Skateboarders all over Australia mourn the loss of Jack Diaz – a beloved Sydney filmer and friend to many.

A statement from Pass~Port:

“We lost one of our own last week. The entire Pass~Port Family is grieving the loss of our beloved Jack Diaz.

“Jack embodied everything the brand stood for. His energy and soul will forever be a part of us. His many talents and crafts were shared across various areas of the brand. From managing our Darlinghurst store, to curating the gallery space. His key motivation was always to highlight artists and their creative expression. He contributed heavily to various video projects within Pass~Port and the broader Sydney skateboard community.

“Further to this, he was incredibly in tune with our music offering, guest-hosting our radio show and championing local music, as well as playing in bands himself. His genuine connection to the community, both locally and in remote areas of Australia, was a true testament to what he cared about most – people and place.”

If you or a friend are struggling with mental health, please seek professional help.
