"We're very sad to share the news that Lewis Marnell has passed away. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of his friends and family. We have no more details at this time. Rest in peace Lewis, your memory will live on forever."

Damn shame.. The good die young..

I met him during an almost tour a few years ago and talked heaps about traveling, skateboarding, weed and music. We kept in touch and he gave me lots of advice on traveling. Crazy shit is he just got married too. Hope his family and friends are holding up well.  I just watched his ill part in SB Chronicles Vol 1.

You guys make me feel so important.  I wish I could have read a well articulated response to what I stated earlier instead of someone just deleting a whole thread that included hundreds of responses from other people before I even said anything.  If you don't want to hear my opinion there's a button somewhere near this text where you can go to never hear from me again.  But to delete a thread because you don't like what one person says, that's about as low as burning books so people don't know the truth.  I'll post what I said earlier and hopefully this thread won't get deleted.  If people don't like what I say I really would like a well articulated response as to why they disagree with me so I can better understand it.  However, I don't feel any sadness in hearing that he died aside from the fact that this is going to bring more publicity to his name than ever before and it is going to be capitalized on from the company he sold his soul to.

Lewis Marnell former Nike team rider dies of diabetes oooohh that sounds super marketable for Nike I mean he still is under contract right? im not going to feel bad for the dude because by riding for Nike he probably stole the livelihoods of a lot of skaters that were supporting the people that supported them. Nike bought him because he gave off this pure, self conscious image of a guy who wouldn't do something bad and that's the exact opposite of what he actually did and will probably be most known for at his death. Lewis Marnell deceased Nike rider. I can't wait for them to release his unseen footage and slap a Nike logo right in front of it. I don't know exactly how he died but if it would have been a long and costly death, I am quite certain Nike would have dumped him in a heartbeat if they couldn't profit from it. And he, Lewis Marnell, supported people like that and helped them destroy their competitors that probably would help someone in a time of need like that. Good riddance.

A lot of what you are saying isn't even coherent though? and you're being overly-assumptious about this? Low as people burning books so they don't know the truth? You don't know the truth yet though, no one does. There are some people who view the slap forum who in all likelihood will have known Lewis personally at some stage and this is a time of mourning for them. In terms of the thread for skaters who didn't, appreciation. If you haven't got something nice to say in this situation then don't say anything at all?

I don't even know why I'm giving you the time of day, bit it's because you're so thick

[smellofdeath2]

Fuck you Snowman you self-righteous piece of shit.

RIP Lewis. I never knew him, but he was an amazing skateboarder. Always sad to see somebody pass away so young.

For anybody concerned, I just banned snowman. Anybody who has anything to share but respect, please don't. You're an awful person if you do.

[WeirdBeach]

His switch backside flips were amazing. His skating was amazing in general. RIP Lewis.

Such a bummer, his part in Nothing But The Truth was sooo sick

[Choad Muskrat]

Damn, RIP thats a bummer.

[Richie Jackson]

Snowman, I know you're reading this so I'll try articulate it for you as best I can. We are talking about the loss of a human being. You yourself are one of those. It's a fundamental concept, one worth grasping.

RIP Lewis.

[oldgoodburger]

damn such a shame... rest in peace
