“He was so generous“: Ric Flair sends a touching tribute to his deceased stepson
“I spent hours wondering what to say. After learning of Sebastian’s passing, I can only imagine what Wendy and Paul are going through, having lost a son of around the same age myself in 2013“, began Ric Flair before addressing his ex-partner directly, from whom he separated last month, after 13 years of relationship and 6 years of marriage. “I know that the pain of this loss will stay with you for the rest of your life. Every day of my life I think of Reid, just as you will continue to think of Sebastian. Don’t feel guilty like I did for making Reid my best friend instead of being a good parent. Sometimes we are so close to our children that we forget that they need us in many different ways. I am so grateful for my time with Sebastian. I have so many good memories of the bonding moments spent with him during his childhood! He stayed strong alongside his mother and the whole family – Sophia, Paris and Summer – while I died. He was so generous to share his mother with me during this time“, added the wrestler, referring to his serious health problems in 2018. “And also when my son, Reid, died. Sebastian had multiple talents and was, in everyone’s eyes, a great success. This is how we will remember him. I’m so sorry! Wendy, please stay strong and don’t let anything discourage you from all the initiatives you have in place for the future. God bless you both! Rest in peace Sebastian“, we can read on the social network.
