This is one of my favorite tributes I've seen so far. Made me smile so big. Tony is the fucking shit.

That being said, two days in and I'm still completely heartbroken and don't really believe it. Atiba's ig fucked me up.

I know I'm posting a whole lot in this thread, but I just saw this. Arto's wife posted it, so sweet and so heartbreaking. Definitely brought a tear to my eye.

[Zurg]

Has anyone reached out to Arnie yet? I can't help but feel for him right now.

he cant be long for this world

[ratfink]

i wonder if, in cases like these, his board royalties will support any of his medical bills.
if so, probably buying a dylan board tomorrow, if there's any left.

Again, truly a terrible loss. Someone mentioned this earlier, but my grandmother was actually diagnosed with cancer the next day, similar to someone else who posted in this thread. It is sad, but as strange and cold as this sounds, I'm more accepting of this, as she's 86, battled cancer before, etc. With Dylan however, I have been sad since this unfolded. My buddy and I have been talking back and forth, just thinking how we kept telling ourselves this was not real, and there would be another part, more shoes, and he would be the shooting star he was born to be.

I talk to the Huf rep regularly, and I let them know how sorry I am for the loss for them as a team, and a family. I wasn't going to skate Dylan's shoes anymore, but I can't help it. Slip ons and Sutters. Period.

R.I.P. to an icon.

I was lucky enough to work with Dylan for five years at Analog.  
I met him just after he went pro, got to see him get his first signature shoe with Gravis,
and transition from lanky rail killing teenager to fully grown powerhouse.

His style is what I always admired most, he was just steezy as fuck, doing catalog photo shoots with him was effortless. Any time I doubted one of my designs I'd have Dylan put it on and it immediately became 10 times cooler.  
He was always super cool when saying, 'I'd never wear that.' I'd just immediately scramble to find something else for him,
black or white with no logos, and he'd smile at me like 'don't ever give me a pair of stone washed jeans again, dipshit!. Haha.

I always enjoyed our chain-smoke sessions outside the studio, chatting about our love for Elliot Smith or the latest Conor Oberst record or just random industry shit talk. As cool and grounded as he was I was always very aware that I was working with a one of a kind, and one of the best to ever stand on a skateboard. He was always the coolest guy in the room, even when Dill was around .

His Gravis part was such a huge deal for us as a company and for him as a pro, it changed the game forever.  
Everybody was so proud of him and that project.

His passing is heartbreaking, unfair, and tragic but I think he lived a fuller life than most ever will.  
I was by no means close to him but I know many who were and they don't just love and admire him, they consider him their brother.
He wasn't just loved, he was beloved. He was a beloved figure for so many near and far.  

Roll on DR.

Thanks for sharing, I knew Dylan as well not close, but through mutual friends. This is an extremely hard grieving process, and pieces like this definitely help. Just a massive loss, an icon, a lover, a friend, a brother, and a son to Joe and Dana. I bet he is just meeting Bowie, Lou Reed, and Elliott now, playing riffs, having a laugh.

Ride on forever Dark Brother

I dedicated an entire skate session to doing nothing but impossibles in honor of him and also dedicated to the people who I've personally lost to cancer. I didn't know him at all, but I felt like there was no way he wouldn't recover from his illness. I just wanted to see him out there being vibrant again. I still can't believe it.

The brightest light made dark with us left to adjust our eyes to this darkness. RIP.

[Fecal Fury]

I'll be honest, I didn't break down in tears or anything but I definitely had to sit back in my chair and digest the news for quite a while and having the thought that he has gone pop into my mind at random times over the last few days has really thrown me off.

There's definitely a gaping hole in the scene left in his wake and I don't think a single person can truly tell themselves that they didn't admire at least one aspect of his persona.

He was a complete package that so, so many tried to emulate and failed.

From a completely random kook in NZ, we're gunna miss you Dylan.

[OldieButFrenchie]

Close your eyes
Rest your head
You are dead
We're resolved
Travel safe
Star express
Earth to Earth
Surf the cosmos
Smell the space dust
Find your way home

It still hasn't fully sunk in. He seemed superhuman.

That was a great interview.
I never would have guessed that Dylan was considering getting into computer programming.

It feels like a bad dream. Rest in peace.
