It is with a heavy heart that we mourn the tragic passing of Jamin Pugh, known to wrestling fans around the world as Jay Briscoe. Our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and his fans. https://t.co/5wB6HpVY0x
Apter mentioned how he had the opportunity to hang out with The Briscoes backstage at ROH. He also spoke about interacting with the two at Steve Corino's wedding. He said:
"I had the opportunity to hang out with him and his brother, of course, backstage at Ring of Honor quite a bit. On a personal end here, he was such a nice, sweet, fun loving guy. I remember being at Steve Corino's wedding many years ago and The Briscoes were there and I had such a wonderful time with both of them. It's such a tragedy that a young guy, who is such a devoted family man as well, has passed in an automobile accident."
In the aftermath of Jay Briscoe's passing away, his wife, Ashley Pugh, took to social media to provide a heartbreaking update by revealing that their daughter is set to undergo surgery following the accident.
