• Bray Wyatt’s Son Pays Tribute To His Father (Photos)
Bray Wyatt’s son, Knash, honored his late father in a touching way on his birthday by dressing up as The Fiend, one of Bray’s most iconic characters.
Special effects artist Jason Baker shared the story on X. He revealed that JoJo Offerman, Bray Wyatt’s fiancée and Knash’s mother, had reached out with a special request: Knash wanted to dress like his dad for his birthday.
Baker and designer Sandy Mimpson responded right away. They used the original mold for The Fiend’s mask and recreated the costume based on Bray Wyatt’s classic wrestling gear. The two worked quickly to make sure Knash had everything ready for his big day.
Here’s what Jason posted:
“I had the honor of doing something that is so close to my heart that I’m still fighting back tears while writing this. I got a call from Jojo wanting to fulfill Knash’s birthday wish, which was to dress up like his dad @Windham6 for his birthday party.
Needless to say, @SandyMimpson and I dropped everything to make this happen for such an incredible little man. We love you Knash and Hope you had the best birthday ever!
