Stephanie also thanked “the thousands of Destiny players who played in special tribute to Lance,” who voiced Commander Zavala in the video game franchise. As Polygon reported, players flocked to Zavala’s side in Destiny 2 and shared hugs and gave salutes following the actor’s death.

“Lance loved you as much as he loved the game,” Stephanie told Destiny players.

Stephanie informed fans that donations can be made to MOMCares, an organization supporting under-supported mothers in Baltimore, Lance’s hometown.

Lance was found dead in his home in Studio City, CA, on Friday, March 17, according to TMZ. He was in the middle of a press tour for John Wick: Chapter 4, in which he’d again play Continental Hotel concierge Charon.
