Just a month earlier, Danny Havoc’s wife had passed away on April 4 due to heart failure. Havoc’s death news comes days after the demise of former WWE superstar Shad Gaspard.
The passing away of the Combat Zone Wrestler has left the wrestling community in a state of shock and grief. WWE superstars Kevin Owens and Drew Gulak, as well as Impact Wrestling star Sami Callihan remembered the entertainer.
Tributes for the Iowa native are pouring in on social media as fans and several wrestling professionals remember him.
Absolutely heartbroken.

Reach out to your loved one. Life is so short.
Love you Grant.

I didn’t know him well but all I’ve ever heard about him throughout the years painted him as a passionate, kind-hearted guy.
The pro wrestling community has lost yet another good one...
Take care of each other, guys. ❤️
I shared a locker room a few times w/ Danny Havoc but didn’t know him on a personal level. Reading all the wonderful stories/memories from his friends makes it clear that the we lost someone special.
