“Dear friends and family. This morning John passed away unexpectedly and peacefully at his home. As you can imagine, this is a total shock to her (his wife) and his boys. She will update as soon as she can. Please know that she is very grateful for all the prayers and support that you know and that the children will receive from you, “says the message posted on the athlete’s Facebook page, signed by his wife Brooke Nappo.
The latest health-related information about him is that in 2020 he had been hospitalized for a blood clot that was thought to be due to his past illness.
Still, despite his health problems, Meadows continued his successful career in the bodybuilding industry. And he had come to train current Mister Olympia 212 winner Shaun Clarida and Missy Truscott, current Ms Fitness Olympia.
The bodybuilder has been the inspiration for many people in the community and this has been noted in the different tributes that have been paid to him on social networks since the news of his death has come to light.
