Don West was a force of nature. He threw his whole being into everything he did. We've been able to talk on the phone with D-Dub a few times in recent months, and even as he was battling devastating illness, that personality shone through. God speed DW. RIP. pic.twitter.com/LE3WAtLyPr

RIP Don West. Don was a caring & colorful human being. One of a kind. He made “work” in TNA fun traveling in the “mini van of love”. Nothing but smiles thinking about him right now. Godspeed Don.

So very sorry to hear that my old friend Don West has passed away. In the early days of TNA, he and his wonderful wife Terri were gracious enough to let me stay at their home in Nashville. Such a kind person. So many laughs. My thoughts are with his family today. #RIPDonWest
