Summary

We lost Kevin Castle. He passed away Monday afternoon (4/7/25). With very heavy and broken hearts, myself (Don Tony), Kev's brother Jon Draper, and Mish (Wrestling Soup) try to make sense of what happened. In addition to health issues, we also discuss another major ailment that Kev Castle was battling. Kev always looked out for others and many times put others before himself. We truly think in his passing, he can help others in ways too many online refuse to discuss. RIP Kev. Note: This episode is posted only hours after Kev's passing. We are too emotionally drained to start changing links and schedules right now. A true Tribute To Kevin Castle show will stream live in a few weeks. There's many in the wrestling and music community that want to be a part of it. For now, we mourn and remember how much Kev brought joy to our lives.
