Just saw this reported minutes ago Just a bad deal no one should have to go through
Please respect my family’s privacy.

Born September 14, 2007 Passed July 25, 2007
This thread is not for questions. This thread is for you to offer comfort to a family of hurting people.
A statement will be made at a later time. Until then I covet your prayers for my family.
Sincerely,
Gigi Marunde
Wait, Jesse died?
And I think the birth year is wrong.
More details, Phill.
No one has said how it happened?
Sad.
I think the birth date is wrong.
i was just about to post this phil. horrible news to start the day! According to Selby MacFarlane on the NAS forum Marunde had a ``massive coronary’’ after doing a set of high-rep squats, though this hasn’t been confirmed by his family yet.
jesse was only 28. i’m absolutely stunned by this. i had the pleasure of training in a group with him last year. seemed like a decent guy.
Sad to hear. He was young with a bright future in front of him.
Didn’t get the chance to know him, but he seemed like awesome guy, dedicated to his training.
R.I.P
My thoughts and prayers go to his family
Condolences to the family. I Met him briefly at a strong man show in Wilmington De, I was asking him questions for 15 minutes between events. He was completely cool about talking. answered everything and offered some good advice. even signed autographs and bsed with a little kid, who was in awe of the size of the guy.
Guy just seemed like a genuinely good guy adn the sport and his family are left without a good man. again my complete condolences to the family. BB
Hey guys, can give a link to the story? I’m having trouble finding anything on this.
Sept. 14th, 1979 is the actual DOB.
To An Athlete Dying Young
THE time you won your town the race
We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.
To-day, the road all runners come,
Shoulder-high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town.
Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay,
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose.
Eyes the shady night has shut
Cannot see the record cut,
And silence sounds no worse than cheers
After earth has stopped the ears:
Now you will not swell the rout
Of lads that wore their honours out,
Runners whom renown outran
And the name died before the man.
So set, before its echoes fade,
The fleet foot on the sill of shade,
And hold to the low lintel up
The still-defended challenge-cup.
And round that early-laurelled head
Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead,
And find unwithered on its curls
The garland briefer than a girl’s
The name will not die before the man. RIP brother.
There is no link. It was a rumor on his website last night and it’s since been confirmed. It’s just terrible
That is terrible.
R.I.P.
It’s sad to hear he died that way. Then again, he died doing the things he loved, so I guess it’s nice to remember not how he died, but how he lived.
RIP.
RIP without a doubt before he even began to fully shine.
I have been trying all mourning to find somthing marunde-muscle says the server is down nd wont let me get onto any pages. ESPN and Metrx havn’t been updated and havn’t posted anything. I was told heart failure, I really feel terrible for his family especially with two young kids and a widow.
My condolensces go out to the entire Marunde family. The strength world has truly lost a great athlete and a great person. He was truly dedicated to his sport and spreading the popularity of strongman. I remember a MET-RX add I saw a few years ago where he said that everything he did in life he did to get stronger, faster, more powerful, etc.
He will be sorely missed…
RIP
I am at a lose for words this is just horrible news.
My deepest condolences go out to his family.

Damn and crazy thing He posted just yesterday morn that he was going to have a “KIller” training session and he was nervous about it. Sad day for sure
How long till the media blames steroids??

All though I cannot imagine how his family feels I hope they get through this hard time, because the pain does subside.
I dont want to take away from what this thread was started for but here is what I have read on this subject.
