I came to learn only today of Brian's passing as I had the privilege of meeting Brian and Jerry on my flight to Florida to give a motivational keynote speech at a Parkinson's medical conference as I represent the USA for table tennis on the international level in spite of having Parkinson's. They both treated me like family and My prayers go to Jerry and the rest of his family.

So much talent, a performer before his time. He is remembered and missed, not so much the matches as much as his personality, his spirit and enthusiasm. Pro Wrestling was blessed, and so -all the fans of the USWA.

Words fail me. I could never adequately express the joy, excitement, & fun that Jerry, Brian, Kevin & many others have given me. Nor could I describe how my heart aches for yall. I have faced having to turn machines off, also. It is devastating! Kevin...stay strong, your life will make Brian proud!

Brian was my favorite wrestler of all time. I sent off for his autograph when I was 13 and he signed it and mailed it back. He passed away on 32nd my birthday and I'm extremely upset about it but hope he is at peace. Too Cool forever.

Sorry for your loss Jerry and family . I was Brian's # 1 fan . I made him a shirt because he always liked the one I had with his picture on it . He always knew who I was when he seen me if it was months, or years. He would dance ,laugh , and always put a smile on my face. Last time I seen Brian was a year ago and I gave him his shirt . We danced and I got in the ring with him and that will always be with me and he will always be in my heart and he will be truly missed from me and everyone else who thought the world of him . He put the best shows on for his fans . Wish I could have been there. My heart is broken to know he is gone and he was a sweet person and he put 100 percent in his shows and wrestling career.

My sincere condolences and prayers to the family and friends of Brian Christopher Lawler. 17 years ago my son was a patient at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. He loved watching wrestling while recovering from his treatments. Then he was granted a wish from Make-A-Wish and he wished to meet a wrestler. He had no idea what wrestler would come to his party at El Porton, but he was thrilled when Grandmaster Sexay showed up! It took a very special and good man to take time out on a weekend and a busy life to make a young boy smile. Brian Christopher gave my son and all of us a day to remember during a very difficult time in our lives. My son still has fond memories of that day many years later. Perhaps now Brian Christopher is in heaven making young boy angels smile just as he did my son! We will never forget him, and may he rest in peace.
Julia Woodend
Jerry, I am saddened but at peace. Love you, Lauryn, Kay, Kevin and all else I didn't name. The Lawler family remains in my prayers.

I remember back in 2000 when you were wrestling at the pyramid and I had talked to you for a brief moment when you got off the bus . We were both strangers but I was a cop doing the detail there for overtime. Anyway , we had a conversation about how much we each made . I said my pay was low for a cop and you said I dont make that much either for being a professional wrestler. The one thing that made you so amazing awesome guy was you didnt care how much you made , you didnt do for money, you did it cause you loved what you did. I said the same to you Brian. One thing I Ill keep between me and you Brian , I will not tell anyone how much we made . We shared our income between each other as complete strangers. God Bless you man and Ill see you in heaven one day but not today my friend. God Speed....
