From 2009 to 2011 Young was in a relationship with Terri Runnels; after the relationship ended Runnels filed a lawsuit against Young for libel and to block distribution of sexually explicit photos he had of Runnels. Young was married to Jennifer Young. After retiring, Young regularly used prescribed painkillers to help with the pain from various injuries he sustained during his career. In 2016, he collapsed while walking home from an event. He was diagnosed with blood clots in his legs and back, in addition to heart problems. Tommy Dreamer revealed that when he tried to book Young for his House of Hardcore promotion, Young said he was in poor health and often bedridden due to his heart problems and failing vision. On May 14, 2021, Young died of a heart attack in the afternoon at his Greensboro, North Carolina home at the age of 58. Sadly this was his final uncensored shoot interview before his death. New Jack along with Jim Cornette , The Honky Tonk Man and the Iron Sheik are true shoot interview legends because they held nothing back and this old school interviews are far better then the Kayfabe planned interviews with wrestlers. They are all pre-planned and have become a neo shoot format, basically promotion for older wrestlers. New Jack will always enertain.
