MATT’S ABIDING
MEMORY
“Dallas was extremely thoughtful and
loving with his words to people he
cared about. He wanted them to feel
appreciated and loved. He didn’t
have insecurities as other guys do.
Even backstage he acted more like a
footballer than a bodybuilder. Some
bodybuilders act as if they don’t want to
talk to anybody and want to stay in their
own little world. At the 2016 Chicago Pro
[which Dallas won], all the guys were
lined up ready to go onstage, and Dallas
walked the length of the line and shook
everybody’s hand, hugged them, and
wished them luck before taking his place
in the line. I’ll always remember that.
Dallas was a true gentleman.”
