R-Truth is mourning the death of his father, Aaron Killings, and the WWE star shared the heartbreaking news with a message about losing the man he considered his hero.
Truth took to Twitter to reveal that his father had passed away on November 8. The longtime WWE star shared several photos of himself with his dad and opened up about how difficult the loss has been. Truth made it clear that losing a parent hits differently. He also had a message for everyone reading his post, urging people to tell their loved ones how much they mean to them before they no longer have that chance.
“I loss my dad yesterday😞 losing a loved one is painful, losing a parent is a different kind of hurt😔 “ He was my hero “ Please take a minute and tell your parents or loved one how much you love them. I love you Aaron Killings ❤️🙏🏽”
Truth didn’t reveal his father’s cause of death or share any details about what happened. His post focused entirely on the loss and the love he had for Aaron. The news comes after Truth previously discussed the sacrifices that came with his wrestling career, including missing birthdays, graduations, and other major family moments while working on the road. He has also spoken about his son’s reaction to those sacrifices and how much that conversation meant to him.
Truth has spent decades making people laugh inside and outside the WWE ring, but his latest social media post showed a much more personal side of the man behind the character. His father was clearly someone he looked up to, and losing him has left a painful void.
There’s no word on whether the family plans to hold a public memorial or if Truth will take time away from WWE following his father’s passing. For now, he’s asking people to do one simple thing: tell the people they love how much they mean to them.
Our condolences go out to Ron Killings and his family following the loss of Aaron Killings.
