Dyna Mitte is paying tribute to R.J. Mitte 15 days after discovering her son at his Texas home after he took his own life at age 34 .
“We are lost without him, yet we know he wouldn’t want us to be,” Dyna wrote about the Breaking Bad actor and activist in a social media post on Tuesday. “He would want his message heard and the work we were doing with The Mitte Foundation in Brownsville to continue.”
In her touching tribute posted to Instagram, Dyna wrote, “What can I say about my precious child? From the day we got RJ at 3 days old, he has been inspiring and sharing his heart with everyone he met. Whether he was learning to manage and later thrive with cerebral palsy or finding his way in the acting community, it required hard work, but he succeeded and was always ready for the next challenge.
