Erick Redbeard, better known to fans as Erick Rowan of the Wyatt Family, posted a heartfelt tribute to Bray Wyatt and Brodie Lee in a post on Instagram.
He, along with Braun Strowman, are the only remaining surviving members of the Wyatt Family following the deaths of Wyatt and Lee.
“Writing this down makes my soul foggy and my heart ache. Over 12 years ago from the island of FCW we would talk of our mutual love of horror movies and music before embarking on this crazy journey that brought us around the world with Jon,” Erick wrote.
“In the process something happened, this family we portrayed weekly in the wrestling world became a real life bond. We spent more time together over the next few years than we would our own families. Strengthening our bond as we dealt with life trials and tribulations together. Eventually this family grew with the introduction of Adam. As did our love for one another,” he continued.
He said that life is sometimes unfair and wishes he could pick up the phone and talk to his brothers but the crazy truth is that they are no longer with us.
“Though I know they are always listening and smiling. With their sudden passings I can not state enough how much they loved their families. My heart hurts for their kids, for Jojo for Amanda for their brothers and sisters or anyone lucky enough to call them a friend,” he wrote.
“I love you both so much. This is only Goodbye for Now, I will see you down the road.”
Erick was brought in for the Wyatt Smackdown tribute show last week and stood with Braun Strowman, also brought in just for the show.
