“WWE is saddened to learn that former WWE Superstar Shad Gaspard has passed away at the age of 39.”
Gaspard’s tag-team partner during his WWE tenure JTG shared a photo of a message he received from Gaspard telling him, “if ever I die tomorrow just know I love you as a brother and friend forever, even past this life.”
