That's tough! People who bring joy and happiness should not go this way. RIP!

His influence on young fans may have been the most since Colin McRae, especially with his input and name attached to the popular rally game, DiRT3.
Rally in Peace, Ken Block #43.

Remember Ken´s off at Leustu 1 (SS14) in 2012. After last car had passed me and my son Simon went 3K from Saakoski yellow house up to the corner he went off and lost a wheel. MSport people was just arriving and he stood there holding his child in his arms. Calm despite what happened. When he was asked he just explained how it happened. Very nice and polite.
Same corner I was spectating with Pantealex and his Jämsään friends in 2019...

You just know he was one of the guys who would have kept endlessly rallying, racing and doing stunts. Some just have motorsport in their veins.
I remember him going viral on Youtube with his gymkhanas in the 2000s and basically becoming an icon.
RIP Ken
