Grandpa always got a kick out of the fact that I loved wrestling so much and got a kick out of this being my dream job. I’m so fortunate that he was able to see me live when NXT came to Riverside right before the pandemic.

The last time I saw my grandpa, he met Quill. Quill smiled the biggest of smiles at great grandpa as though he knew this was a special moment. Or maybe he just knew great Grandpa’s pretty amazing.

I could go on and on about my admiration, appreciation, and love for my grandpa. I’m so grateful for knowing him and that the world chose me to be one of his grandkids. Rest peacefully, Grandpa Dawson.“
