Former TNA & ROH Wrestler Jimmy Rave Has Died Aged 39

Life had been incredibly hard for independent wrestler Jimmy Rave over the past few years. Less than a year after having his left arm amputated, he also had to have both legs amputated following an MRSA infection this past June. He had done his best to cope but owed over $100,000 in medical bills, and several people in the wrestling world had tried to help him, with Mick Foley raising over $20,000 through an auction.

Tragically though, it has been announced by Bill Behrens, who is an agent to countless wrestlers, that the former TNA and ROH talent has passed away aged just 39. As of writing, no cause of death has been revealed, and he is survived by his ex-wife and two children Kailah and James II.

Rave started out in the wrestling business in 1999, and he is best known for his multiple runs in Ring of Honor, where he shared a ring with Bryan Danielson, Samoa Joe, Nigel McGuinness, AJ Styles, and CM Punk. He was also part of The Rock’ n Rave Infection in TNA along with Lance Archer and Christy Hemme. Unfortunately, his career was severely hampered by drug addiction, which resulted in him attending rehab. He would, though, rebuild his life and get a job at the Bartow County Peer Support, Wellness, and Respite Center in Georgia before sadly having to deal with these amputations.
