The realm of professional wrestling has been struck by multiple heartbreaking incidents in recent months. Kevin Nash’s son, Tristan, passed away, while Jay Briscoe lost his life in a car accident in January 2023. Sadly, Arn Anderson has now revealed that his eldest son, Barrett, has also passed away at the age of 37. The circumstances surrounding his death are currently unclear, causing even more sorrow for those who loved him.
As a WWE Hall of Famer, Arn Anderson took to Twitter to express his heartbreak over the loss of his son, who had his whole life ahead of him. Brock Anderson, Arn’s younger son, is also part of the AEW roster and has formed a tag team with Brian Pillman Jr., whose father, Brian Pillman, was also once a member of the Four Horsemen alongside Arn Anderson.
Our hearts go out to Arn Anderson and his family during this difficult time. We offer our deepest condolences to them and pray that they find comfort and strength to get through this tragic loss. Rest in peace, Barrett.
Last night my family suffered a loss that should never he felt by any parent.
Our older son Barrett passed away.
I am struggling to write this. Tell those you love that you love them.
