Make Page Six a Preferred Source RJ Mitte’s mother, Dyna Mitte, opened up about the “Breaking Bad” star’s “painfully difficult” death at 34.
“My beautiful boy, it has been a month since you left us. I miss you so much it hurts,” she wrote via Instagram Thursday alongside a photo of her and RJ.
“There are days that it feels like it happen [sic] today, and at times it feels like forever ago. I am trying to navigate through this new life, but it is so painfully difficult. What I would not give to hold you again, see that beautiful smile, laugh at the crazy conversations we had, are [sic] just look at you.”
“I love you forever + time. Please continue to watch over us. With all my love, Mom,” Dyna concluded.
As Page Six previously reported, RJ died by suicide by hanging in Brownsville, Texas, on Oct. 12.
Dyna previously opened up about the moment she learned of the death of her son, who was a disabilities advocate and lived with cerebral palsy.
“I called him at 11 [a.m.],” she told NBC News. “He didn’t answer, so I picked up lunch and went to take it to him, and that’s when I discovered him.”
Dyna told the outlet that her son did not seem to leave a note behind, and that she believes his death may have been a decision made in the “spur of the moment.”
RJ, who was described by his mom as a “special, special soul,” was best known for his role as Walter “Flynn” White Jr. on “Breaking Bad,” which she called an “incredible experience for [her] son.”
A representative for RJ confirmed to Page Six that his cause of death was suicide shortly after the news of his passing.
“RJ Mitte was best known for his role as Walter ‘Flynn’ White Jr. on AMC’s critically acclaimed, award-winning series ‘Breaking Bad.’ Drawing from his own experience living with cerebral palsy, Mitte brought authenticity to the role and built a platform on disability awareness and inclusion.”
In the days after his death, several of RJ’s former “Breaking Bad” co-stars, most notably his on-screen parents, Bryan Cranston and Anna Gunn, paid tribute to him.

“I met him when he was only 14 years old when he was cast as Walter White Jr., a part he played with such joy and enthusiasm,” Cranston wrote via Instagram.
“Born with Cerebral Palsy, he never – ever – allowed that challenge to be an excuse for anything. He met the demanding shooting schedule head on with great determination,” the Emmy winner added.
Cranston heartbreakingly shared that the two had been “figuring out when [they] could meet for lunch,” but the plan never came to fruition.
He now wonders if the meeting “would have changed his future.”
On Nov. 7, several members of the hit AMC show’s cast reunited for the late actor’s celebration of life ceremony in Los Angeles.
Cranston, Aaron Paul and Bob Odenkirk were among the attendees who paid tribute to RJ at Hope Lutheran Church in Hollywood, per photos obtained by Page Six.
