I looked up this guy ( Jesse Marunde) because he is the only famous person I came across born on the exact same day as me 14th September 1979. It was sad to hear that he had passed away. RIP strongman.

I always remember Jesse Marunde in 2005 W.S.M. with Mariusz! Shocked to hear that he passed away 2 years later! I always remember strongman from the 1980s to 2009. I lost interest after that!

Insanity with Jesse made with mariuz at 2005 WSM at fingal fingers. For certain he ll became a wsm champion...anyways... This week we lost Nasser el sombaty and Joe Weider and some makes me remember of Jesse...RIP you all!! Greg, Recife-Brasil

i liked him very much in world strongman`s series ... :(

respect

Ronnie Coleman is a body builder. Jesse is a strongman...BIG DIFFERENCE

Great vid for a great man. It was a question of time Jesse beats Pudz.

@theringmonster What right do you have? To judge someone you have never met, nor ever will. I knew Jesse and his wife personally. Jesse trained me 4 days a week, and even hung out with him on occasions. I only hope that you don't experience what his wife and family went through. Next time think about what you say. What you said was inappropriate and disrespectful to not only the whole strongman community, but to Jesse himself.

I'd like black (African American) strongman.

I'd like Ronnie Coleman will replace Jesse Marunde.

Jesse's wife then went on to marry Nick Best. Not sure if that's acceptable in America, but you do NOT go with your friend's ex in the UK!
