Brad Hollibaugh has passed away suddenly at age 54.
It appears that another figure in the bodybuilding world has passed. Brad Hollibaugh, bodybuilder, actor, and trainer, has passed away suddenly at the age of 54. Details surrounding his death are currently scarce, but his death was confirmed by his former partner Karrie Lynn in a post on her Facebook page.
“My heart is filled with such sorrow. My best friend went “Home” yesterday. Brad Hollibaugh, I can’t believe you’re no longer with us on earth school. We started dating August 2018 and it’s been a blessing-filled 2 ½ years. So much love, laughter and wonderful experiences that I will be forever grateful.
“In January, we decided to redefine our relationship due to the long distance status. We were best friends. We continued to talk or text almost every day as best friends do ending each conversation with an “I love you”. He was and continues to be a blessing in my life. His favorite words to say were; “make positive impacts, go kick some butt and go make things happen.” I can see him in heaven free from his earthly body cracking jokes, flexing, playing pool and hugging his parents and brother, Scott. Thank you my love, and I’ll see you on the other side.”
It appears that the death of Brad Hollibaugh was sudden and took everyone who knew him by surprise. This one certainly is hitting home for many fans of late 90s, early 2000s bodybuilding.
Hollibaugh was known for his massive physique, so massive that he rivaled Jay Cutler during their guest posing together.
