In the most recent edition of her Mone Mag, AEW's Mercedes Mone announced the passing of her younger sister Alexis Varnado, writing,
"IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY SISTER, ALEXIS VARNADO
September was an incredibly hard month for me because I lost my younger sister, Alexis.
It’s still difficult to talk about. She was so young, and knowing she left behind two young children makes my heart hurt even more.
One memory I keep thinking about is when we went to WrestleMania together in Atlanta when we were younger.
Wrestling has been such a huge part of my life, and I love that I have that memory with my sister from before so many of my own dreams came true.
I also think about 2020, when she helped me with my mom. I will always be grateful for that.
I wish Alexis had more time. I wish her children had more time with their mom. I’m still trying to understand how somebody so young can be gone.
I love you, Alexis."
