The official Twitter account for Terry Funk has confirmed what Don Muraco said on his podcast. As noted by Muraco, Funk is in an assisted living facility because he is suffering from dementia.
Here is the message posted on Funk’s Twitter account this afternoon:
“Yes, Mr. Funk is currently receiving residential care for his multiple health issues, which do affect his mind as well as the rest of his body. As you can imagine, some days are better than others. He & his family appreciate all of your kind words!
FOREVER!”
The news of Funk’s declining health is depressing for the millions of fans that adore him. We wish nothing but the best for one of the all-time greats and one of the nicest guys ever in the professional wrestling business.
