I didn’t know Andy’s condition last night. I held off from texting assuming he was getting bombarded. Learned of his passing, and I am just sick with devastation. We bonded years ago over music, and became close through wrestling. A better dude, you won’t find. Godspeed my friend pic.twitter.com/QM7wshp7KR

Andy Williams was so smart and cultured that it made both his chosen careers all the more insane. He was the opposite of how he looked, we were lucky to know him. pic.twitter.com/mbC3bd3l9N

RIP Andy Williams. I wasn’t lucky enough to know him well, but he was always super cool to me when we saw each other. I was mad at him when he shaved his head because his Butcher figure had long hair and became inaccurate.

Ain't no way man… 💔💔💔
We were literally just chatting about life and wrestling hours ago! #ripButcher 🙏
(My condolences to the family)

For a man his size, with all the tattoos, you’d assume he’d be this monster. But in reality, Andy Williams was always such a kind person to Tay and me anytime we saw him.

Very sad day. RIP brother 💔

My heart is broken this morning hearing about my friend Andy.

One of the sweetest people you’d ever meet. There’s something that always felt like back home when talking to him. Maybe it was the WNY accent but I think it was just who he was. Any time we’d end up sitting with each…
