Jay Briscoe’s funeral will be broadcast live on YouTube

The wrestling world is still saddened by the untimely death of former Ring of Honor World Champion Jay Briscoe, whose real name was Jamin Pugh. Both WWE and AEW have paid him many tributes. His family says goodbye for the last time today.

For family, friends and fans who are unable to attend in person, the funeral service will be streamed on the Laurel School District YouTube page and begins at 1 p.m. ET. There is no information on when the service will take place or who will be there.

Wrestling Observer Radio says AEW president Tony Khan hired a private jet so Briscoe’s friends and family could come. Briscoe died in Laurel, Delaware, when the truck he was driving hit another truck. The driver of the other truck was also killed in the accident.

It’s already been covered in our coverage of 38-year-old wrestler Jay Briscoe dies in a car crash if you’re curious about the circumstances surrounding Jay Briscoe’s death.

Briscoe’s two daughters, Gracie, 12, and Jayleigh, 9, were also in the truck, but they were both alive. They are currently undergoing a lot of physical therapy, but reports say their progress has been very good so far.

Gracie is said to have gotten stronger over the weekend and Jayleigh is no longer fed through a nasogastric tube, which was a great relief to the 9-year-old.

Many Twitter users also shared their condolences and memories of the late wrestler:

Watching #JayBriscoe funeral service on YouTube during the early hours of the morning has not been good for Mr. Poe’s mental state.

I never knew the Briscoes were followers of Christ.

Rest in peace, Jay Briscoe! 🙏🏾

WWE paid tribute to Jay Briscoe by notifying everyone of his death on an episode of “WWE NXT”. This was a heartwarming display of unity, as Briscoe never wrestled for the company.

Briscoe is part of All Elite Wrestling because Tony Khan bought Ring of Honor. The company paid tribute to Briscoe last Wednesday, a week after holding an ROH tribute show, by making his brother Mark’s AEW television debut.

Mark defeated Jay Lethal in an emotional main event that the entire AEW roster watched. Wrestling Inc. sends his condolences to Jay Pugh’s family as they remember and bury him.
