Lewis Kristian Marnell[1] (1982–18 January 2013) was a professional skateboarder from Melbourne, Australia.[2] Marnell died in January 2013, following complications that were related to Type 1 Diabetes, a condition that was originally diagnosed for Marnell when he was 10 years of age.[3]

Early life

Marnell was born in 1982 in Melbourne, Australia and grew up in Australia and, later, Sweden. He dropped out of high school in Sweden and moved back to Australia to pursue a career as a professional skateboarder. In 2008, Marnell provided his perspective on leaving school: "I actually do wish that I just did it, straight up and got it out of the way. I ended up just dropping out. I went to a bunch of schools and was always behind. It became really repetitive, go to year 10, drop out, start year 10 again, drop out." Marnell continued to travel between Australia and Sweden before finally settling in Australia in 2002.[4] Marnell has also spoken about his time in Sweden, living with father, Jan Marnell, who was a television producer at the time:

Sweden, I moved to Sweden in ’96. My dad is Swedish, he moved over there from Australia, lived there for 6 months and after 6 months he asked me if I wanted to come out there and live there for a bit. It was only supposed to be a year but it ended up being 7. I ended up staying there for a while, did some school, did some skating, and tried the Swedish food. It was good.[5]

Marnell also discussed the Swedish climate in relation to Australia:

Sweden has long winters, but their short summers are amazing. Australia is easy living, but so far away from everything ... It's pretty hard for anyone to deal with long cold winters, but being a skateboarder and dealing with it is way harder. I used to play a lot of video games and skate the local indoor park. But you get bored of skating the same old park everyday for like nine months. I tried snowboarding a couple of time; it was pretty fun. My homie's dad owned a house in the hills and I would get to go kick it there sometimes and snowboard.[6]

Skateboarding career

Marnell was initially sponsored by Menace Skateboards and Axion Footwear, before signing with Nike SB, Volcom and Almost Skateboards.[2] Prior to his promotion into the professional ranks of global skateboarding with the Almost company, Marnell was featured on the inaugural cover of the publication, Pop Magazine.[7]

Volcom

Marnell was featured in the Volcom video, Chichagof, a part that he shared with fellow Australian skateboarder, Dustin Dollin, as well as the video, Let's Live.[8][9] Marnell was also a resident at a house owned by Volcom that was located in Newport Beach, California, United States (US). Australian skateboard photographer, Andrew Mapstone, wrote a series, entitled "Now and Then", for the Volcom website, stating, "Joe [Pease], Lewis, Shane [Cross] and I spent months away from home in California’s Newport Beach living at the Volcom Surf House on the sand. We had the most amazing time and we really lived life to the fullest."[10]

In 2004, Cross and Marnell filmed together in Melbourne, at the time that the Globe World Cup was held, and Australian skateboard and music videographer, Chris Middlebrook (Nike SB team manager/filmer and formerly a filmer for the Blank clothing company[11]) relayed in a mid-2011 interview: "He was staying at Lewi’s house and I picked them up the morning after the SOTY [Skater of the Year] party looking a bit worse for wear and we go to this 4 stair/footpath gap to road. Shane falls asleep in the van while Lewis goes to work on it. It’s dark by time we finish."[12] Marnell left the Volcom team following the release of Let's Live.

Nike SB

Marnell was one of the first skateboarders to be sponsored by the Nike SB brand and, in 2007, he was the only 'official’ Australian skateboarder on the international team. Marnell explained that he was recruited to the team when "they kinda rang me out of the blue one day when I was in Melbourne in 2004, asking me if I liked the shoes to skate in and it all just blew up from there."[13] Marnell remained with Nike SB for the entirety of his time as a sponsored skateboarder, stating:

You get treated like a professional athlete with Nike. And that’s a good thing. Its weird cos I’m just a skateboarder….but I guess we are athletes in one way or another. The fact also that they are a massive company allows them to give us a lot more support than most others. Things are always sorted and there are very little hiccups when we’re on the road or at events.[13]

