Canadian actor Keanu Reeves, 58, mourned the loss of John Wick costar Lance Reddick, who died at the age of 60, with a heartfelt tribute.

"We are deeply saddened and heartbroken at the loss of our beloved friend and colleague Lance Reddick. He was the consummate professional and a joy to work with," Reeves and stuntman Chad Stahelski said in a joint statement to Variety on Friday.

The joint statement added: "We dedicate the film to his loving memory. We will miss him dearly."

Reddick is survived by his wife Stephanie and children Yvonne Nicole and Christopher, his rep confirmed to Us in a statement at the time.

“Donations in his memory can be made to momcares.org in Baltimore, his hometown. Lance will be greatly missed. Please respect his family’s privacy at this time.”

In previous remarks before his death, Reddick opened up about his experience working alongside the Matrix star.

"He's also very shy. This is going to sound really weird, but — he seems simple, but spiritually he's very advanced," he gushed to Vulture in December 2021. "On the one hand, I feel like I don't know him very well but on the other, I just adore that guy. He's such a wonderful human being."
