If we're talking musical tributes, this and the common man boogie are apparently running hot among the wrestlers if twitter is to be believed. Inspired his Midnight Rider gimmick.

Sweet dreams Dusty. Honestly, I remember the guy from when I was kid (parents loved him) but I don't have any matches in my mind that stick out. Of course they exist, I just don't seem to recall them very well. :boohoo:

And maybe this is morbid, but I am interested to hear what the cause was. Saw unconfirmed kidney issues earlier in the thread. Poor guy.

Acute kidney failure seems to be the reason indeed.

Found this on reddit. Goldust has spoken.

Yesterday my father passed away with his four children, my daughter and his wife of 38 yrs. he was our hero and the greatest father in the world. He is the reason why I am who I am today. He taught me so so many lessons in life. He had 1 thing that he wanted to be and that was he wanted to be forever young. Now he is. Now he is dancing with angels in heaven. He was my mentor, my hero and a dad that I strive to be like. I love you dad. Thank you for all the overwhelmingly amount of love and support. He would have been on cloud 9 with this. Thank you all.
