Wendy Barlow’s son, Sebastian Kidder, who was also Ric Flair’s stepson, passed away at 24 years of age this past weekend after a suicide. TMZ reported the news yesterday.
Flair, who just recently separated from Barlow, issued a long statement on social media, saying that spent hours wondering what to say after he heard the news.
“I can only imagine what Wendy & Paul are going through having lost a son approximately the same age in 2013,” Flair wrote. “I know the pain of your loss will be with you the rest of your life. I still every day of my life think about Reid as you will continue to think about Sebastian.”
Flair said that he blamed himself for his son’s death after he made Reid his best friend rather than being a good parent, but Sebastian’s parents can’t blame themselves for his death.
“I’m so thankful for the time I had with Sebastian. I have so many great memories & bonding time with him as he grew up,” Flair continued. “He stood tall by his mother along with the whole family – Sophia, Paris, and Summer, while I was dying.”
Flair urged Wendy to stay strong and let nothing deter her from all her successful endeavors she has in place in the future.
