As noted before, wrestling legend and former WWE and WCW wrestler Sid Vicious, real name Sidney Raymond Eudy, passed away on Monday at the age of 63.
Eudy’s son Gunnar Eudy issued an official statement on Facebook thanking everyone for the support they have shown towards his family and revealed that his father had been diagnosed with stage 4 Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2021. Gunnar also stated that his father had also been dealing with heart-related issues since 2016.
He was known as Psycho Sid Vicious to the world, but to our family, he was simply ‘Popper,’ the beloved grandfather.
Sid was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in 2016 and atrial fibrillation (better known as AFIB) around the same time. He was also given a pacemaker. In April 2021, he was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which was linked to roundup weed killer.
Although he never told anyone about his fight against cancer, Sid lived his life to the fullest, attending the gym, boxing classes, making appearances for his fans, and of course t-ball games for the kids. He passed away peacefully in his bed, leaving behind a legacy of strength and determination. I’ve never met anyone with a fraction of the strength as my father he truly was one of a kind.
Thanks everyone for the uplifting words and love we definitely feel it we have received thousands of messages and are grateful for everyone of them. I don’t have time to reply but I have read them all thank you thank you thank you!
Signed, Gunnar Eudy
