On the night of Monday, October 28th, we lost our beloved friend Stephen Benjamin “Kitaen” Sandknop when he jumped off a building in North Hollywood after an ongoing battle with meth addiction.
He was a beautiful, bright, FUN, talented, sparkly, amazing person until he fell into addiction. It feels like my friend was gone a long time ago, but now that he actually is…I can’t stop crying. I wish his drug addled brain could have understood how much he would actually be missed. If he did, I think he would have chosen to stay.
Please help spread the word that doing hard drugs is not okay, cool, or safe. Once that stuff gets hold of a person with an addictive personality, it will be too late. It was only about six months ago that he was clean, smiling, and happy at The Trouble with Barry premiere.
Words cannot describe how much we love you and miss you, Stephen.
And FUCK YOU, meth.
