A statement from the Satterley family was read by Renee
Paquette yesterday while at ringside during Dynamite.
The statement was written by Pac’s widow Natalie, his mother
Jillian, and father Stephen.
The full statement reads:
We’re completely devastated to have lost our beautiful Ben,
but the love and support we’ve received through every corner
of the globe has been helping us get through these awful
days.
Whilst he will always have a legacy as one of the greatest
wrestlers the UK has ever produced, we’ve been so glad to
see so many wonderful tributes to who Ben was as a person.
He exemplified what it meant to be a decent human being. An
honorable man with principals, who adored his family and his
sausage dog Wolfie. Ben loved Newcastle United, he loved
reggae and hip-hop, he loved nights out dancing with his
wife and friends and spending time with his parents, who now
must mourn the loss of their only child.
Ben had a long and illustrious career that took him all over
the world. In late 2018, he met Tony Khan, who changed his
life forever. Tony’s faith in Ben was never lost on him and
he was always committed to giving the best performance he
possibly could.
Ben was so happy and proud to be part of this AEW family and
to be in an encouraging, caring environment that he could
feel at ease in. He made some wonderful friends with his
time in the company. We could not be more thankful to
everyone at AEW in all of their help navigating this
tragedy, they’ve been truly phenomenal. Tony Khan is a great
man and this business is so lucky to have someone like him.
Thank you for lightening our load.
Thank you to all of Ben’s fans for their support over the
years, we send you our love and have moved to see so many
people say so many wonderful things about his impact on
their lives, whether great or small.
