-Got involved with body building and placed second in the 1960 Mr. Washington DC bodybuilding contest.
-As Ron Reed, he used the nicknames "Handsome" and "Cowboy"
-On February 20, 1975, Colt was piloting a Cessna 182 from Miami to Tampa with passengers Bobby Shane, Gary Hart and Mike McCord (AKA Austin Idol). There was some bad weather, so Colt was forced to land at the airport on the nearby Davis Island but missed the landing and the engine stalled and they ended up crashing nose-first into the water. Buddy Colt, Hart, and McCord were all able to free themselves from the wreckage and swim to safety but Shane was not as lucky. He drowned and passed away at the age of 29. Colt's right ankle was shattered and his in-ring career ended at this point.
-After the plane crash, Colt spent the remainder of his career as a colour commentator for the Florida wrestling television shows.
-Passed away March 3, 2021 at the age of 85.
