Monday morning, June 11, 2001, was a sad day for bodybuilding, Mike Mentzer has passed away June 9th. Ray, his brother, who is also suffering from illnesses, found him.

To compound the loss of Mike, on June 11th, at approximately 9:00 PM, Ray died in his sleep. Ray suffered from kidney failure caused by Berger's Disease.

Both brothers lived in Redondo Beach, and they shared an apartment together. Both brothers had a history of health problems, including heart problems. Mike was 49, Ray was 47.

Although Ray was often thought of as Mike's younger bodybuilder he was a formidable bodybuilder in his own right. His 1979 Mr. America win made him and Mike the only brothers to have won the title. Although he stopped competing in 1982 he continued to train as hard as ever and eventually surpassed Mike in size reaching a then-unheard-of 270 lbs. in the mid-80's!"
