Action sports legend Dave Mirra was found dead on Thursday as the result of an apparent suicide. He was 41 years old, and is survived by his wife and two children.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to @davemirra's family and friends during this extremely difficult time — Greenville Police (@GreenvillePD) February 5, 2016

Mirra held the world record for most X-Games medals up until 2013 with 24 — 23 in BMX, one in rally car, and 14 of them were gold. However, his cultural importance stretches far beyond any half pipe or dirt track; he hosted MTV’s Real World Road Rules Challenge, and had a series of four video games that had countless kids like me trying things at home with our bikes that we definitely shouldn’t have been.

He touched all sorts of people and made us all feel like we were capable of doing impossibly amazing things. He will be sorely missed.
