The world of extreme sports is mourning the loss of one of their own.
Luke “The Dingo” Trembath, a professional snowboarder who later starred on the Fuel TV series Danny & The Dingo, has died, his sponsor Monster Energy confirmed Feb. 28. He was 38.
“Our Dingo. Our Monster family is heartbroken today and we honor the legendary Luke ‘The Dingo’ Trembath,” the statement shared on X (formally known as Twitter) read. “His unparalleled passion and energy were infectious, lighting up everything he touched.”
“We’ll forever remember his iconic laugh, his love for racing suits, and his genuine ability to connect with everyone he met,” the company continued. “Here’s to you Dingo, you’ll be deeply missed and forever remembered.”
A cause of death has not been revealed. E! News has reached out to Luke’s rep but has not heard back.
Following the news of his passing, the Australia native—who began snowboarding professionally in the U.S. at 17—was remembered by fellow athletes and friends like Danny Kass, who starred alongside Luke on Danny & The Dingo and cohosted the UNLEASED podcast alongside him and Brittney Palmer.
“I have nothing but incredible memories of you Luke,” the Olympian began his Feb. 28 tribute. “You stood by me through anything and everything. #I’m blessed to have had so many adventures, laughs, tears, and cheers together. You proved to the world that anything is possible. You inspired people to believe they could achieve anything. You were a rock to so many and would do anything for your friends and family.”
“Thank you to everyone who has reached out in support, my heart is with all of you,” Danny continued. “I love you @thedingoinsnow and will never stop. I wish we could do it all over again and make even more mistakes. These photos are just a few so please share more with me and the world.”
Tony Hawk, meanwhile, remembered Luke’s infectious energy.
“Words cannot describe the joy this guy brought to every gathering. His laughter was magically contagious, and he revered our culture because he was shaped by it,” the professional skateboarder wrote Feb. 28. “My favorite memory is teaming up with him at @mammothfilmfestival for a celebrity bowling tournament and destroying Dennis Rodman’s team in the process.”
“It was been fodder for great stories ever since,” he continued. “Thank you Dingo for being The Great Connector in our fragmented world. We were lucky to have you. The void you leave behind cannot be filled.”
Rob Dyrdek honored Luke with a series of pictures on March 4, writing, “I have never met another human being like the Dingo. I have yet to meet someone who has a heart and soul as a pure as his. You can feel it in every tribute post. Every person regardless of what type person or what world you were from you felt instantly connected to him when you met him.”
“Every person, every time would feel that energy every time you connected with him,” he continued. “He was really truly a one of one and will be forever mourned by all of us that had the privilege of being his friend.”
