Ron Starr Passes Away

Rock Rims has posted the following to Facebook confirming the passing of professional wrestler Ron Starr. We send along our condolences to Starr’s family and friends:

We’re dropping like flies.” My friend Bobby Nutt, known in professional wrestling as Ron Starr, said this too me several times over the last few years during our regular phone conversations. Those conversations entailed details of his career, his life growing up, his service in the U.S. Army which included two tours of Viet Nam where he was a decorated soldier, and often, just about life, and our place in it.

His comment about the flies was in reference to the passing of several of the legends of pro wrestling during the last few years. While he was never a member of the CAC and thus never honored there, and while he has yet to be inducted into the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame, nevertheless, he has taken his rightful place among the legends of wrestling’s past. At 6:20 a.m. this morning, Ron Starr was found dead in his home by his loving wife Jackie, who for several years worked as his valet “Miss Peaches.” He died peacefully in his sleep of a collapsed lung.

Ron had been fighting an uphill battle against a myriad of health issues over the last twenty years, battles which included four heart attacks, four strokes, and numerous brushes with death, not to mention constant pain in his neck, back and hips. But he fought his battles with an even greater tenacity than that exhibited in the many ring wars during his 25-year pro wrestling career, a career which criss-crossed the U.S. and Canada, and took him across the ocean to Puerto Rico, Japan, South Africa and China. It was a career which provided thrills for thousand of fans, and gained the respect of his peers for his toughness and ability in the ring. His career allowed him to travel places some people save all their lives to visit and allowed him to do what he loved, and fulfill his childhood dream. If only all of us could be so fortunate.

It was a tremendous pleasure to watch him work in the ring, an honor to help him write his autobiography, a dream come true for both of us. And it was a privilege to be his friend.

Ron left us when it was time, although it’ll always feel like it was too soon. I love you Brother and miss you all ready. I always will. Rest in Peace.
