The actor shared:

“I never had a brother, but you were my brother. You showed me the way. You were my mentor, you were my inspiration. You showed me what true talent was. You showed me what humility was. I love you. I hate this. I love you, but I'm going to celebrate all your good."

He added:

“To my Young and Restless family, Kristoff St. John aka Neil Winters, celebrate this man, the most popular, iconic black man in soap opera daytime history. Give him that. He earned it.”

Mia St. John, a professional boxer who was married to St. John from 1991 to1995, has revealed that she might take legal action against the Las Encinas Mental Health Facility in Pasadena. The late actor’s ex-wife claimed that the hospital hadn’t properly treated St. John.

She alleged that doctors hadn’t properly recognized the severity of her ex’s mental illness and addiction.
