“This one hurts.
Great guy.
My deepest condolences and love to Shad Gaspard’s wife, son and family.
Shad drowned in the ocean, but not before instructing lifeguards to save his 10yr old son first.
That’s the love of a father.
This is a tough one to process.
Love and light to Shad’s family.
And your warrior spirit lives on through your son.”
Roman Reigns:
“Save my son.” Incredible man and father. My love and prayers go out to the Gaspard family. Rest in love Shad.

My very first match on FCW TV. Shad was unhappy during these times, but he was still kind to me and took good care of me. We rode to a couple towns together and he shared stories of his road experiences and his friendship with my cousin Umaga/Eki. Now they rest together. ?? https://t.co/Sv7FNDeIUv
