Such a talented person he was ! He was always so cheerful and energetic, never expected this tragic end.

Rest in peace Legend, you will be missed !

We just started the year and lost one of the most talented guy in his field .

I still remember , when i watched his Gymkhana 9 video on my nokia lumia . The way he handled that Focus RS was jaw dropping.
Many Gymkhana videos came but the most iconic for me were the ones with the Focus RS and the 1000+ HP Mustang videos .

His videos were a big part of me growing up . His videos were one of the coolest things i ever watched as a 12 year old .

May he rest in peace . Really disheartened by such a sad news in the morning

Such a sad start to the new year. His Focus RS and 1000hp Mustang were my favourites. Terrific personality. Gone too soon.

Really loved how he handled the Subaru on the airfield! I was imagining how Ricky would handle a Himalayan with him. Not really knew about Ken much, but now I do. RIP.

His sense of car's proportions and deftness with controls was surreal. Absolute legend. May his soul rest in peace.

Another legend left who kept our jaws dropped. Feeling real sad. R.I.P Ken Block

When this news dropped in, I was middle of a discussion at work. And I felt shaken and paused for few moments.

And all the crazy moments starting flashing in my mind and I couldn't sit still.

That's the moment I realised that I was such a fan. Never thought that the news would have such an impact on me.

What an icon he is.. RIP,

I'm sure he Vroomed to heaven in his style.

I was eagerly waiting for the hoonipigasus pikes peak official video.

Legend you will missed. Ride in peace.

Really enjoyed watching his videos, it's an unfortunate loss and gone too soon at a young age of 55.
May his soul rest in peace.

He was a magician. I have feasted my senses to so many of his videos. Motorsports won't be the same
