Wrestling legend Randy Savage passed away.

June 1, 2011 Randy Savage was one of the most popular professional wrestlers in the 1980s and into the 1990s. Randy Savage had something that professional wrestling was still very new to when he arrived on the scene: extreme personality. Today, there are many over the top characters found in the world of professional wrestling, but Savage was an original. His superior athletic ability, work ethic, and uniqueness brought this 7 time world champion a tremendous amount of success at work.

You might remember Randy Savage from his years as a spokesman for Slim Jim snack foods in the 1990s. He tied his famous "ooooo yeah!" catch phrase in the ads. In 2002 Randy Savage was cast in the Spider Man movie as the wrestler Bonesaw McGraw. He played himself in Ready to Rumble and was voice of "The Thug", in the movie Bolt.

Tragically, on May 20, 2011 Randy Savage apparently had a heart attack while driving his Jeep Wrangler in Florida while accompanied by his wife. From Wikipedia: "On the morning of May 20, 2011, Savage (born Randall Poffo) died in a single vehicle automobile accident while driving on a street in Seminole, Florida, a town on the Pinellas County side of the Tampa Bay area.[101] He was 58 years old. It was suspected he may have had a heart attack, which led to his losing control of the vehicle and crashing into a tree. His wife Lynn was also in the automobile but received only minor injuries. This report was later confirmed by Savage's brother, Lanny Poffo."

Taking care of a deceased family member's personal affairs.
Many families are caught off guard when a loved one dies so suddenly. After the family member's death there are still issues that need to be taken care of. Finances, insurance, and legal matters are among those issues. Randy Savage was 58 years old when he died so he would not have been collecting age related social security benefits. However, most people are not aware that regardless of a spouses age, the family may be entitled to what the Social Security Administration calls a "one time death payment".

One-time death payment from the Social Security Administration
A one-time payment of $255.00 can be paid to the surviving spouse if he or she was living with the deceased; or, if living apart, was receiving certain Social Security benefits on the deceased's record. If there is no surviving spouse, the payment is made to a child who is eligible for benefits on the deceased's record in the month of death.
