Shad Gaspard

Shad Gaspard moves me more than almost anyone in this batch. A 6-foot-6 powerhouse from Brooklyn who worked as a pro wrestler, actor, basketball player, and bodyguard, he was a true physical entertainer, and his WWE run under his own name had real charisma. But what I will always carry with me is how his story ended in 2020, giving his own life to save his son in the ocean. Inside the ring and out, he spent himself protecting others. I salute him.
