AEW star Maya World is currently facing unimaginable grief after the sudden passing of her younger brother, Jatwane Wilson, on June 7, 2026. Jatwane, who was just one year her junior, played a pivotal role in her journey by introducing her to the sport she now calls home. Therefore, a GoFundMe has been started seeking $4,000 to cover funeral expenses and provide a dignified farewell for her beloved brother. With over $1,000 already raised by 21 generous donors, she has vowed to dedicate every future milestone in her career to his lasting memory.
“Hello, my name is Dashundra Wilson, i’m the older sister of Jatwane Wilson. In the early morning of June 7th, 2026, my family life had forever been altered unknowingly. Around 3am our grandmother was notified by a state trooper that my brothers life was tragically ended. As this comes unexpectedly, we’re starting a fund for funeral arrangements to give my brother the proper burial he deserves, being so loved by so many. Absolutely ANYTHING helps, and will go towards easing the unexpected expenses my family is now facing. Thank you in advance.” – Dashundra Wilson
