Independent wrestler Rex Bacchus has passed away at age 35.

Some sad news to report today as independent wrestler Rex Bacchus of Florida has passed away at age 35 after a long battle with cancer.

Bacchus got his start in professional wrestling with the Team Vision Dojo, who sent us along the following today on his passing:

Independent wrestler Rex Bacchus has unfortunately lost his fight with cancer this morning around 5/6am. Rex started training training at the Team Vision Dojo at the beginning of 2015 and took right to the sport in all aspects. He was one of the hardest workers inside and outside of the ring. Rex has been battling with cancer for sometime now. Things looked good when it went into remission but the cancer came back. He had been fighting and multiple benefit shows we’re going on to help him. Last month, Rex wrestled last match in the main event of a benefit event and beat “Cancer” in a Death Match. Unfortunately, he lost the last fight but was in a comfortable place in his home with loved ones.

Rex debuted on April 25, 2015 for I Believe in Wrestling at the Central Florida Fairgrounds during the Earthday Birthday event first losing a #1 contender’s battle royal with Jody Kristofferson as the winner and later a rookie battle royal won by his Dreamboats tag team partner Ace Andrews. Rex wrestled more than 200 matches, won multiple championships, and recently appeared wrestling on MLW. You will be missed greatly and always very much loved.

It's always incredibly hard to lose someone, especially at a young age & when it's an incredible person. You were always there & a huge part of the team. Rex worked extremely hard & was there for everyone. You will be missed greatly, loved & always remembered. #RIPRex pic.twitter.com/DdqUWfl8O6
