Jake Burton passed away last night surrounded by loved ones and today the entire mountain sports world is mourning. Jake was an absolute pillar of the sport and by all accounts, a stand up dude. We here at Unofficial are deeply saddened by his passing. If you want to honor Jake’s memory it has been asked in leiu of sending flowers to make a donation to The Chill Foundation. DONATE HERE.

Here are few tributes from across the action sports world:

CHILL WAS FOUNDED IN 1995 BY JAKE AND DONNA CARPENTER, FOUNDERS OF BURTON SNOWBOARDS. 

Chill has served more than 25,000 young people since the program began, working with approximately 1,900 youth annually.  We work with social service agencies, mental health agencies, foster care programs, juvenile justice programs, and schools in local communities to select youth participants.  Everything is provided to the youth at no cost.

We focus on the resiliency of our participants to help them reach their full potential and see that there is a path out of their current circumstances. Their current situation doesn’t have to define them or determine their path in life; Chill helps them to realize alternatives beyond the struggles they face.
