The extreme sports community is mourning the loss of professional snowboarder Luke "The Dingo" Trembath, who passed away at age 38. His sponsor, Monster Energy, confirmed the news on Feb. 28.
“Our Dingo. Our Monster family is heartbroken today, and we honor the legendary Luke ‘The Dingo’ Trembath,” Monster Energy shared in a statement on X (formerly Twitter). “His passion and energy were unmatched, bringing life to everything he touched.”
The company added, “We’ll always remember his iconic laugh, love for racing suits, and his remarkable ability to connect with everyone he met. Here’s to you, Dingo — deeply missed, forever remembered.”
A cause of death has not been disclosed. E! News has reached out to his representative for comment.
Trembath, an Australian native who began snowboarding professionally in the U.S. at 17, was fondly remembered by friends and fellow athletes like Danny Kass, his co-star on Danny & The Dingo and cohost of the UNLEASHED podcast with 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.”
On March 4, Rob Dyrdek paid tribute to Luke by sharing a series of photos, writing, “I have never met another human being like the Dingo. I’ve yet to meet someone with a heart and soul as pure as his. You can feel it in every tribute post — no matter who you were or where you came from, you felt an instant connection with 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.”