Marnell was featured in a promotional Internet clip for the re-engineered Dunk model shoe, a model that he favoured and frequently wore in skateboard video footage. A print advertisement for the re-engineered model was also released and featured Marnell performing a trick at the Melbourne Museum,[14] a famous international skateboarding location that had been used by professional skateboarder, Daewon Song, in his Skate More video part.[15] In 2008, Marnell appeared with fellow Australian professional skateboarder, Alex Campbell, in a 2008 promotional video for the Australian Nike SB team that was filmed by Middlebrook.[16]

Marnell appeared in the Nike SB videos, Nothing But The Truth,[1] Don't Fear the Sweeper[17] and SB Chronicles Vol. 1.[18][19]

Almost

Marnell's inaugural video part for the Almost company was in the Song/Chris Haslam miniramp video project, Cheese and Crackers—Marnell was introduced as a new team member with the inclusion of his part in the "Bonus" section of the DVD release and Curtis Mayfield's "Move On Up" is the soundtrack to the part.[20] Marnell achieved professional status for the company in January 2008[7] and Song (co-founder and co-owner of Almost) and longtime videographer, Socrates Leal,[21] filmed a spoof video part to welcome Marnell. The video, entitled "Almost Filmer Asshole", is shot through the lens of a "poacher" (someone who is attempting to film footage of another skateboarder—usually a professional skateboarder—when that person has not been given permission to do so) who throws Marnell's first professional Almost skateboard deck into the view of the camera, upon being caught by Song and Leal; the video was published onto the Almost website and YouTube. Marnell's first board graphic featured a lion waving a Rastafarian flag.[22]

A cameo appearance from Marnell appears in Song's 2011 solo part, New Year's Dae, released through the Berrics website, and a full video part from Marnell is featured in the 2012 Almost video, 5 Incher.[23][24][25]

Thunder and Spitfire

Marnell was sponsored by the Deluxe Distribution company, based in San Francisco, California, US, and rode for the Thunder skateboard truck and Spitfire wheel brands[26]—Marnell appeared in an Internet video advertisement for Thunder, in which he executes a skateboard trick called a "tailslide".[27]

The Cream

Marnell was the first sponsored rider for an Australian skateboard ointment product, "The Cream", started in late 2012 by Duncan Ewington and Kris Whiting.[28] The product, used to aid skateboarders with injuries, uses a formula that contains "ingredients [that] have been used for hundreds of years in different homoeopathic uses." Ewington stated that "we've just strengthened the formula and combined a number of ingredients to make an ultimate aid".[29] Marnell produced a promotional video for the product in which he predominantly skateboards in Sweden.[30]

Sponsors

At the time of his death in January 2013, Marnell was sponsored by Almost, Thunder, Spitfire, Nike SB, Modus and The Cream.

Awards

Marnell received the "Skater of the Year" award from Australian skateboarding magazine, SLAM, in 2008.[31]

Personal life

Diabetes

In a 2008 interview with British online magazine, Caught in the Crossfire, Marnell explained the relationship between alcohol use and his diabetes:

That’s my no no. I had to cut the alcohol out of my diet. I’m diabetic y’see. One of my best mates Dustin Dollin called me one night and was like "Hey Lewis, you should come out, meet us for some drinks and we’ll party". Met up with him in the city at this place called Pony Bar in Melbourne, little place where everybody knows each other. I went there hung out, not long at all. Maybe like 4 hours. I had maybe 6 beers, didn’t really get drunk, went home and woke up in the morning. Went to have a sip of water and as soon as I swallowed it, I just started throwing up! Anytime I tried to eat or drink I would just throw up. I did that for 2 days and then went to the doctor who sent me to the emergency room. That’s when I had to quit drinking because I nearly died.[5]

Marnell explained in a 2010 interview with ESPN, "I really have to monitor my blood sugar levels a lot and make sure I always got some sweet stuff with me in case the levels drop too low." Marnell further stated that he could "live pretty free" but in terms of food, "a salad ain't gonna cut it; I need wholesome."[6]

