Gentry passes away

 

by Dave Meltzer

 

Doug Gentry, one of the people behind the Ring of Honor promotion when it started along with Rob Feinstein and Gabe Sapolsky, passed away this morning at the age of 34.

 

Gentry was suffering from heart disease and was in need of a replacement heart valve. He suffered a severe heart attack at about 3 a.m. last night that proved to be fatal.

 

Gentry was the on-paper owner of ROH and RF Video after the Feinstein scandal. When Cary Silkin purchased the complete ownership of ROH from Gentry, who Feinstein transfered his stock to, he was no longer part of the company.

 

Gentry and Feinstein remained working together with RF Video untli his death.

Definitely one of the nicest guys in the biz. I talked to him on several occasions, and he treats every like gold. Rest in Peace Doug...
