Stephanie Ann Canto is sharing an emotional message following the passing of her husband Adan Canto. The ‘X-Men’ actor died on January 8 at age 42 after battling appendiceal cancer, as revealed by a representative for the Mexican-American star.

Stephanie took to social media to share a photo of her and Adan, accompanied by a touching tribute following the sad news. “Forever my treasure Adan, see you soon,” she wrote, adding a broken heart emoji.

“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,“ she wrote.