Marriage

Marnell was married to longtime partner, Nami, in late 2012 in Melbourne. Photos from the event were published by Marnell onto his Instagram profile and a selection of these pictures appeared on Marnell's Facebook fan page following his death in January 2013.[32]

Death

An official announcement on 20 January 2013 revealed that Marnell had died in the 48 hours prior to the announcement—details of the passing were not provided.[33] Marnell's mother then posted the following statement that was published by European skateboard publication, Sidewalk:

FYI and to clear up any quandries relating to Lewis’ sad & untimely passing, he had a massive hypoglycemic reaction which did not respond to ingested glucose. He was at home and was discovered by his wife around 6.30 on Friday night Melb time. It was not possible to resuscitate him and we are all still trying to come to terms with this tragedy. We ask everybody to send out thoughts and prayers of love and comfort. Please keep his memory alive and let this not be a terrible waste.[34]

Marnell had released Almost and Nike video parts in the 18 months prior to his death—5-Incher[24][35] and Nike SB's The SB Chronicles – Vol. 1.[36] Eight months prior to his death, Marnell had also appeared in the Transworld video, The Cinematographer's Project, as part of Middlebrook's Australian montage section, alongside skateboarders such as Jake Duncombe, Nick Boserio and Matt Mumford.[6]

Song stated on his Instagram profile, "@lewismarnell you are a true inspiration brotha and will be missed thank u for showing the world your amazing gifts, and thank u for being such a positive,kind and giving friend to all! RIP".[37] Song then published another photograph on January 21, 2013, stating, "Shot this a while back!! reminded me of #lewismarnell 🙏 !! freedom is a gift and love and respect for each other makes for a better world !! #sorryboutpreaching".[38]

Marnell's other teammates, Cooper Wilt and Haslam, also posted tributes on their respective Instagram profiles; Wilt wrote:

Today was rough one... Woke up to the news that Lewis Marnell had passed away. A great friend and teammate for the last 6 and a half years. Things just won't be the same without him — he's gone too soon but I'm glad to know that he made the most of his life! He traveled nonstop, met and married a great girl, and got to skateboard for a living — all with a huge smile on his face. Gonna miss him and remember him always, a true legend — Lewis Marnell!![39]

On 20 January 2013, Haslam posted a photo of Marnell seated on a purpose-built bicycle that Marnell had constructed,[40][41][42] whereby a set of speakers is situated on a platform at the front of the bicycle.[43] Luis Cruz, Almost's brand manager, posted the following tribute to the Almost Skateboards Instagram profile: "We are privileged to have had Lewis Marnell part of the Almost family. He will be loved and remembered for ever. RIP brother… you will be greatly missed."[44]

Fellow Nike team riders, Paul Rodriguez[45][46] and Shane O'neill, also published tributes on the Internet.[47] The Nike Skateboarding website featured a large photo of Marnell on its homepage and published the following tribute:

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we are to inform you of the passing of our longtime professional rider friend, Lewis Marnell. A skater who's incredible trademark pop could only be matched by the warmth of his smile, Lewis was an amazing person both on and off his board and will be truly missed. Our deepest condolences to his family and friends. Rest In Peace.[48]

Marnell's death occurred during the production of the second volume of the SB Chronicles video series and he had not yet released a signature model shoe with the brand.

All four of the major skateboarding media outlets in the US—Transworld Skateboarding,[33] The Skateboard Mag,[49] Skateboarder and Thrasher—published specific tributes for Marnell.

