The two worked very closely during Goddard’s time on the Y&R. Goddard posted on X, as well as Instagram. He uploaded a photo of a very young St. John, on his own, with the caption, “7 years #GoneTooSoon #KristoffStJohn #YR.”
Many fans also hit social media, posting photos of St. John, as a beautiful way to honor the legendary actor.
St. John passed away in his Los Angeles home on February 3, 2019, at 52 years of age.

During his time on the CBS soap, he earned two Daytime Emmy awards and 11 nominations.
