You see them out there just stomping somebody and that's my dad, you know, you want to be just like your dad.

Every one of the Von Errik boys wanted to be just like dad.

You wore the family name with pride.

Boldly you went forward.

Did the things a lesser man might not have ever done a tornado from the Texas Plains

You came and changed our lives.

Nothing could separate them until death came along. Topping our news another tragedy for the Von Errik family,

professional wrestler Mike Von Errik is dead,

the apparent victim of suicide.

Not been seen since Saturday and reportedly was depressed about being arrested the night before

on charges of driving while intoxicated and drug possession.

He was saying to people then that he wanted out of wrestling but that he felt he had to stay in it and that he didn't like doing it at all.

And it ceased me every time you'd look in his face when he'd go into a match, you could tell he didn't like being there. Heaven needed a champion.

That's why he took you. Heaven needed a change. But God knows we need you too.

Heaven needed a champion.

That's why he took you.

Heaven we did a champion.

But God knows we need you to.

Mike was in constant pain, but wanted so much

for everyone to be proud of him.

Adding to the suicide evidence is a note found in Von Eric's car

which was parked about a thousand yards from this field where the body was found.
