Mia St. John Pays Emotional Tribute to Late Ex-Husband Kristoff St. John on Fifth Death Anniversary

Mia St. John recently paid a loving tribute on social media. Five years have passed since the tragic demise of her late ex-husband, Kristoff St. John. The former boxing champion, facing life’s relentless onslaughts with courage and resilience, bared her soul in the pages of her 2021 book, ‘Fighting for My Life’. The raw and heart-wrenching account delved into her battle with alcoholism, a relentless foe she’s confronted with unwavering determination.

The shadows of tragedy loom large as the pages unfold, revealing the profound losses etched into her story. In 2014, the cruel hand of fate claimed her 24-year-old son Julian, ensnared by the grips of paranoid schizophrenia. The haunting echoes of sorrow reverberated again in 2019 when her ex-husband, the renowned ‘Young and the Restless’ star Kristoff St. John, succumbed to heart disease at the age of 52. Now she has made a post in remembrance of both him and her son.

Mia St. John remembers Kristoff St. John, a “loving man and father”

The world bid a somber farewell to Kristoff St. John, an illustrious actor with two Daytime Emmy Awards and ten NAACP Image Awards, to his credit. The cause of his untimely death was identified as hypertrophic heart disease. The fatal condition is characterized by an abnormal thickening of the heart muscle, impeding the vital task of pumping blood.

Now after five years, Mia St. John took to X to talk about how much she still misses him every day. She wrote, “Five years ago today we lost @kristoffstjohn1. He was not only an amazing Emmy award winning actor, but a kind, loving man & father. I miss him and our son every day of my life.”

The image she posted was of her ex-husband and her son Julian St. John, standing shoulder-to-shoulder in an embrace as they smilingly looked into the camera. At the bottom of the image, a line read, “In loving memory Kristoff and Julian St. John.”

Julian, at the tender age of 24, succumbed to the weight of mental illness, ultimately choosing to end his own life. Kristoff St. John’s journey reached its poignant climax just over four years later, mirroring the somber anniversary of Julian’s departure.

In the poignant tapestry of Mia St. John’s life, tragedy has struck with unfathomable repetition. It is clearly evident from the post, that she still misses the two of them every day. Seeing so much pain, she’s become one of the most active mental health advocates and dedicates a lot of her time to helping others overcome similar painful past experiences.
