his wife took to social media, sharing a selfie she took of her and Adan, along with a passage from Mathew 6:19-21:
"'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."
She concluded with, "Forever my treasure Adan, see you soon."
