In memory of Eddie Guerrero (09 Oct 1967 – 13 Nov 2005)

Eddie Guerrero is one of the biggest stars in WWE's Smackdown! brand ... if not the biggest. He passed away to an apparent heart failure at the age of 38.

You can read the messages his fans left at his official website.

Eddie Guerrero was a 2nd generation superstar. His blend of interview skills and technical ability is unmatched.

He came clean with his personal struggle with drugs and alcohols. He was sober for 4 years before his untimely death. His struggles were well documented in the DVD the Eddie Guerrero story: Cheating Death and Stealing Life. (Here's a review.)

Eddie Guerrero is known to his fellow wrestlers as a main of great faith. Fellow Christian wrestler Shawn Michaels was quoted saying Eddie did something no one else could - he got them all together in prayer.

He is survived by his wife Vickie and daughters Shaul, 14, Sherilyn, 9, and Kaylie Marie, 3.

Eddie's death is captured by mainstream media like MSNBC and Yahoo! News. It was featured on the main Yahoo! page.

My condolences and prayers go to his family.
