She also emphasized that M\u00e9ndez\u2019s life extended far beyond the gym.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cBefore he was a coach, Einar was Yan\u2019s husband, his wife for 30 years, a father to his three daughters. And that\u2019s where today it becomes impossible to measure this loss.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

His wife remembered M\u00e9ndez as \u201cstrong, resilient, kind,\u201d adding that those who knew him understood the type of person he was away from bodybuilding.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cEveryone who knew him knows exactly who Einar M\u00e9ndez was.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
