Speaking through his Facebook page, WWE superstar Dustin Runnels (aka Goldust) paid tribute to his father and WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes who passed away yesterday aged 69.

Yesterday, my father passed away with his four children, my daughter and his wife of 38 years. He was our hero and the greatest father in the world. He is the reason why I am who I am today, he taught me so so many lessons in life, he had one thing that he wanted to be and that was he wanted to be forever young, now he is, now he is dancing with angels in heaven.

He was my mentor, my hero and a Dad that I strive to be like, I love you Dad, thank you for all the overwhelming amount of love and support. He would have been on cloud nine with this.

Thank you all,
Dustin Runnels.
