The actor Keith Jeffersonwho participated in films such as “Django Unchained” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” by director Quentin Tarantino, died recently at the age of 53.

The performer, who participated in the most recent feature film “The Burial,” died almost two months after announcing that he had been diagnosed with cancer.

“Every once in a while, God gives you a challenge and leaves it up to you to solve. When I was diagnosed with cancer, I had to stop, take a break, and I didn’t want to share it with anyone. Not even my family and extended family. Today I am in the right place to transmit it because my faith is getting stronger,” the artist wrote at the time along with a moving image.

From his networks, the artist dedicated an endearing message to him where he highlighted that he was his great friend and soul mate.

“This loss hurts. Keith, you have been nothing but absolute grace, your entire life, your heart is pure love without measure, you have been a wonderful soul. We will miss you immensely. It’s going to take a while to get over this. Goodbye my friend. I love you,” Foxx wrote.

Jefferson’s funeral will take place on October 21, in the state of Texas.