The tribute from Thrasher magazine, published on 19 January 2013, stated:

As skateboarders we bond together as one true global family. When one of us passes, we all feel the pain. Anyone will tell you that Lewis Marnell was a great person, both on and off his board. We miss him way too much already, but we won't forget.[50]

In 2012, Marnell had filmed a "Firing Line" segment for Trasher that showed him executing a line of tricks at the Melbourne Museum while wearing an Australian Aboriginal flag t-shirt.[51]

Editor of Skateboarder magazine, Jaime Owens, published a photo tribute to Marnell on 23 January 2013, accompanied by a passage written by Owens—the final section of the passage read:

He made us listen to reggae constantly in the van while he was riding shotgun and I hate reggae but it was alright because Lewis ruled. He was a genuine and very humble guy that I felt immediately close to, like we had been friends for a long time. I still can’t believe that Lewis is gone. My thoughts go out to all of friends, families and fans around the world. You will be missed brother. R.I.P. Lewis Marnell 1983-2013.[52]

Owens had initially posted a "RIP" message on the magazine's website on 19 January 2013, stating, "Details are still coming in but our thougths and prayers go out to Lewis’ family and friends. We will miss you brother. R.I.P."[53]

The Berrics website, co-owned by professional skateboarders, Steve Berra and Eric Koston, was dedicated to Marnell on 21 January 2013, and the following words were published on its cover page: "We will see you in another life and it will be much more grand than this one. Until then, you will be missed our brother." Berra then introduced the day of dedication by writing, underneath a black-and-white silhouette photograph of Marnell:

He didn't come very often, but when he did, we were always in such awe how a guy so nice and so good skated to the beat of his own drum without feeling the pressure of having to skate to everyone else's. Usually, a guy with the kind of talent Lewis had would have a style and look that you've all seen before, the fact that he didn't is what made him even more special. In honor of him, we're taking today to post those times where he blessed the Berrics with his original style and one of a kind presence. He will be missed dearly by his friends, his family, and the entire world of skateboarding. -- sb[54]

Marnell had filmed a "Trickipedia Tuesdays" segment for the Berrics, in which he performs a "nollie bigspin heelflip",[55] a "Mini Bangin!"[56] and a "Text Yoself Beefo Yo Wreck Yoself" (with professional skateboarder, Darrell Stanton).[57]

On 24 January 2013, well-known skateboard videographer, Fred Mortagne—responsible for Flip Skateboards' Sorry video[58] and most of the videos of the Cliche skateboard company[59][60][61][62][63]—published a video onto his YouTube profile, featuring Marnell and Dollin in Melbourne, filming and skateboarding with a touring Cliche team in 2003.[64] Mortagne wrote, as a tribute to Marnell:

Then we came to Melbourne in 2003 with the Cliché team to film for Bon Appétit, and him and Dustin Dollin took really good care of us, bringing us to their super good spots. Lucas [Puig] and Lewis clicked together pretty good. There was a bunch of tricks Lucas wanted to do, but Dustin was always "no Lewis already did it on that spot!".[64]

Two video compilations were also published on the Internet in memory of Marnell, with one compilation produced by skateboard videographer, Manolo—Manolo used two reggae songs as the soundtrack for his video (Toots & The Maytals' "Pressure Drop" and Jimmy Radway & The Fe Me Time All Stars' "Wicked Have To Feel It"), as it was the favoured musical style of Marnell.[65][66]

Skateboarding Australia (SbA), the Australian, government-funded peak body for skateboarding in that country,[67] also published a tribute on the internet. Morgan Campbell, from SbA, wrote:

An extremely gifted, generous-souled human left us over the weekend. The skateboarding world bows its collective head in disbelief that Lewis Marnell has passed away. Lewis was a global citizen who had friends and navigated adventures on every portion of the planet. We will miss you Lewis. You will continue to inspire for generations to come. Wishing all the strength to his friends and family during this devastating time.[67]

Numerous Facebook tribute fan pages were created for Marnell after his death, featuring artwork and written tributes,[68][69][70][71] and a mural was painted at a skate park in Australia.[72]

As of 25 January 2013, an additional two murals had been painted in Marnell's home city of Melbourne as tributes to the late skateboarder—Jonas Marnell, Lewis' older brother, and an Australian artist and owner/founder of Ethix Design, painted both murals in the suburb of Fitzroy; also, both murals were painted with aerosol paint on roller doors. The first mural is a reproduction of Marnell's first professional skateboard graphic with Almost,[73][22] while the second mural depicts an image of Marnell's head in Rastafarian colours, with an encircled "RIP LEWIS" written underneath.[74]
