A statement from the Satterley family was read by Renee Paquette yesterday while at ringside during Dynamite.

The statement was written by Pac’s widow Natalie, his mother Jillian, and father Stephen.

The full statement reads:

We’re completely devastated to have lost our beautiful Ben, but the love and support we’ve received through every corner of the globe has been helping us get through these awful days.

Whilst he will always have a legacy as one of the greatest wrestlers the UK has ever produced, we’ve been so glad to see so many wonderful tributes to who Ben was as a person. He exemplified what it meant to be a decent human being. An honorable man with principals, who adored his family and his sausage dog Wolfie. Ben loved Newcastle United, he loved reggae and hip-hop, he loved nights out dancing with his wife and friends and spending time with his parents, who now must mourn the loss of their only child.

Ben had a long and illustrious career that took him all over the world. In late 2018, he met Tony Khan, who changed his life forever. Tony’s faith in Ben was never lost on him and he was always committed to giving the best performance he possibly could.

Ben was so happy and proud to be part of this AEW family and to be in an encouraging, caring environment that he could feel at ease in. He made some wonderful friends with his time in the company. We could not be more thankful to everyone at AEW in all of their help navigating this tragedy, they’ve been truly phenomenal. Tony Khan is a great man and this business is so lucky to have someone like him. Thank you for lightening our load.

Thank you to all of Ben’s fans for their support over the years, we send you our love and have moved to see so many people say so many wonderful things about his impact on their lives, whether great or small.

We will love you forever, Ben. Our lives will never be the same without you.

Thank you.

The Satterley Family
