R.I.P., I remember him, he used to be in powerlifing magazines
-
Was he murdered?
There has been no mention of foul play so I’m not sure why you ask that. I seem to recall that he had some serious health issues that he posted about on social media 1-2 years ago including kidney problems.
60 seems very young to me now. :'(
-
Suicide?
-
He looks like more of a BB than a PLer given the battle-thongs and whatnot.

He did PL in his younger years; as he approached 40s he transitioned to BB and did several master’s shows.

When I read that he “went missing”... and then they found his abandoned truck...
I thought that perhaps foul play was involved

That works for me. He was perfect! :P

Ladiner was really sick and needed a kidney transplant, that he received last year I think. I think he still had a lot of medical trouble after, both physically and moneywise, that might be the reason he well.....
RIP.

Hey, the preferred nomenclature is heterosexual adjacent. Try to keep it respectful.

The gay obsession seems to increase here as the traffic goes down which I’m thinking could drive it down even more.
While the jokes about a certain notorious member are funny, otherwise it is disgusting, lame, blue humor which lacks creativity.

This is true!

He lived to a ripe old age for a steroid addict.

Sad, his daughter (tay_manns) was keeping the faith even up till yesterday morning -

Totally understandable; one cannot help but sympathize. :'(
Total speculation: he lived and liked the rural life. He was probably out and about (hunting, fishing, hiking, etc.) away from his truck and had a heart attack.
He was open about his health challenges in recent years and posted about them on Facebook. As recently as 2020 he still looked jacked for a man his age. As I recall he was about 5'7"
-
Having a loving (and big) family and doing what you love are all to be kept in perspective. He went young but that is all relative if you look across the globe.

Wasn't he one of the original Animal Pak mag ad guys?

Reading the reports of his death, most make no mention of his lifting exploits.
He kept his foot on the gas for way too long and paid the price with numerous severe health problems that no doubt reduced the quality of his life for many years.
Then he finally croaked.
But totally worth it.

I couldn't help but notice that as well. It is the elephant in the room that goes unmentioned. He was HUGE at one point. That doesn't happen without consequence.
Worth it? :-\

RIP Iron Warrior!

I competed in a powerlifting comp in Jackson Mississippi with him when I was a teenager. I won the best lifter for under 185 and he won be lifter above 185. He was like 220 at that show. Dude was a monster back then.

In the last 48 hours I have read that Joe was murdered, Joe had mental health issues (depression), Joe had a heart attack related to steroid history, and Joe committed suicide. Apparently, his abandoned truck contained $150 in cash, a laptop, a gun holster--but no gun. None of this from official sources. It seems many are determined to offer a definitive cause of death and even dueling about it on social media. :'(

All hypothesis until law enforcement or family weighs in with something. But is a holster without gun common or uncommon? If you are hunting, for example, do you take gun and leave holster? I am not a gun owner.
-
Sounds like suicide to me since it seems hush hush.

Loved him as the Warlord
-
His son and daughter posted long tributes to him on Facebook. They don't reference foul play or anything similar, they just have the somber tone that comes with death, especially the unexpected kind. I will say the man was loved in his area, lots of condolences, and not the cheap kind, but heartfelt ones.

someone on facebook says he was the first person to total 2100 on the powerlifts.
Jon Cook did 2105 in 1971 when joe was 8 so pretty impressive if he did it before Jon.
