Terry Funk in Assisted Living Facility for Health Issues

On an episode of Don Muraco’s podcast this weekend, Muraco said that 77 year old wrestling legend Terry Funk is currently living in an assisted living facility for people dealing with dementia.

PWInsider confirmed the news, saying that Funk “has been dealing with issues for some time that have gotten progressively worse over the last year in the wake of the passing of his wife Vicki.”

Funk’s Twitter account then posted this update today, saying that he’s “currently receiving residential care for his multiple health issues, which do affect his mind as well as the rest of his body.”

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!
