Roderick Strong Planning To Raise Money For PTSD Support In Honor Of Deceased Friend

Source: Pro Wrestling Sheet

ROH wrestler Roderick Strong tells Pro Wrestling Sheet he plans to honor the memory of his recently deceased friend, who sadly took his own life Sunday, by raising money for PTSD support.

Strong’s longtime friend/former roommate Dustin Yates — a big wrestling fan who was also named after Dusty Rhodes — struggled with PTSD following his time in the service, and Roddy says he’s hoping to help others battling with the disorder before it’s too late.

The triple crown champion says he’ll either be launching his own foundation soon or participating in a yearly charity in conjunction with an already established PTSD organization.

For now, any donations can be made to the GoFundMe page setup by Yates’ friends.

Roddy adds, “He was a great soldier but an even better friend. His love for his family matched the love for his country. He served with such pride. He will be greatly missed.”
