In my life journey I have come across only a few people that radiate pure love, Kristoff was one of those people. He was so selfless when it came to caring for others. He was smart, so insightful, and supportive of everything positive. 1/2

2/2. His smile would light up a room and his presence was always welcome. I will miss him. I know in my heart he has found peace and we all have another angel watching over us. God bless his soul. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

I’m truly sad this morning. Shocked about my friend, actor Kristoff St John. My audition buddy. Our fathers would always chat about the business well after our auditions, so we’d chat about stuff too. Kid stuff. pic.twitter.com/4WEiLv9z2w

Just hearing the news of the passing of Kristoff St John. I was honored to have been nominated alongside him years ago for an NAACP Image Award…an award he won that year. We didn’t know each other well but every time we spoke, your words were encouraging and kind. RIP 🙏🏼
