I did not want to believe the sad news about Franco’s passing today. He was so strong, so driven, so humble and if you got a chance to meet him he was so damn funny!!!! It was just this past March we were all chatting it up on stage at Arnold’s Sunday Seminar and the stories you shared were awesome and absolutely hilarious. Thank you for always motivating us through your actions of strength, honor and kindness. You were a healer also being a Doctor of Chiropractic as you helped so many people with their ailments which I had found most impressive aside from the heavy lifts you would perform. Your ability to achieve bodybuilding’s highest honors, yet compete as a strongman carrying a refrigerator on your back to get injured but show no fear of getting back up, get checked out and literally do an interview with CBS exemplified your Demi-God greatness!!! You will be terribly missed and never forgotten. I am in complete shock! May you Rest in Supreme Power and thank you again for your incredible impact on the world! My most sincere condolences. #FrancoColumbu #MrOlympia #Legend #Strongman #DrOfChiropractic #RIP #RestInPower

I am sad to get the news that my boyhood hero and bodybuilding icon @francocolumbu has passed away at the age of 78 in Sardinia at sea. He was one of the bodybuilders to inspire me being of shorter height and Italian. Franco had one of the best lat spread and was known for his strength. #rip
