The 80’s USA and National Champ Darryl Stafford has died at 58.
We’re barely into the new year and it’s only been a little over a week since we learned about Ed Corney’s death but another tragedy has hit recently with the death of Daryl Stafford.
The cause of death was reported as a heart attack.
Daryl Stafford started his bodybuilding journey in 1984 at age 25 and went on to win his pro card 1993.
We’d like to extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of a great athlete, Darryl Stafford. May his soul rest in peace.
