Not sure what to say?

Del was such a great guy. We talked much on Twitter. Was stunned he passed. Had talked with him 2 days before. Said he was feeling great. Loved his Gamecocks. We were from different sides if the political isle but we always found common talking ground. I will miss him much. May he Rest In Peace.

Sorry for your loss.I played with Del during the 1984 season.He was great teammate and leader.

A Awesome person and a fantastic pro wrestler . I watched you as a kid in the AWA as the Trooper . I was a Huge Fan . Thank You Del .Many Blessings.

Family, Sooo sorry for your loss! May Jesus comfort and strengthen you! We knew Del as a teenager at Faith Baptist Campground.

I was a wrestling fan in the 90's. It's surreal to think that he was only active in WWF for 3 months, because he made such a lasting impact that people are still talking about his run over 20 years later. On camera, he had such an endearing personality that I can only believe was his genuine self shining through the character. Condolences to everyone who knew him in real life. The wrestling world misses him, too.

Our family just saw this and grieve with you. My dad, Mike Gasaway, always came home with the best stories from working with Del at Nissan. Dad really treasured their friendship over the years and I'm sure greeted him in heaven ready to talk football again! Love and comfort from Mike's family to yours! We will surely see them again!
