Mr Trembath was also a columnist at independent American imprint Snowboard Magazine.

On Thursday, the magazine’s publisher Jeff Baker said Mr Trembath was “gone far too soon” and made an “everlasting impact on the culture” in tribute posted to Snowboard Magazine’s social media.

“My fondest memory of Dingo was EVERY TIME I saw him in person. Whether it was a day or a year since you last saw him, Dingo always welcomed you with a big warm hug, huge smile and a fun story”, Mr Baker wrote.

“We loved having him around. His infectious personality eventually led to a monthly column in our print mag where he graced us with his charisma, character and personality for a couple seasons.

“Snowboarding is left with a void that can’t be filled but we will always cherish the memories we have with Dingo. Sending deepest condolences to Luke’s family. Rest in peace brother.”
