NWA star Elijah Burke wrote, "Thinking about the talks I've shared w/Jocephus aka "The Question Mark" over our short period of time working together @nwa I always found him to be upbeat, positive, gentle & oddly funny. Really gonna miss him & his smile. Prayers to his family~PHS."

Was shocked to learn about the passing of Josephus this morning. Worked with him in 2016 at @IMPACTWRESTLING. He was a very kind, very creative guy. My condolences go out to his family. #RIPJosephHudson

The world is a better place because you were in it. Life is kind of like wrestling. It's the "moments" that count. We shared them in and out of the ring. I love you brother. 🥋❓🤘🏼💔 pic.twitter.com/6HxrkS4BVf

Very sad to hear about the passing of Jocephus. I met him years ago before we worked together at NWA and he always had a smile on his face and was always so fun to be around. My condolences to his family, especially his little boy. He will be forever remembered. Ka-Ra-Tay?????
