Per Canto’s obituary, a funeral service was held Friday at Surf Ballroom & Museum in Clear Lake, Iowa.
Canto died after a nearly four-year illness with appendiceal cancer. He is survived by his wife, Stephanie Canto, and their children, Roman and Eve.
He played vice president-elect Aaron Shore on the ABC-turned-Netflix thriller Designated Survivor. Soon after Canto’s passing, Sutherland praised his former co-star on Instagram, saying: “He was such a wonderful spirit. As an actor, his desire to do well, to be great, and then do better was truly impressive and he will be greatly missed. I am also heartbroken for his wife, Steph and his two young children. Adan, may you rest in peace.”
