From his FB Page

Good morning all.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce my friend, IFBB Pro David Dearth, passed away Monday night Aug 5th after suffering a heart attack while in the hospital.

David was a larger than life character who lived his live to the fullest each and every day of his life, with very few regrets. Rather than mourn his passing, I'm quite sure David would want you to celebrate his life, like he celebrated every day of his life.

David loved his family very much, and I'm sure his loss is a big one for them, so please keep them in your thoughts as they move forward. To his girlfriend Maureen, I know through many talks that David loved you very much, and couldn't stop talking about how much you have done for him these past couple of years.

To David, Aaron, and Andrew his sons, Dave was so very proud of all of you, and talked about you every time I was able to talk with him.

Arrangements for David will be posted soon by his family.

Rest in Peace my friend... I'll miss our late night talks and all the advice you gave me when we met back in 1992.

God bless

Very sad.

Guy pushed fate, though. Steroids, recs, etc. ... In the nineties (when him and Aaron Baker were the dynamic duo) he’d achieve crazy conditioning and the word was he’d use various recreational street drugs to assist.

But I fully admit I have zero knowledge of exactly what he was doing/has done.

I never met David but have seen him in person. Almost attended a wedding along with him.

He died too young.

RIP David.

No confirmation on whether it was a heart attack or Septic from the infection. It was infected.

Shawn Ray - He passed away on the porch at his girlfriend's house.

Dave Liberman  - Yes. He passed away Monday night after bicep surgery

‎Pamela Kester Pullins‎ - So shocked, but as I reflect on David Dearth passing, I cannot help but think about the amazing party that must be occurring on the other side of the veil. So much heartache left behind for his amazing family and friends, but total rejoicing by sweet Devin Dearth.

Jeff Petee - David had a staff infection a few years back from knee surgery. As a result, his heart was weakened, and when his bicep got infected, his heart wasnt strong enough to handle it..

Please lift their family in prayer and positives as they work through this very sad loss. My deepest and most sincerest condolences to all who are grieving.


Eddie Robinson - Sorry to hear the Bad news! R.I.P brother... stopped by your page to read you last words got the news early Tuesday morning of your passing.
Gods Blessing my friend we had a lot of fun times during our career. Till we meet again brother. R.I.P love ya ER

Darius Barazandeh - Bless you David Dearth I watched your journey's and your ups and downs. I know you were dreading that surgery. Rest in peace brother and now your are connected to infinite source.... the real truth about what you always have been you now know. No more limitations for you...just infinite love and light. Rest in peace and thrive reconected to source energy.

Perdiansyah Putra - You are the humble person on Facebook and real life. We love u, that so heart break you are go early. But we know u are in your better place. Your legacy and your briliant kharismatic will live on. Send love and prayer for you and your family.

His was worried about this surgery because of his addiction to pain meds. The way he dealt with his addiction was to stay active so this surgery had him worried.

Met him back in the day and was a good guy. Has been through the ringer with one surgery after another including open heart bypass.

He loved working with horses..his gf was a renown female jockey.

RIP

Insensitive AND inappropriate speculative discussion to be having at this time.

Really sad to hear this...just found out on fb
He seemed like a genuinely decent guy who battled and struggled and overcame addiction problems in his past as well as severe depression.

The last few years have been hard on him with all the surgeries and mishaps he went thru...rip.

Isn't every thread on Getbig an insensitive and inappropriate speculative discussion? How is this different? ???

Even if it was a heroin overdose, it was most likely only due to underlying genetic factors, and would not have happened if not for those factors.

Stay tuned to Dave Palumbo's upcoming show on it to explain the factors.
