Steve stated that Andy spoke about life outside the ring and how he wanted to do business. He also had some plans along the same line. Steve shared:
"We’ve repped Andy for about a year and a half, and Andy and I spent hours upon hours on the phone in that time, talking about life outside and after the ring. He had wonderful ideas and business plans, and he consistently impressed me with his creativity. He became a very good friend in the time we’ve worked together. Every phone call ended with him reminding me to take care of myself and give myself some grace."
Andy's representative also added, praying that he would receive the same grace as he crosses to the next stage. Steve shared how he will always miss Andy, his marathon phone calls, and noted, "Life is seldom fair, and losing one of the good ones will never cease being the worst feeling in the world. I’ll miss you a ton, Andy. I will miss our marathon phone calls, and I promise that I won’t let your ideas fall by the wayside, and your memory will always be a blessing."

The duo was also seen in many promotions, including AEW, Ring of Honor (ROH), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), and more.
A trailblazing musician with ETID and Atomic Rule, Williams made a successful transition into professional wrestling and was highly respected by his peers both in and out of the ring.
Rest in peace, Andy Williams.
