Tragically, the Bella family isn't immune to a sad loss. In October 2022, Nikki Bella and Brie Bella experienced a tragedy when their Uncle Tom passed away. The latter shared a heartbreaking tribute to Tom on Instagram, posting a series of adorable photos and videos that show him playing with her and Bryan Danielson's son, Buddy, and their daughter, Birdie. "Heaven gained a beautiful Angel today, my Uncle Tom. He was a strong, sweet, funny, very supportive man," Brie captioned the heartfelt post, as she opened up about how much Tom, who was a veteran, had been a support system for her over the years. "Say hi to Pop-Pop for me, Uncle Tom; I'll always cherish our memories. Love you," she added.
Brie's sister Nikki Bella shared her own sadness in the comments section of her sister's post, posting several emojis, including a crying face and prayer hands to pay tribute to Tom. The sisters' brother, JJ Garcia, took to the comments section as well, writing, "We lost an amazing man, but heaven got one! See you on the other side Uncle Tom! Love you!"
