We haven’t even begun to process this yet, but Ken Block, action sports visionary, DC Shoes co-founder, rally car driver, Hoonigan co-founder, and all-around incredible person, husband, and father died today (Monday, January 2, 2023) in Wasatch County, Utah when the snowmobile he was riding reportedly flipped on top of him, according to TMZ Sports. Ken was 55.
According to the Wasatch County Sheriff’s Office, Block was riding a snowmobile at around 2 PM on a steep slope when the vehicle suddenly upended and landed on top of him. . . “Mr. Block was riding with a group but was alone when the accident occurred,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement. Officials say he was pronounced dead on scene due to injuries he suffered during the accident.
We are completely gutted. Our thoughts are with his wife Lucy and his three kids. (The photo above was the Block Family Christmas photo from their recent trip to Baldface Lodge.)
