Jackass 3D star and pro wrestler Stevie Lee has died aged 54. <\/p>\n

The star’s family confirmed he had passed away “unexpectedly” at his home on Wednesday morning, and they have set up a GoFundMe crowdfunding page to help with the funeral costs. <\/p>\n

“He was beloved by many and has many friends that were family, fans that adored him, but only his brother Jim left to take care of final arrangements,” they penned on the page. <\/p>\n

Speaking of the star, who went by the stage name of Puppet The Psycho Dwarf in his wrestling career, they gushed Stevie, “put smiles across the world with his hardcore attitude and lifestyle.” <\/p>\n

“He is a legend in the art of Midget Wrestling,” they added. “He needs our help to give him one last curtain call. Please donate what you can, share his memories with everyone, and share this fundraiser to give the Psycho Dwarf the best resting place possible. <\/p>\n

“All proceeds will be given to Jim Richardson to handle the services\/burial costs,” the page states. “Thank you all so much and Puppet, we love you brother!” <\/p>\n
