That's really sad; he was such a young man. I didn't know him, but, in the pic above, he looks like a really happy young guy. My condolences to those he left behind. You will all be in my prayers.

He was one of the nicest people I ever met not to mention a fantastic lifter. He'll be missed.

There's talking... and then there's powerlifting.

He's powerlifting in heaven with the gods.
