Jeff Cannonball Passes Away At Age 39

Indies wrestler Jeff Cannonball, real name Jeff Guerriero passed away on Thursday at the age of 39.

Prior to his passing, Guerriero had been battling ALS since his public announcement of his diagnosis in May of 2025.

Gurriero’s passing was first announced by his wife Terra Calaway on Twitter.

“Wednesday night into Thursday morning, I put on Dirty Work on the tv to help lighten the mood of a rough day. Norm Macdonald and Artie Lange in a Bob Saget directed comedy movie. Jeff’s favorite movie with two of the three comedians he thought were the funniest men on the planet- Norm and Don Rickles. All it was missing was Tom Green. When Norm passed away in 2021, Jeff said that the funniest man on the planet was gone. He was wrong.

Less than an hour after the end of the movie on Thursday, October 8th, 2026 at 2am is the day the funniest man on the planet has gone.

Jeff Guerriero, the funniest, wittiest, most charismatic man I have ever had the privilege of knowing let alone get to marry, spend 10 years with, and create a little clone of in our son Milo, has passed away after his battle with ALS. His impact on his friends, his community, and the world is endless. Jeff Guerriero and Jeff Cannonball will live forever.

I will mourn him for every single day of my life while honoring him by raising a son he would be so incredibly proud of. My soul and heart are broken beyond repair.

I love you Jeff. 10 years was not enough, but they are years I will cherish forever. In every timeline, in every universe, in every life, I would do all of this over again as long as it meant I got that time with you.”

It’s knowing that this can’t go on forever, Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone, Maybe we’ll get forty years together, But one day I’ll be gone, Or one day you’ll be gone. – "If We Were Vampires" by Jason Isbell https://t.co/kPvWyqiYUe
