New Jack's Wife Issues Comment On His Passing

Jennifer Young, the wife of the recently deceased New Jack, has taken to social media to thank friends and family for their support.

ECW original New Jack passed away on Friday after a reported heart attack. He was just 58-years-old.

Young has taken to Facebook to thank his fans for their outpouring of love for New Jack and his work.

She wrote: "For all the outpouring of love from family, friends, and fans - I’m totally blown away. Jerome was not only my husband, he was my best friend and I’m completely gutted. He loved a lot of you very much, and you’ll never know how much I appreciate the love.

"I can’t really respond too much right now because I’m completely broken. I’m trying to help kids through this but I don’t even know what I’m doing.

"But for those of yall ordering books today and seriously asking if they’re autographed, please request a refund and as my daughter so eloquently put it, go stick your face in a lawnmower."

A GoFundMe has also been set up to help Jennifer Young and her family cover the funeral expense and other costs that arise.
