Under this post were comments from the likes of Shawn Rhoden and Dennis Wolf. These bodybuilding champions offer condolences for their fallen brethren. 

The Darkness Nation Instagram also shared a message mourning the passing of Luna. They shared a lengthy heartfelt message in Portuguese, reflecting on how special of a person he was.

“Today it was no coincidence that the sky was cloudy … we received the sad news that our brother in irons, Victor Luna, had passed away.⠀

Luna was an important name in the national bodybuilding scene, mainly in Rio de Janeiro. His first championship was in 2006, in the rookie category, where he won the category at just 22 years old.

With about 1.83m in height, he was considered for one time one of the heaviest bodybuilders in Brazil, reaching 140kg in his off season and 113kg in pre contest. His training was like we like to talk, in the best “old school” style, with a lot of load and brutality!”

In addition to this, Mr. Olympia himself, Brandon Curry also shared a message to mourn the passing of Luna. He shared a couple of photos of the pair together, while saying that Victor was his first friend from Brazil.

“Got sad new today. A brother in iron and good friend has passed today. @ifbbvictorluna was always smiling and encouraging me. You will be missed. My first friend from Brazil 🇧🇷. RIP

Regards to his family and friends. Praying for you.”
