RIP Grant Henderson (Mr. Zimbabwe)
« on: July 19, 2024, 04:08:48 AM »
This is horrible. Grant and I spoke almost daily. This is from his girlfriend….

Today is an unimaginably difficult day. I am not normally someone to broadcast my pain online, as I don't feel that is the place for it. But I am trying to let as many people know as possible so that I do not have to repeat the story over and over. It is hard to just get it out once.

Grant passed away just a little after midnight today of a heart attack. He had been in the hospital with intestinal and blood clot issues. My heart is broken. For those of you who knew him well, his big heart and sense of humor were part of what made him so special. He was and will always be the love of my life. We had 13 years together, and there were many ups and downs. We had endured countless health challenges and life struggles together. I could not have asked for a better friend and partner. Please be patient with me. If you do not hear from me, just know that I am overwhelmed and grieving. Thank you to everyone who has given him their love, support, and friendship throughout the years. He cherished that.

The Scott

Drug use in bodybuilding is healthy so there is no reason he should have had so many issues.

Very strange.  Was he vaxxed?

Hope your getting regular checkups, Coach.

I'm guessing early 50's at most. He won the Mr Zimbabwe in 93, and came to America right after finishing college around 95.

He popped in just a few days ago. Shocking.

RIP.

(Grant's best moment here was the "Twila" saga of 2009. Old timers will remember it - https://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=254751.msg3589009#msg3589009 ,   https://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=301899.0 ).
