If I may offer my 2 cents and some clarification here.
a)Trevor was monstrous. I stood next to Trevor at the expo in Vegas at the USA's and I was 303lbs at 6'1", Trevor was an inch taller than me but easily had another 50-60lbs on me. He had some bodyfat on him but make no doubt about it, he was a massive individual and would of been incredibley impressive dieted down. He had alot of muscle mass on him.
b)For many years now I feel like I should of said/done more at the end. Trevor had emailed me some days before he died....it really took a huge toll on him, the relationship woe's coupled with a resounding sickening fact that people online dont stop for a second to think about. There were alot of people who bashed Trevor relentlessly, some people who are still here to this day on this very board, who took great joy in making that guy feel like total absolute shit. Alot of it was really brutal.
He took that stuff to heart ... we had talked about it many times....the stuff said hurt him. All what you guys saw was a 360 pound individual who you thought it was cool to make fun of....well that guy was a human being inside.
He could not understand why when he was just trying to help people with a mindset and a methodology, that people could say things that cut to the bone. I know you guys think "oh its only a freaking message board, who the f**k cares"....well thats fine and dandy when you hide behind a screen name 24/7 and noone knows who the hell you are.....your hidden, you just click the off button and your right back to your anomynous life.....its another thing when your pics and full name are out there and people are saying "that fat f**k doesnt deserve his hot wife, what does she see in that fucking obese MF" and so on and so on..............Trevor read it all, every bit of it, he just never posted in reaction............so Trevor and I talked thru this in emails back and forth at the end and I thought I left him on a pretty good note as he said something to the effect "thanks dante, I really appreciate those words, its been really tough on me of late"
Obviously I didnt say enough (Im pretty sure I know how Trevor died, and some of you guys on this thread who knew him do to....Im not privy to say though...as there is some legal jargon to run thru in all this)
c)Ill tell you what.... give me the choice of having Trevor as a friend versus 99% of people on these boards who will backstab you and screw you over at the drop of a hat to better themselves.....Id take Trevor in a heartbeat. He was loyal and he had honor, something you dont see in this sport much.....just look at the deviousness of this board....could you honestly trust the people on this board that are around you with the gimmick accounts and the backstabbing. What you see is what you got with Trevor...I dont care what these other people on this thread say. He was a good man in my book. If I remember right he asked me to write something for his mag he was putting out back in the day, I asked him to see a copy.....he sends me a copy and 4 jugs of free protein with a note ("on the house Dante, your a good guy")
and he was too
