Jay Briscoe’s Wife & Friends Condemn Attacks On Other Driver & Family

AEW

Two people passed away in the car accident that would claim Jay Briscoe’s life on 17 January 2023, leaving two families mourning their loss.

The driver of the other car was named as Lillyanne Ternahan, who also lost her life in the tragic accident.

Both families have set up fundraisers to support their respective families, though the reception has been reportedly markedly different.

The organiser of the Pugh family donation page, Josh Wharton, recently addressed concerning comments on Facebook:

“It’s been a tough week for our community, but also has been heartwarming to see the outpouring of love towards the Pugh family during this tragedy. Once again-Jamin touched so many lives across the world and that has been evident by the daily tributes, comments and love we’ve all witnessed. The girls are still progressing, as God continues to hear all of our prayers.

“Unfortunately this has not been the case for the other family, as there have been numerous rumors and information out there-which has led to attacking/degrading comments on social media that the family has seen. Her children will read these at some point.

“Jamin, Ashley, the Pugh family, myself and K.c. do not stand for this. In a time of tragedy, pointing fingers does not reverse what has been done.

“The driver of the other vehicle has 2 young children, and we all should be showing the same love and compassion for them as we have done for the Pugh’s. Be reminded that their world has also been turned upside down undeservingly, and there is a huge hole left in their family.

“I am sincerely asking that everyone stop with the negative comments and feelings towards them. Let me remind you all that none of us, and I know myself better than anyone-have things we are not proud of. We all struggle with something.

“To judge an entire life by the outcome of this tragedy is not who we are. Only love can conquer hate. Instead of expressing harsh feelings, pray for them.”

Service details for Jamin Pugh were earlier reported.

Tony Khan recently spoke about the AEW Dynamite match between Mark Briscoe and Jay Lethal, calling it a “great match to honor a great man” on what would have been Jay Briscoe’s 39th birthday.
