Havoc began his career in 2005, training under DJ Hyde, Mike Quackenbush, and Chris Hero. He was a mainstay in CZW, but also found a following from his work in Big Japan, IWA Mid-South, and GCW.
He announced his retirement in September, 2017, wrestling his final official match against Alex Colon at CZW: Down With The Sickness.
Since his retirement, he worked a handful of shows, including more recently GCW: Run Rickey Run this past February.
On April 4, 2020, Havoc’s wife, Brianne, died of heart failure.
His cause of death has yet to be revealed.
Absolutely heartbroken.
I wouldn’t be who I am today without Danny Havoc.
Absolute genius who never got the credit he deserved.
Im beyond privileged to been able to travel the world with him.
Reach out to your loved one. Life is so short.
Love you Grant.

This cuts too deep. Grant "Danny Havoc" Berkland. He was an inspiration to so many and a friend to all and our hearts go out to his family and loved ones.
We can take a small comfort in knowing the entire wrestling community are sharing the same grief right now.#RIPDannyHavoc pic.twitter.com/2AbDxYRb6I— CZW Combat Zone Wrestling (@combatzone) June 1, 2020
The loss of Danny Havoc is utterly tragic. Passionate about his wrestling, passionate about his art, and gone far – FAR – too soon. I loved his sly sense of humor, and he had a unique perspective to add to every conversation. Danny Havoc was a guy we all looked forward to seeing.
