AEW VP Jeff Jones posted the following remembrance of Jay Briscoe on his Instagram:

"I have been trying to figure out the right words to describe my friend Jamin Pugh, but there is not a whole lot that can be said about Jamin that hasn’t already been said.

•Great dad, husband, brother, uncle and son.
•The kind of friend we all need in our lives.
•Real
•One of the best pro wrestlers to ever step foot in the ring.
•As Excalibur put it on Dynamite, "Whether You Realize It Or Not, Jay Briscoe Had An Influence On What You Love About Professional Wrestling."

Jay was also just the best, the guy you wanted to be around because you know he was gonna say or do something that would have you laughing yourself to tears.

Whether it was the countless van rides, flights, and missed flights too. Ashley was always a huge fan of those, and would often say “you better call his mother, because he’s sleeping there tonight” ????

•“She ought be sleepin’”
•“We’re way past that now”
•“Well, sheeeit, I don't have a license. Chick, quick give me yours”
•“WHAT… you ain’t never seen a PlayStation”
•Everyone’s favorite “Lots of sophisticated people on here and I’M ONE OF THEM”

Those are just some of the classic quotes from stories that we’ll be reminding each other of for years.

If there is one positive out of this tragedy, it’s that his family is feeling the love and support from their neighbors in Laurel, fans from around the world and co-workers, because we all love Jay and will miss him dearly.

Ashley, Gannon, Gracie and JJ: I am so sorry you are going through this, but you’re not alone. Your family was big before, but now it’s a whole lot bigger.

Gracie and JJ: Your injuries are only temporary, because toughness and resiliency is in your DNA. Your dad was tough and your mom is one of the strongest people I know.

Chicken: You’re the man. You’re carrying the weight for not just the family but everyone else too.

There will never be another Jamin Pugh, and I hope to see you again one day my friend."
