Ric Flair Grapples With Grief On The Anniversary Of His Step-Son’s Death

Ric Flair Grapples With Grief On The Anniversary Of His Step-Son’s Death

In truly heartbreaking news, one year ago, it was reported that Sebastian Kidder, the son of Wendy Barlow and stepson of Ric Flair, had taken his own life at the tender age of 24. Details surrounding his passing remain scarce, with both family and authorities offering no further insights.  And while Flair wasn’t related by blood, it’s known that Flair cherished Sebastian like his own, and to demonstrate this, he has acknowledged the painful anniversary on X with a poignant tribute.

Flair sadly knows all too well how it feels to lose a child, as his youngest son, Reid, passed away in 2013 at the age of just 25 from an accidental drug overdose, having combined heroin and prescription drugs. At the time, Reid was trying to establish himself as a pro wrestler and had been working for All Japan, mainly in tag team matches. Yet while his legendary father opened the door for him to sign with WWE, Reid never got to fulfil his potential, with failed drug tests serving as a stark but unheeded warning of what was to come.
