Hawk wrote: “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.
“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.”
Canadian Lavigne said: “You have always lifted up your friends and we will continue to feel your light when we talk about you.
“Thank you for some of the best times, the best laughs and now the best memories. We love you for ever and ever.”
Palmer, who hosted the Unleashed Podcast with Trembath posted: “I know I need to say something about Dingo, but honestly, losing him feels unreal.
“I’m in Palm Springs with my best friend trying to escape the pain, but Dingo was the heart and soul of everything good. I’ll miss him forever.
“Please, tell your loved ones how much they mean to you. Dingo always knew how I felt – he touched so many lives.
“I miss you already, my friend. My heart is broken. Love you all.”
Trembath started competing in snowboarding aged just nine and joined the Australian national team by his teens.
After retiring, he became an ambassador for Monster Energy.
And Monster posted: “Our Dingo. Our Monster family is heartbroken today and we honor the legendary Luke “The Dingo” Trembath.
