In Memory of My Father, Sid Eudy
Dear friends and family,
I am deeply saddened to share that my father, Sid Eudy, has passed away after battling cancer for several years. He was a man of strength, kindness, and love, and his presence will be greatly missed.
We appreciate your thoughts and prayers as we grieve this loss. Details for a memorial service will be shared soon. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely, Gunnar Eudy
Sid’s other son is Frank. Frank competed on seasons 14 and 18 of Big Brother USA.
In his 20-year career, Sid was one of the most agile and intimidating big men in the sport. Sid became WCW World Heavyweight Championship and WWF Champion twice.
His career really took off in the NWA when he was teamed with Danny Spivey to form the impressive Skyscrapers tag team. “Mean” Mark Callous (who would be known as The Undertaker in the WWE) would take his place in later years.
Sid was also a member of The Four Horsemen for a time but in 1991 her joined the WWE and would become a bodyguard for Shawn Michaels, a member of the Million Dollar Corporation and Sycho Sid when he betrayed Hulk Hogan.
