Just saw that as well. He lived in my hometown, Park City. Horrible news.

That's tragic and terrible.

This winter is taking some casualties, from Block's passing to actor Jeremy Renner's snowcat running him over and nearly killing him.

Very sad indeed. He had the kind of persona that would make just about anyone feel as if he was invincible at virtually anything he did. Which of course isn't so. Condolences to his family.

That’s awful. He was a genuinely nice guy.

He had a gift. I recall the first time my brother showed me one of his youtube videos. Unbelievable that anyone could have such control of an otherwise out of control car...

That's really sad to hear. He was a good guy from all accounts.

Big Fan of Ken's here. I have a relative that had worked closely with him and his outfit and they had nothing but great things to say about him. Definitely driven but always approachable and genuine.

He will be missed.
