After passing away unexpectedly on Friday at 60, actor Lance Reddick is mourned by his loved ones.
“Lance was taken from us far too soon,” Stephanie Reddick, the late actor’s widow, wrote in an Instagram post on Saturday. “Thank you for all your overwhelming love, support and beautiful stories shared on these platforms over the last day. I see your messages and can’t begin to express how grateful I am to have them.”
According to his agent, Mia Hansen, Lance Reddick, a seasoned character actor best known for playing Cedric Daniels on “The Wire” and for his work in the “John Wick” film series, passed away from natural causes.
His “Wire” co-star Wendell Pierce remembered Reddick as a “man of great strength and grace” in a tribute on Friday.
“As talented a musician as he was an actor,” Pierce wrote. “The epitome of class. A sudden unexpected sharp painful grief for our artistic family. An unimaginable suffering for his personal family and loved ones. Godspeed my friend. You made your mark here.”
“Shocked!! Speechless!! This talented, kind, intelligent King is gone!! I was blessed to have worked with you and blessed to have known you,” actress Viola Davis wrote in a tribute on Instagram. “Praying for comfort for your family and loved ones! Rest well Lance Reddick…..see you on the other side.”
Reddick’s coworkers in the franchise also recalled him after his appearance in “John Wick: Chapter 4.”
“A kindhearted soul, a wonderful human, and a true friend,” read a post from the film.
In the Destiny video game series, Reddick also provided the voice of Commander Zavala, who was well-liked by the game’s player base.
In her eulogy, his wife expressed her appreciation for them.
“And to the thousands of Destiny players who played in special tribute to Lance, thank you. Lance loved you as much as he loved the game,” Stephanie Reddick wrote.
She requested that contributions be given in his honor to momcares.org, nonprofit assisting moms and families in Baltimore, where he was born and raised.
