Traurige Nachricht aus den USA. Skateboard und East Coast Legende Keith „Huf“ Hufnagel ist gestorben. Dies gab sein Boardsponsor am Donnerstag gegen ca 23.00 Uhr deutscher Zeit bekannt.
Keiths Clothingfirma HUF gab bekannt, dass Hufnagel seit 2.5 Jahren gegen den Krebs in seinem Gehirn ankämpfte. Er hielt länger durch als die Prognosen es voraussagten.
Rest in Peace Keith.
Real Skateboards:
Words escape us, and they will never be enough.
Anything written could never truly describe how much your friendship, influence, everything you did – means to so many people.
You created a blueprint for how it should be done, with power, grace, and respect. You showed us that anything could be accomplished if you put your heart and effort into it. You were a true friend, mentor, and inspiration.
There will never be a day you’re not with us, in our hearts and thoughts.
Forever. We Love You.
We are absolutely heartbroken to deliver the news today that HUF founder Keith Hufnagel has passed away.
Keith battled brain cancer for the past 2.5 years. And though he beat the odds and fought back much longer than his diagnosis permitted, he ultimately and unfortunately lost the fight.
Keith was not only the ‘HUF’nagel in HUF. He was the heart and soul of this brand. He built and brought together a community of people like no one else could. Keith paved the way for all of us – as a respected professional skateboarder, shop owner, brand founder, footwear and apparel designer, creative director, and industry leader. He showed us how to do it, and how do it right. Keith loved skateboarding and the culture around it. He did things his way and did them for the right reasons. He inspired so many of us across the globe. But above anything else, Keith loved and supported the people around him. He would do anything for his friends, family and children. He passionately wanted to see others succeed. And we all loved him for it.
Keith’s legacy will continue to live on at HUF. Today, tomorrow and forever.
Rest in peace, Keith.
