Machine Gun Kelly is remembering his late friend Luke “The Dingo” Trembath.
On Friday (March 7), the 34-year-old musician shared a heartfelt tribute on social media to the professional snowboarder, who passed away on Feb. 28 at the age of 38. The cause of Trembath’s death has not been disclosed.
“Crazy…I didn’t even cry this hard when my dad died,” MGK wrote on Instagram alongside a photo gallery with snapshots of his late pal. “I’ve lost a lot of friends, but I’ve never lost a brother. We’ll never get another Dingo on this planet.”
The rapper-turned-rocker continued, “A true rockstar without ever needing to make a song, the most loyal, loud, charismatic, funny, and annoying human I’ve ever had the honor of knowing.”
Kelly also reflected on the painful moment of telling his 15-year-old daughter, Cassie, about Trembath’s passing. “Telling my daughter you’re gone was one of my hardest phone calls, because she loved you so much,” he wrote. “And I’ll never forget when she was too young to understand your name was Dingo so she called you Ping Pong.”
MGK added that he feels Trembath is “up there” with his baby with Megan Fox, who is expecting later this year. “Dressed up in a hilarious costume making them laugh, getting ready to send them down,” the pop-punk star wrote. “I couldn’t ask for a more bittersweet birth blessing.”
He concluded his emotional tribute with, “Life will always be less without you, but legends never die. we’ll all miss you brother.”
Kelly also shared several throwback videos of Trembath on his Instagram Stories.
Trembath’s death was announced last month on social media by Monster Energy, which produced his UNLEASHED podcast.
Trembath began competing in snowboarding at the age of 9, and by 13, he had joined Team Australia, traveling to events around the world, according to Authority Magazine.
