Brother of WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, Rod McMahon III passed away at the age of 77. It’s been said that his death occurred on January 20, but no one from outside his close circle was aware until his family didn’t make the obituary public. The note was posted on legacy.com.
Vince, his father Vince Sr. and grandfather Jess McMahon have all been an active part in the professional wrestling business, but it wasn’t the same with Rod. He decided to take a different route in life by enlisting for the United States Air Force. Before that, he launched North American Metals Inc. in 1987 with his wife, Jamice.
The obituary read, “Our beloved husband, father and son, Roderick ‘Rod’ James McMahon of Willis, TX passed away January 20, 2021. He was born in Long Island, NY on October 12, 1943.
