Jesse Marunde passed away July 25, 2007

[Always Sore]

Strange how life works, If you eat like shit and smoke and drink and do nothing you live to 100, but if you work out and eat right and have a good home life you check out early. God bless to his family.

[Overload]

R.I.P.

A very good strongman and one of the best attitudes i've seen.

WOW!!! i saw Jesse just at the Arnold only 4 1/2 mths ago. I was working at the 6 Star booth and Jesse was at the Met-rx booth just opposite me and doing all the MC-ing for there booth. Just terrible news!! I am shocked at how young he is!!!

God Bless his family and loved ones at this time!!!

I have never felt the "RIP" expression is really appropriate to post when someone dies. I have only seen it in old western movies.  In the very least write out the whole expression, instead of abreviating.

I dont find it very respectful at all, in fact I find it flip. If its not something you would say in person then why say it on the internet?

Heart attack

Doesn't suprise me. Most larger than life people have a tendency to drop due to some sort of heart issues. Problem is, no matter how BIG you are, the heart muscle is the same size in all of us. The only time it is ever enlarged is due to some sort of infection or fluid retention, I.E. congestive heart failure. The bigger you are, the harder it has to work and eventually it burns out like everything else. Especially if the person lives an active life style such as his. We joke in the hospital about how you've only got so many heart beats left in you, so why waste them on running and such.

Guess it's not as funny as it used to be.

RIP BRO

Vince, was this the actual workout that he was doing when he passed?  I wonder if they were filming when he went down?  Damn, what a horrible story this is.  Rest in Peace.

[MAXX]

damn. that sucks 

wonder if his wife can support her family now without Jesses income.

well minus the juice and food bill... she should be alright.

[Mars]

there is something as being too much of an athlete i think. his heart probably couldn't handle his weight anymore. sad.

[HUGEPECS]

I snapped this Pic of him at the Arnold Expo just 5 months ago. the guy was in good spirit as always. I hope they let his fans know what killed him.

[UK Gold]

This is an absolute tragedy. To happen so young... Its fair to say we know the cause, and yet another shitstorm is headed for our industry. [BB, Wrestling and Strongman are bracketed togeather by the mainstream media].

RIP mate, best wishes to your family.

[The Squadfather]

any idiot can see that jesse marunde had and every day build of a guy off the streets, his muscle didnt match his strength. he was all steroids

dude no offense but i've seen Jesse in person and his bodyfat wasn't quite as low as yours but he absolutely dwarfed you interms of muscle size, his arms were at least the size of your legs and one of his legs was as big as your waist.

[Brutal_1]

RIP....Damn, I was sure Marius would go first!

[dizzleman06]

steroids make you TOO strong for your fragile body that we should be more respectful too. our body isnt some punching bag

Shut your fucking druggy face, you Douche bag...  You have no respect, but that is probably because you are high...  and you talk shit about drug users.  you are a drug user and the drug you use is probably twice as damaging as AAS....idiot.

I second this post. To be so damned smart, you say some stupid shit sometimes DW! Mr. I challenge everyone on the board, show some respect for your fellow man and competitor for once. Having a little class would probably do you some good and win you more votes than calling out anyone on a message board. Clown.

DW is a good dude but sometimes he talks out of his ass, if he saw Jesse in person he would be extremely surprised at how big he was, i've seen a lot of the top prs bb'ers in person and i'd say that Jesse was more impressive because of his combined height, width, thickness and strength, my guess is that Jesse was a big time test user from observing his behavoir, couple that with hereditary heart problems and high BP brought on by heavy high rep squats and this is what happens.

All strongmen take roids, he was as high as top 2 in a field of roiders so that is a massive achievement. You wouldn't say Pudzeonowski is all roids would you because when all the competition takes the stuff then its grit and determination that set you apart from the roided pack. Your argument is flawed. Anyway he has a family and shit, can't you not be a dick for like 1 day?!

I agree, but at least show some respect.  Thewickedtruth said it best... NO CLASS.  As much shit as we give each other on the boards here, we are all still brothers of iron...  This is what is important... not someones drug regimen.  People are the most important thing.

You must know him from more than his posts, especially the ones he's made in the last few months. Because the person he projects himself to be and portrays in his posts, isn't someone I'd describe as a good dude. I was glad to see for once get bigger's come together and keep the bullshit where it belongs but, apparenlty that's alot to ask for him. You're vouching for him though and I've never taken you for stupid, so I'd hope he's not really like this all the time.

exactly, anyone who ever saw video clips of Marunde training knows that this guy trained like a fuccking demon, deep 20 rep squats with 400 pounds plus, 405 pound overhead push presses, one arm chins, crazy weights on the Olympic lifts, this guy really pushed it to the max.
