WWE"s Dana Brooke: Dallas McCarver Was My Life, Swolemate
WWE superstar Dana Brooke is devastated over the death of her boyfriend, Dallas McCarver — but says she knows the bodybuilder will be her guardian angel for the rest of her life. The 26-year-old bodybuilding phenom passed away early Tuesday…
Dallas McCarver: Read His Girlfriend"s Moving Tribute
Dallas McCarver is no longer with us.
The bodybuilder sadly and suddenly died on Monday evening after choking on food at home by himself in Florida.
He was only 26 years old at the time.
The nearly 300-pound weight lifter finished in eighth place at last year’s Mr. Olympia contest and had been on the phone with girlfriend Dana Brooke (a WWE Superstar) not long before his fatal accident.
“I love you,” McCarver said to Brooke to conclude their call. “Goodbye.”
There were no signs of foul play at the scene and no reason to think the man known as “Big Country” wanted to harm himself.
By every indication, this was just a terrible, freak accident.
In response to losing the love of her life, Brooke has taken to Instagram and shared a moving tribute to McCarver.
“So here it goes, I’ll try & be short– aug 22 the lord received another angel, who happens 2 be my LIFE,” Brooke wrote, adding:
“MY Dallas the one WHO ONLY UNDERSTOOD ME! I can speak on the behalf of his family– the love and support you all are showing for him & us is OVERWHELMING!!”
In March of this year, McCarver collapsed on stage at the 2017 Arnold Classic Australia, alarming fans to a significant degree.
But this incident did not appear to play any role in what happened on Monday.
“Dallas would always tell me “just keep swimming his little pengutimous (hippo mixed with penguin)” he would tell everyone the same — just keep swimming, keep moving through life and he will be your angel above!!” continued Brooke.
“He had a way with making people laugh!! Dallas was an exceptional body builder, but I didn’t see him for that .. I saw him for HIM AND HIS HEART!!”
Here is how the WWE Superstar concluded her post:
He is the best individual I have ever met– my ying to my yang.. finished my sentences and knew what I was thinking before I’d say it!! We had it all figured out – new WWE superstar “Big country” & “country strong” mixed tag team!!! — you were my life , you are my life.
I still smell u and feel ur presence, NEVER LEAVE MY SIDE — like I have always asked; and u said NO NEVER Mrs. McCarver.
I had your back and I knew you had mine!! Your our angel– STAYED TUNED FOR A NONPROFIT I have started — and as well as a memorial service as details will be out soon!

Dallas McCarver, Professional Bodybuilder, Dies from Choking
Dallas McCarver, a world famous bodybuilder who rose to national prominence in 2011, tragically died this week after choking on food at his Florida home.
He was 26 years old.
Standing at 6’1” tall and weighing close to 300 pounds, McCarver finished first in the NPC Hub City Fitness Quest Junior Heavyweight category six years ago.
A member of the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness, McCarver was known as “Big Country” and had over 472,000 Instagram followers at the time of his passing.
According to McCarver’s girlfriend, WWE Superstar Dana Brooke, the bodybuilder was found unconscious Monday night by a friend at his home shortly after they spoke on the phone.
Brooke tells TMZ that McCarver told her he was about to make some dinner and that the final thing he said to her was:
“I love you. Goodbye.”
Brooke explains to the celebrity gossip site that McCarver died after choking on food… that there does not appear to be signs of foul play… and that there’s no indication McCarver was trying to harm himself.
He was in the gym working out just a few hours before the incident took place.
“We are shocked and saddened by this and pass our immediate thoughts and condolences to Dallas McCarver’s family and loved ones,” Tweeted RXMuscle.com in response to the sad news.
Just last year, McCarver placed eighth in the 2016 Mr. Olympia competition.
He was considered one of the sport’s brightest and youngest stars.
In March of this year, McCarver collapsed on stage at the 2017 Arnold Classic Australia, but there were no signs afterward of any long-term or significant health problems.
We don’t believe this fall played any role in his death.
We send our condolences to the family members, friends and loved ones of Dallas McCarver and we’ll update this story with more news at it breaks.
May he rest in peace.
