LEWIS MARNELL RIP

Only the good die young...

R.I.P.

From the Hardflipping little 13 yr old I met all those years ago, to the quality human you turned out to be, thank you Lewis for everything you have ever done both on and off the board....
So much love going out to Nami and his family and friends.

r.i.p brother, have a smoke for Marnell tonight

Had the pleasure to hang with Marnell a handful of times, whether it was those (now cherished) city park and pran sessions or the one time he took me up to his CBD apartment to buy a pair of kicks off him.. i was a nobody and he was someone, always being so genuine with every encounter.

R.I.P Lewis..

very sad RIP

I can't fucken believe this happened. Absolutely devastating news. RIP Lewis. We love you

RIP :( He's still shredding

such sad news :( RIP

Such terrible news.

I wanna see a huge Lewis Marnell tribute mural at Prahran in Rasta colours.....artists, make it happen.

That^^^

So sad, I doubt this is the place for them to be received but regardless all my condolences go out to all who's life was improved by meeting this amazing human being.

anyone know the circumstances surrounding his death??

Lewis was always one of the most underrated professional skateboarder who was always pulling unfathomable hammers ie the bigger Melbourne Museum gap

Great guy, always down for a chat and genuinely cared about what you had to say. He's skating ability was amazing and as a person, he was even better!
I remember talking to Steve Gourlay when we were watching his Chronicles section and saying "how good it must be to shoot photos of such a rad dude"... He told me "it was an honour". He will be terribly missed in the skateboarding world for sure...

Nami, my heart goes out to you and both your Families.
Great man gone way too early... R.I.P brother.

Diabetes can get fucked.

From Lewis' Mum

"FYI and to clear up any quandries relating to Lewis' s sad & untimely passing, he had a massive hypoglycemic reaction which did not respond to ingested glucose. He was at home and was discovered by his wife around 6.30 on Friday night Melb time. It was not possible to resuscitate him and we are all still trying to come to terms with this tragedy. We ask everybody to send out thoughts and prayers of love and comfort. Please keep his memory alive and let this not be a terrible waste"

He mad a reggae mix

never met lewis but i always thought that he would be a really nice, happy dude that was stoked on life, it's awesome to read all these stories that are saying exactly that, but it also makes it that much sadder. sorry to his close friends and family for their loss. best rasta on a skateboard.

RIP

One of those pro's who constantly produced and killed it, never kooked it, and deserved to be making a living out of skateboarding.

So sad, cant get my head around it. Seemed like a great bloke, rest easy.

R.I.P MARNELL

so, so sad

I will miss him....all the Prahran locals will.....he was just such a rad guy and incredible skater. I still can't believe it. Please post the funeral details here.
