During his WWE tenure, Silfies also found time to direct the Civil War short documentary film “The Last Full Measure,” which was released in 2004 and narrated by actor Stacy Keach. He continued to work for WWE until 2020, when he was among many backstage employees that were furloughed by the company at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike others, Silfies was not brought back after.

Shortly after news of Silfies’ death broke, AEW commentator Taz took to X to pay tribute to his former co-worker.

“I can’t explain what a super person & great director Kerwin was,” Taz tweeted. “I worked with him for many years in WWE on the road and in studio. His passion for great TV in the wrestling biz was strong. This man once was working in the studio through an actually heart attack & kept working!! Very sad to hear this. I hope they put him in their WWE HOF. He belongs. Prayers & support to his family. RIP.”

Wrestling Inc. would like to offer its condolences to Silfies’ family and friends during this difficult time.
