Lexis King has shared devastating news with fans — his brother Jesse Morgan has passed away.

The NXT star took to social media to break the news and delivered an emotional, detailed tribute to the man he described as a “badass” who fought through trauma and loved his country deeply.

In his post, King laid out Jesse’s personality and passions, explaining how they had reconnected in recent months through gaming and regular conversations, even as Jesse continued his studies at the University of Cincinnati. King also revealed the toll Jesse’s military service in Afghanistan took on him, saying that his brother carried the weight of traumatic experiences from his time overseas.

King didn’t hold back in his message, sharing Jesse’s final Facebook post and then expressing his own heartbreak at losing his brother. He posted the full tribute below:

“I lost my brother today. He was a badass, highly intelligent, witty and charismatic dude who grew up in the 90s. He loved video games, Warhammer, R.A. Salvatore, among many other cool bro stuff. Recently we had been on Discord playing StarCraft 2 co-op together and he was enrolled in classes at the University of Cincinnati. He was a veteran who suffered from issues after surviving some traumatic events while serving in Afghanistan. He loved his country, his last Facebook post was this: ‘Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.’ —Franklin D. Roosevelt Some words to live by… The battle with your demons is now over brother. Rest in Peace Jesse Morgan 🙏”

The post highlights not only Jesse’s interests and achievements, but also the difficult struggles he endured as a veteran. King’s heartfelt words serve as both a tribute and a reminder of the importance of checking in on loved ones and appreciating the time we have with them.

Our thoughts are with Lexis King and his family as they mourn this loss.
