Havoc was one of the featured performers on the “Death Match” episode of Vice’s The Wrestlers show. In the episode, they focused on Havoc’s career as a deathmatch wrestler before his retirement. They also included footage from his final match and the celebration held in the locker room afterward.

Tragically, his wife Brianne also passed away this April.

A number of WWE and AEW stars have posted tributes to Havoc on Twitter.

I’m so sorry for Danny Havoc’s family, friends and fans.

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. ❤️

He put 100% of himself into everything he created. That's why on whatever platform he was on he shined. I could honestly go on and on, but I won't here. I want to spread some joy here because whenever I talk about my friend Danny Havoc, Grant, that's what it was.

Danny Havoc always extended kindness to me and welcomed me into the CZW family. My heart hurts for his friends and loved ones.

Rest easy, friend. ?
