As previously reported, Michael Jones, better known as Virgil in WWE and Vincent in WCW, has passed away at the age of 61. Jones’ family has now launched a GoFundMe campaign to help pay for his funeral costs. Mark Charles III, who organized the campaign, wrote:
“On February 28, 2024, the world lost our favorite WWE bodyguard, Virgil, after a long and difficult health struggle. Unfortunately, Virgil passed without being covered by life insurance, and the Jones family is asking for financial help to put him to his final rest. The bill is due on March 11, 2024, so if you’d like to donate, Virgil’s family will be forever grateful.
Whether you were an 80s WWF kid at heart or you’re nWo 4 LIFE, whether you loved him best as Virgil, Vincent, or even Soul Train Jones, let’s send him off with the hero’s farewell he deserves.
This fundraiser is organized by Mark Charles III on behalf of Michael Jones’ sister, Toni Jones, and her family.“
