WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley recently shared a heartbreaking personal update on his official Instagram account. In his emotional post, Foley revealed the passing of his mother after a long battle with dementia. He honored his mother’s strength and independence, highlighting how she inspired him to chase his dreams and believe in himself.
Foley’s touching tribute to his mother read, “It is with a heavy heart I report the passing of my mother, following a lengthy battle with dementia. She was a strong, fiercely independent woman who beat polio as a child, became the first member of her family to attend college, and instilled in me a belief that I was capable of doing anything. She made me feel no dream was too big to dream, and nurtured my imagination and my love for reading, writing and storytelling. Simply put, without Mrs. Foley and the gift she gave me, no one would know Mrs. Foley’s baby boy. I love you Mom.”
Following Foley’s heartfelt post, numerous pro wrestling personalities, including R-Truth, Torrie Wilson, Batista, Matt Hardy, Alicia Taylor, Matt Cardona, and even Foley’s daughter, Noelle, expressed their condolences and support in the comments section of his post. The wrestling community rallied around Foley during this difficult time, showing their love and respect for the legendary performer and his family.
