Breaking Bad Star RJ Mitte Remembered by Ex-Girlfriend Saint Sasha Following Tragic Death at 34

Saint Sasha, the former teenage girlfriend of RJ Mitte, shared an emotional tribute remembering the late actor following his tragic death at age 34. Mitte died by suicide on Monday in Texas, a detail confirmed by Page Six. Following the news, Sasha posted two throwback photographs of the former couple on Instagram, including one image of them smiling at home and another of them cuddling in the sunlight.

Sasha, who works as a Portland-based photographer, opened up about their past relationship in her online post. She recalled falling in love for the first time at age 18 and credited Mitte with showing her how a man is supposed to treat a woman. She described him as the first partner who built her up and made her feel unstoppable.

The photographer noted that Mitte possessed one of the kindest and rarest hearts she had ever experienced and mentioned that they remained friends. She added that she could not believe the news was real and emphasized that she would never forget him or how he made her feel, concluding her message with an expression of love.

Mitte was widely recognized for playing Walter “Flynn” White Jr., the son of Bryan Cranston’s character, throughout all five seasons of AMC’s hit series Breaking Bad. In addition to his acting career, Mitte had cerebral palsy and served as an ambassador for United Cerebral Palsy of San Diego.

His passing arrived roughly a year after he got engaged to his partner of five years, Kennedy Suarez, on her 30th birthday. Mitte proposed in October 2025 at a charity event in Carlsbad, California, that benefited the regional cerebral palsy organization. At the time, the actor expressed that he was thrilled to have found his person and partner in life.

Luis Moncada, who played Marco Salamanca on Breaking Bad, recently shared that he reunited with Mitte at a charity golf tournament shortly before his death. Moncada noted that Mitte seemed tired and sad during their encounter, prompting the co-star to invite him to a balloon fiesta in hopes of lifting his spirits. Moncada observed that Mitte appeared conflicted and pulled in various directions.

In what marked his final interview prior to his death, Mitte expressed optimism about his career, stating that he planned to continue auditioning and pushing forward despite the unpredictable nature of the entertainment industry.
