Fans of professional wrestling were left heartbroken this past week to learn that Sidney "Sid Vicious" Eudy had passed away.

Also known as "Sycho Sid" and "Sid Justice," the legendary wrestler's cause of death has been attributed to cancer.  

Son remembers father as "a man of strength, kindness, and love"

According to Breitbart, the athlete's death was made public via a social media post put up on Monday by his son, Gunnar Eudy.

"I am deeply saddened to share that my father, Sid Eudy, has passed away after battling cancer for several years," the younger Eudy wrote.

He went on to characterize his father as being "a man of strength, kindness, and love" whose "presence will be greatly missed."

Gunnar Eudy went on to tell fans he appreciates their "thoughts and prayers as we grieve this loss" while adding that details regarding a memorial service "will be shared soon."

Another social media post from the following day provided more insight into Sid Eudy's healthy problems, explaining that he "was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in 2016 and atrial fibrillation (better known as AFIB) around the same time."

"In April 2021, he was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which was linked to Roundup weed killer," it continued.

"Although he never told anyone about his fight against cancer, Sid lived his life to the fullest, attending the gym, boxing classes, making appearances for his fans, and of course t-ball games for the kids," the post declared.

"He passed away peacefully in his bed, leaving behind a legacy of strength and determination," Gunnar Eudy wrote as he drew to a close. "I've never met anyone with a fraction of the strength as my father. He truly was one of a kind."

His official biography hailed Eudy as being among "the most brutal Superstars to ever terrorize WWE" with "an intensity that few could ever hope to contain."

"He remains a larger-than-life Superstar to all who saw him compete, with few, if any, looking for a rematch against the man who strived more than anyone to become the 'Master and Ruler of the World,'" he added.
