Hollywood is grieving the loss of Adan Canto, a 42-year-old actor known for “Designated Survivor” and “The Cleaning Lady.”
Canto died on January 8 from a rare cancer known as appendiceal cancer. Canto is survived by his wife, Stephanie Ann Canto, and their two children, Roman Alder and Eve Josephine.
A representative for Canto stated, “Adan had a depth of spirit that few truly knew. Those who glimpsed it were changed forever.” This reflects the profound impact Canto had on his community.
Stephanie Ann Canto posted a touching tribute to her husband on Instagram. She included a powerful quote from Matthew 6:19-21 about the value of spiritual over material treasures.
“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 ended her post with, “Forever my treasure, Adan. See you soon.”

Canto valued life and family. He once told The Christian Post about the importance of perspective and humility in life. He emphasized learning from life’s challenges to emerge stronger. He said, “This is something that I admit I don’t embody every day, but it’s certainly something I want to strive to do.”
On his faith, Canto spoke clearly about the role of God. He found comfort in the belief that God guides everything on earth. “That alone should give us a lot of peace of mind, knowing that there is a higher wisdom behind it all,” he explained.
