Tributes and Legacy

Partner and Friends Remember
Frequent tag team partner Softpaws shared his sorrow: “Today was the first day I woke up knowing I didn’t have my tag team partner, my best friend, the funniest, most outrageous and ridiculous person I’ve ever met in my life. I spent almost 24 hours straight with you and in the very few hours after we parted ways, you were gone. Everyone always says it doesn’t feel real when they lose someone close. I now understand that. I saw you for almost a 24-hour period straight. Then in the few hours we were apart, you were gone. I don’t know how I’m going to live the rest of my life without you.”
