Trembath was known for his larger-than-life personality and infectious energy. He co-starred in the TV series The Adventures of Danny and the Dingo and co-hosted Monster Energy’s UNLEASHED podcast.
“This morning, we learned of the passing of our beloved Wy’East Mountain Academy Board member and cherished friend, Luke Trembath. Much of the world knew him as the “Dingo,” but we knew him as “Luke,” a man with a deep desire to spread love and help empower youth.
Throughout his early years as a professional snowboarder and during his time helping to create the iconic Grenade Gloves brand, Luke was a welcomed friend of ours each summer at Windells and High Cascade. As Luke matured and reflected upon his younger days, he confided in us that he felt a deep need to give back and help guide the younger generations. Out of this desire, he co-founded Find Your Grind, a modern platform helping students “navigate the future of work, build essential skills, and gain the confidence to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.”
Luke’s values and skill set were a natural fit for Wy’East Mountain Academy, making him one of our earliest board members. His latest effort with our school was in the concept, design, and funding of our new Learning Lab, an inspiring educational resource center to be constructed in the heart of our Mt. Hood campus. Slated for construction in 2026, the Learning Lab will feature Luke’s vision of having Find Your Grind digital resource stations to aid Wy’East Academy students in turning their passions into careers.
To honor Luke’s dedication to youth wellness, his significant contributions to Wy’East Mountain Academy, and for his vision with this new project, the Learning Lab will officially be dedicated to Luke Trembath.
There is not yet any mention of memorial services for Luke, but we’ll provide an update when there is.”
Industry figures and celebrities have expressed their grief over Trembath’s untimely passing. Tony Hawk praised him as “The Great Connector in our fragmented world,” while NASCAR champion Kurt Busch vowed to race with Trembath’s “Aussie Dingo spirit sitting shotgun”.
Trembath co-founded Find Your Grind, an organization that helps students prepare for the future, and co-founded Grenade Gloves.
