Ever since news broke that Ring of Honor legend Jay Briscoe died at the age of 38 earlier today, his contemporaries have been mourning the loss and remembering the man he was on social media. The common theme is that he was a special person who cared deeply for his family.
Just a few words from a few folks within the industry:
Jay Briscoe was a wonderful human being and he loved his family so much. So much. He was so proud of them. Rest with God my friend.

I’m deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Jay Briscoe. He was always the kindest to me during my time in ROH. My heart goes out to the entire family. I don’t have the right words but I just wanted to say that he was such a good man.

Jay Briscoe was one of the toughest men I ever had the privilege of sharing a ring with, as well as being a tremendous brother, father, and man. I’m so happy to have had the opportunity to know him and wrestle him as often as I did. Rest in Peace, Jay, I love you.#RIPJayBriscoe pic.twitter.com/6ZxNfgPcmw

There’s no right words to say to make this less tragic. Everyone loves and respects Jay Briscoe as a wrestler and a person. We’ll miss you. #demboyz

I cannot even begin to process this right now. I loved everything about my friend Jay Briscoe. His passion. His drive. His presence. Our wars in the ring. Most importantly, how much he loved his family. I am literally sick to my stomach… pic.twitter.com/XNK5ZHlqxu

Jay Briscoe showed me respect and love when everyone told me he wouldn’t. If you knew Jay, you knew he would uplift everyone in that locker room regardless of whatever world they came to wrestling from. The best. Rest easy, brother.

One of the nicest, funniest, genuine and talented men I’ve ever met.
All we ever talked about was our families.
RIP Jay Briscoe

Heartbroken. I can’t believe this.
Jay Briscoe was the best, I don’t know what else to say. Love & support to Mark and the family.
A lot of brothers & sisters are hurting tonight.

I am shocked & devastated to hear of the passing of Jay Briscoe. I can’t believe it. I’ve known him & Mark since the beginning of ROH. My heart goes out to his entire family. A son, a brother, a father, & a friend to so many. There are no words. Rest in Paradise. ♥️ pic.twitter.com/GvUgyG5SDR
