Lance Reddick's wife Stephanie speaks out for the first time after his death: 'Taken from us far too soon'

Lance Reddick's wife Stephanie has broken her silence following the actor's sudden death at the age of 60 Friday.

Stephanie, who married Reddick in 2011, shared a tribute to her late husband on his verified social media accounts and expressed her gratitude to his fans for their condolences.

"Lance was taken from us far too soon," she wrote on Instagram Saturday along with four photos of the "John Wick" star, including one of his "Destiny" video game character Commander Zavala.

"Thank you for all your overwhelming love, support and beautiful stories shared on these platforms over the last day. I see your messages and can't begin to express how grateful I am to have them.

"And to the thousands of Destiny players who played in special tribute to Lance, thank you. Lance loved you as much as he loved the game."

Reddick voiced the character of Commander Zavala in the 2014 video game "Destiny" and its 2017 sequel "Destiny 2." Since the release of "Destiny 2," the game's developer, Bungie, has regularly released expansions and quarterly seasons. 

Reddick was the game's longest-running and most-used voice cast member, according to Forbes.

After news of his death broke Friday, thousands of "Destiny" players paid tribute to Reddick in-game by visiting Commander Zavala in his station at the Tower, the outlet reported. 

Since only 16 players can fit in the Tower at a time, the gamers have been holding hundreds of vigils. The players' avatars were seen gathering around Zavala, paying their respects in various ways as they kneeled, saluted, hugged or stood silently side by side. 

Reddick had a strong relationship with the "Destiny" fan community, frequently posting videos of himself playing the game and recording fan-requested dialogue in character.

The actor died "suddenly" due to natural causes, his publicist Mia Hansen confirmed in a statement to The Associated Press.

In addition to starring in all four of the "John Wick" movies, Reddick was known for his roles on "The Wire," "Fringe," "Bosch," "Oz," "White House Down," "Godzilla vs. Kong" and "Lost" among many other film and TV projects.

Many of Reddick's former co-stars and other celebrities, including Ben Stiller, Wendell Pierce, Stephen King and James Gunn mourned his death on social media.

"John Wick: Chapter Four" star Keanu Reeves and the film's director Chad Stahelski paid tribute to Reddick in a joint statement to Deadline.

"We are deeply saddened and heartbroken at the loss of our beloved friend and colleague Lance Reddick," they said. 

"He was the consummate professional and a joy to work with. Our love and prayers are with his wife Stephanie, his children, family and friends. We dedicate the film to his loving memory. We will miss him dearly."

Reddick portrayed Charon, a Continental Hotel concierge and close ally to Wick, in all four installments of the franchise. The fourth film debuts in theaters next week.

The actor did not attend the premiere of "John Wick: Chapter Four" in New York City Wednesday. He shared three photos to Instagram in which he was seen relaxing on a couch with his dogs Thursday, one day before his death.

Free agent WR Odell Beckham dismisses reports saying he is seeking contract worth $20M annually

Three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. continues to search for his next NFL team.

Beckham recently held a private workout in Arizona and reportedly grabbed the attention of several teams.

According to CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones, the Panthers, Giants, Patriots, Rams, Cardinals, 49ers, Bills, Chiefs, Vikings, Browns and Ravens were represented at the workout.

Despite the high level of interest, Beckham remains unsigned, and one of the reasons the star wideout hasn't landed a contract apparently involves his reported salary demands.

The 30-year-old took to Twitter Saturday to push back against the idea he is seeking a contract with an annual average of at least $20 million. 

Beckham disputed claims he is seeking $20 million per year on the open market. However, he also added that it would take more than $4 million to get a deal done.

"I'm just so confused where the quote is from me (that) said I want 20…..all I'm saying is 4 AINT enough," Beckham wrote.

It is unclear if Beckham actually received a $4 million offer.

Last week, Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio reported on Beckham's desire to ink a contract that pays him around $20 million per season. However, Tom Pelissero previously reported OBJ had made "no financial demands"

The Cowboys publicly courted Beckham for several weeks at the end of last season but were notably absent from his private workout. Longtime Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones seemed more interested in learning more about Beckham's mother, Heather Van Norman.

"I did have a very impressive conversation with the most important one in this whole proposition, that’s his mother," Jones told Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "It was really easy for me to see where Odell [Beckham] got a lot of his pluses. She was very impressive. You can see where he gets a lot of the things he has."

It is a less-than-ideal time to be a wide receiver on the free agent market, but some receivers did land contracts earlier this week.

Jakobi Meyers agreed to a three-year contract with the Las Vegas Raiders worth $33 million, including $21 million guaranteed, sources told NFL Media.

Beckham's health will be closely evaluated by any team that considers signing him. 

But he clearly isn't interested in any low-ball offers.

"They wanna try Mouton but pay box wine price for it," Beckham tweeted Thursday.
