The Von Erich family is a professional wrestling family. Their actual birth names are "Adkisson", but every member of the family who went into the wrestling business used the ring name "Von Erich", after the family patriarch, Fritz (real name - Jack). Patriarch Fritz lived until his natural death, but 5 of his 6 sons died before him (3 by suicide). The firstborn son, Jack Jr. died at the age of six. In 1984 David Von Erich died in Japan from acute enteritis of the upper intestine. Michael, Chris, and Kerry all committed suicide in 1987, 1991, and 1993 respectively. Mike died after taking an overdose of Placidyl. Chris shot himself in the head with a 9mm at his parents' home in East Texas. Kerry shot himself in the chest behind his father's house on Shady Shores Road. Kevin Von Erich is the sole surviving child of Fritz Von Erich (Jack Adkisson) and Doris Adkisson.
On March 16, 2009, it was announced that the Von Erich family would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. They were inducted by Michael "P.S." Hayes, with Kevin Von Erich accepting the induction.
The third generation of Von Erichs is in the process of forming, as Kerry's daughter Lacey Von Erich is now in the business, and Kevin's sons, Marshall and Ross Von Erich are contemplating entering the squared circle themselves.
Nearby you will (hopefully) find a camo'd bison tube. This is in Grove Hill Memorial Park cemetery, show some respect when hunting this cache. Do not attempt to hunt this after hours.
If you don't sign the log, don't claim the find!
If you attempt to look and can't find it, log a DNF! Sometimes that's the only way I know there might be a problem and I can check it out. Just because YOU can't find it doesn't mean it is not there!
