I went to the same gym as John Meadows here in Pickerington, and he held the door for me one day and said "after you big guy" and I had the best workout of my life after that. Just a wonderful human being.

I meet him 5 times in Pickerington, 3 we have lunch and he taught me some things in the gym while i was recovering from an spine injury i got during deployment.   Didn't charge me a dime, didn't ask for nothing in return, no social media show, nothing he just knew from another person my situation and he approach me.   He always send me dms asking how i was doing and gave me some tips.

He was a noble men, a gentle giant with a great heart.   He really made the world around him better and his education and tenderness made people peaceful.
Never was he 2 tired to be educated, gentle or to care for another person.

He was a man's man.    I hope one day i get to be just a slight of gentle and peaceful as he was.

Showed you to my mom, she said you look like shrek

I love that he would show off his kids yo-yo tricks at the beginning of videos man

John Meadows was my favorite of them all. He looked and sounded like a very gentle genuine person, he had such a calming and welcoming attitude, it is incredibly missed.

"Alright, hi everybody, John Meadows here" and the day was instantly better. RIP and thank you RP for this tribute to the man.

When John Meadows passed away it was one of the few times a "celebrity" death truly broke me. He really was my favorite YouTuber and such a role model for what an influencer should be. Humble, intelligent, helpful, authentic etc. etc. He'll never be forgotten

He used to have his son do yoyo tricks in his videos. Made his passing even more tragic. RIP mountaindog

John is an absolute legend. Influenced so many people in bodybuilding

Was pretty shocked to hear he passed away.  By several accounts I’ve heard, a genuine, humble, inspiring guy.   Salt of the earth.

I am still subscribed to the Mountain Dog over all those years. Even late in his prime he won against Greg Doucette on stage

RIP John Meadows. He bridged the gap between 'bro' culture and 'science nerds.' We really miss this in today's 'us vs. them' culture. I've learned most of my practical cues for bodybuilding training from him.

His channel is still up, family keeps posting videos and they keep getting thousands of views. Such a legend!

Was watching a John Meadows video before this came out.

RIP John "The Mountain Dog" Meadows

It is making me teary-eyed to see so many appreciative comments beneath this tribute to the late, the great, the legendary John Meadows by the wonderful Mike Israetel who is a legend himself. John lifted up so many people and used bodybuilding to spread love and improve people's physiques and lives. The comments show how one man has impressed millions of people with his humility and altruism. Now that's a legacy! John Meadows was an incredible human being. He is sorely missed.

Sent my dad a John Meadows video before he passed and we both had such an appreciation for him. Heartbreaking, especially with his son so young.

He was an incredible man.

Inspired me to be a better father even.

Hate that his children lost him such a beautiful person.

RIP to one of the greats.

On one of John's videos, I commented that he looked like a swoll Mark Hamill. He replied and laughed.
