A Priest gave my wife Jan her last rites tonight. My little Angel is gone.

Jan Ross was hit by a car on Monday night while riding a scooter close to their home. She suffered a catastrophic brain injury including multiple skull fractures.

Earlier today, Jim Ross wrote on his blog:

"We were a team in WWE. I was a “coach” and Jan was the best coach’s wife ever. She loved the talents and their spouses, invited them into our home, cooked for them and even did some of their laundry that they would bring over. Some of the Attitude Era’s biggest stars were made to feel welcome in our home over the years thanks to my wife.

She helped me battle thru multiple bouts of depression as a result of the multiple, Bells palsy attacks, my dependence on Ambian, and nursed me to back health after serious, colon surgery that threatened my life and she never complained one time.

This woman loves me more than I’ll ever deserve and simply knowing her has enriched my life to levels that I can never repay."

Our deepest condolences to Jim Ross and his family.


@JRsBBQ Rest In Peace Jan

Jan Ross was one of the kindest people I've ever known. The world is a sadder place without her. ?
