According to the Associated Press, Arne's dad Steve Backstrom told King TV in Seatle that he's "naturally sad," but added his son "had 29 pretty awesome years and a very quick ending."
A friend quoted in the AP article made a great point: "We all thought he was immortal." Yep. That we did, and that he was. An old soul - too good to die so young but probably way too good to be trapped inside one body for too long.
As the friend went on to say: "He's just the smartest, athletic, humble, stoic person. He was just a great example for everyone."
Coach Mariah prepared for the workout on Saturday at Westlake Crossfit.
