Wow, I just checked Transworld's website www.skateboarding.com and in the new section it had a little link and I clicked on it. It said Van died today and the cause of death was unknown at this point, he was only 24 years young. I would never of heard of him if I didn't like and buy his version if the Vans Chukka Lows.

My dearest condolences, apologies and hope goes out to the Wastell family.
