On X, Mick Foley announced the news of Funk’s passing.
“Terry Funk is gone. I just talked to Terry’s daughter, Brandee, who gave me the
awful news. He was my mentor, my idol, one of the closest friends. He was the
greatest wrestler I ever saw.If you get the chance, look up a Terry Funk match or a Terry Funk promo, and give
thanks that this incredible man gave so much, for so long, to so many. There will
never be another like him. May God bless Terry, his friends, family and all who
loved him. RIP my dear friend – it was an honor to know you. #RIPTerryFunk”
