DON TONY AND KEVIN CASTLE SHOW

Late Sunday night, April 6, 2025, Kevin Castle and I were preparing for our upcoming special 'WrestleMania 41 Preview And Predictions' episode of Don Tony And Kevin Castle Show. We scheduled the show for Sunday night, April 13, 2025 beginning at 8:05PM ET on YouTube. Twelve hours later, Kev was gone. He passed away Monday April 7, 2025. Beyond the microphone, Kevin was a man of immense kindness and generosity. He always looked out for others, often putting them before himself. Even what ended up being his final hour, Kevin had reached out about the upcoming DTKC Show not wanting to let down...

But you will hear within the first 15 minutes why I changed my mind. No matter what was going on, Kev always did everything he could for the show to go on. Even in his final hour, he was thinking about Monday's DTKC Show and all of you. I legit heard Kev Castle in my heart yelling at me to get off my ass and do this for everyone. He always did.

DON TONY AND KEVIN CASTLE SHOW

We lost Kevin Castle. He passed away Monday afternoon (4/7/25). With very heavy and broken hearts, myself (Don Tony), Kev's brother Jon Draper, and Mish (Wrestling Soup) try to make sense of what happened. In addition to health issues, we also discuss another major ailment that Kev Castle was battling. Kev always looked out for others and many times put others before himself. We truly think in his passing, he can help others in ways too many online refuse to discuss. RIP Kev. Note: This episode is posted only hours after Kev's passing. We are too emotionally drained to start changing links...
