Former WWF, WCW and Global Wrestling Federation star Del Wilkes, known the best to fans as the masked Patriot, passed away today following a heart attack.  Wilkes' mother announced the news this afternoon.  Wilkes was only 59 at the time of his passing.

Everyone at PWInsider.com sends out deepest condolences to the Wilkes family as well as his friends and fans.

This is a breaking story and will be updated with a career retrospective and more when possible as I am traveling today.
