Rod McMahon III, brother of WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, died at the age of 77 on Jan. 20. News of his passing did not break until Monday when his obituary was posted on Legacy.com. Unlike Vince, his father Vince Sr. and grandfather Jess McMahon, Rod was not involved in the professional wrestling business. Instead, he enlisted in the United States Air Force before launching North American Metals Inc. in 1987 with his wife, Jamice.
