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

Jan was often with Jim during his 20-year run with WWE, and she was a fixture in the lives of many pro wrestlers. Jim described her as the ultimate coach's wife in a blog before her passing.
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.
Several in the pro wrestling industry have already started to send their condolences.
#JanRoss was my definition of a "cool chick". Always fun to chat with about music & Ill never forget her smile. My prayers to her & @JRsBBQ

#JanRoss was ALWAYS very nice to me and Devon. Met her at WWF NY in 2000. My deepest condolences to @JRsBBQ and his family. GOD BLESS. 🙏

Ross was involved in an auto accident late on Monday event, where she was hit by a car and sent her flying from her Vespa scooter. Ross was not wearing a helmet, and she suffered multiple skull fractures from the accident.
We send our thoughts, prayers, and best wishes out to the Ross family in this difficult time.
