It’s not every day that Rob Gronkowski gets serious. The guy is a walking (and breathing) definition of chaos—spiking footballs, cracking jokes, chugging beer (and Monster Energy), and living life like every day is a Lombardi parade. But even the biggest personalities have moments that hit differently. And this one? This one stings.
The larger-than-life former Patriots and Bucs TE took to social media with a heavy heart, mourning the loss of his good friend, Luke ‘The Dingo’ Trembath. If you followed extreme sports—or just had a pulse—you knew Dingo. A snowboarding icon, a voice of action sports, and the life of every room he walked into. And for Gronk, he was more than just a Monster Energy teammate. He was family.
“You’re gonna be missed big time @thedingoinsnow,” Gronk wrote. “Always brought the juice and will forever be a beast.” And let’s be real—when Gronk says you “brought the juice,” that’s high praise. This was a guy who lived for the moment, just like Gronk himself. Whether on a board, behind a mic, or just hyping up a crowd, Dingo had that rare ability to make everything bigger, better, and way more fun.
Gronk and Dingo’s bond went beyond just Monster Energy sponsorships and wild interviews. They were cut from the same cloth—two guys who refused to let life be boring. When Gronk signed his multi-year deal with Monster back in 2015, it wasn’t just about slapping a logo on a helmet. It was a perfect match. Monster was loud, bold, and unpredictable. So was Gronk. And so was Dingo.
But now, Gronk finds himself in unfamiliar territory—dealing with the loss of a friend who felt invincible. The guy who could turn any moment into an all-time memory is gone, and the impact is being felt across the sports world. Monster Energy called him “the heartbeat of our family.” Gronk called him “a good man.” And for those who knew him, both are true.
RIP, Dingo. You’ll be missed big time.
