The porsche was later found and the driver Jeffrey David Kirby, a 51-year-old resident of Costa Mesa, CA was arrested and charged with vehicular Manslaughter and driving under the influence.
Tapout released this statement Wednesday afternoon:
“It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we must regretfully confirm the passing of our beloved friend, brother and co-founder Charles 'Mask' Lewis following a car accident that occurred last night. We are currently in the process of setting up a memorial service in his honor and will release more details as they become available.
"Many thanks to all for the outpouring of blessings and well-wishing during this incredibly difficult time.”
