The wrestling world mourns over the loss of former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Jax Dane.
The National Wrestling Alliance announced this evening in a press release that Jeremy Laymon, better known as Jax Dane has passed away.
Dane passed away on Christmas day due to complications from a heart attack that he suffered in November. Dane was 48 years old.
NWA President Billy Corgan issued the following statement regarding Dane’s passing:
“Jax Dane loved professional wrestling deeply and he certainly loved those he fought and rode with,” Billy Corgan said. “I know I speak for all of the National Wrestling Alliance when saying Jax will be missed. We will do our best to honor him and make his family proud as we carry forth.
“There are those men and women who carry the legacy of a champion because they have risen to such heights. And then there are those that earn the respect of a champion simply because of who they are. To this I can say, simply and personally, that Jax was such a man, and will forever be in our hearts.”
Dane last competed for the NWA in early October, scoring a win over Zyon via submission.
