Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka passed away earlier this month after a battle with stomach cancer that began in 2015. He was 73.
It seems his wife is planing a public viewing for Snuka tomorrow. Wrestling Rumors and other outlets recently received the following message.
Jimmy’s wife has asked me to share this information with your site:
Jimmy Snuka’s wife Carole is holding his funeral in accordance with his wishes tomorrow, Thursday Jan 26th:
A public viewing will be held from 9:30am – 11:30am at
Serenity Memorial Chapels
5229 Coconut Creek Parkway
Margate Fl 33063
Snuka’s death prompted an outpouring of support from friends and family, who helped to celebrate his iconic career. Those names included Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson, Jim Ross, and his daughter, modern WWE superstar Tamina Snuka.

But that celebration offered no small amount of controversy, given the suspicion surrounding Snuka’s alleged role in a 1983 murder case. Snuka was arrested in connection to the killing in 2015, but charges were dismissed earlier this month after a judge determined he was mentally unfit to stand trial. It seems we’ll never know the truth of the case. WWE has offered public memorials of Snuka, but his name remains a banned search term on WWE.com, much like Hulk Hogan and Chris Benoit.
We send our condolences to Jimmy Snuka’s friends and family.
