Very sad news to report this morning that Bobby Eaton has passed away at the age of 62 as the news was posted by his sister Debbie early this morning on Facebook.
“I never wanted to have to post this ,but my Little Brother Beautiful Bobby Eaton passed away last night .When i find out all the details i will post them .Bobby was the kindest ,loving person you would ever meet . I loved him so much and going to miss him .Please say a prayer for my Neice Taryn she found him . And she just lost her Mom a little over a Month ago.”
Bobby was one of the most talented wrestlers their was, but more importantly than that he was absolutely one of the nicest guys you would ever meet. I first met Bobby back in the mid eighties when I was shooting ringside at the NWA shows at the Civic Center in Philadelphia and from that first meeting until the last time I saw him he always had a big hug and smile waiting to greet you.
Condolences to the Eaton/Dundee family as well as Jim, Stan & Dennis and all Bobby’s friends and fans around the world.

If you’ve studied pro wrestling with any true attention, you’ve studied Bobby Eaton. And understand just how special he was in the ring. Every time I encountered him outside of it, he was an even better person. #RIPBobbyEaton
