Had heard that he was in critical condition on Friday night, and the news just broke that he has passed way. Liver cancer, apparently he was diagnosed only very recently.

“It is with overwhelming regret that we announce the passing of Dan Goossen, 64, from complications relating to liver cancer. The sudden news of his diagnosis was very much a private matter and his final days were spent surrounded by his family and closest friends. Sadness is difficult to escape as we grieve his passing, however we are filled with pride by the fact that Dan Goossen battled this aggressive illness with boundless strength and the last days of his life were fought and lived with unflinching bravery, pure love and grace beyond measure.”

I'll never forget his urging of Coralles to get onto Castillo just before Coralles closed the show.

You're thinking of Joe, his brother. Dan was the promoter.
