RJ Mitte’s Mom Shares Heartbreaking Tribute to Breaking Bad Star: ‘We Are Lost’

Dyna Mitte says her son inspired others through acting and disability advocacy as the family plans another memorial in Los Angeles.

  • On Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2026, Dyna Mitte paid tribute to her late son, R.J. Mitte, via Instagram, two weeks after the 34-year-old Breaking Bad actor died by suicide in Texas.
