TAPOUT Charles Mask Lewis Ferrari CRASH Pictures
Posted by Anthony CarboneMarch 12, 2009 at 9:00 am
Yesterday March 11, 2009, in Newport Beach there was a super deadly crash involving 2 exotic cars and as a result TAPOUT founder Charles “Mask” Lewis was pronounced dead at the scene, a second injured, a third arrested for gross vehicular manslaughter and a fourth person detained by police.
A Newport Beach Police Officer who witnessed the wreck; saw a red Ferrari and a white Porsche “spinning out of control” on Jamboree Road between Bison Avenue and East Bluff Drive at 12:57 a.m. Checkout the very last video, you can see the passenger side turn signal still flashing even though the car was cut in half!
The speed limit on the road is 50 mph.
A female passenger in the Ferrari was ejected during the crash and taken to a hospital, where she was treated and currently in stable condition.
“The vehicle had moderate damage and appeared to be consistent with the car involved in the accident on Jamboree,” Fox said. “They determined that the male had been driving the Porsche, and he was arrested” for gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, he said.
Police identified the driver of the Porsche as Jeffrey David Kirby, 51, of Costa Mesa, and said his bail was set at $1 million. Newport Beach resident Lynn Marie Nabozny, 32, was a passenger in the Porsche and was arrested for public intoxication. She was released about 7:45 a.m. and will not be formally charged, Fox said. He said the investigation is ongoing but that police identified skid marks at the scene “consistent with excessive speeding.”
Newport Beach Lt. Craig Fox said. “The Ferrari hit the curb and then collided with a pole.” The Porsche came to a stop at the scene for a few seconds and then sped away, Fox said. “It was terrible. It was extensive damage to the vehicle,” Fox said, adding that the Ferrari appeared to have split in half.

My prayers go out to the friends and family of Lewis. What an awful thing to happen!
…may God bless Lewis and his family!
dang that suck’s… will kill Ferrari image….LOL
Yeah that sucks, that guy was genuinely a nice guy who gave back to the community very sad news here….
– e
Ferrari’s are fast as hell…. $120,000 down to $0 in a split second!
It’s pretty amazing how he tore his car in half like this. This will be really hard on his friends and his family — combination of being mad at him for doing this and being overwhelmed with sadness and despair.
I am in complete shock over his death. I was, and most definately still am, a fan of his. And what’s with the above posts? This man, a extremely good person, was killed, and the only thing some idiots will post are about the value of a damn car. Screw the car! Charles “Mask” Lewis is dead, and a LOT of people are impacted by his death. I wish some idiots would learn to GROW UP.
Mask drove like an Ass and died like an ass !!
fuck you, small daddy!
Mask, you leave hope and a dream for all of us to follow.Thanks for everything you and your crew for us fans.Much Love, and HATERS only ENVY, and PLEASE REMEMBER KARMA for those who leave a negative message!
Much Love,
Joe 614 Kinney
Ya’ll punks that are joking about this are just sick individuals and you need help! Take a look at yourself in the mirror and figure out where it went wrong for you! Punks!!
Who gives a fuck about the ferrari.?
A legend in MMA has died.
R.I.P Mask you will be missed.
R.I.P BIG BAD MASK WE WILL MISS YOU TAPUOT FOR LIFE…….
Who ever the fuck “big daddy” is you can go fuck yourself…
Your legacy will go on forever. you will be greatly missed. my heart goes out to the tapout crew and family.
I hope the other gets what he deserves… i know my days of street racing are over.
~mask you give us all hope to stive for something that may seem unreachable. Thank you
THAT IS WHAT MONEY DOES TO PEOPLE !!!!!!
YOU WOULD THINK HE WAS OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER .
LIVE FAST DIE FASTER .
Extremely sad news and insane photos.
Met with him long enough to take a picture in Hollywood back in November 08 and seemed like a pretty cool guy. RIP Mask.

I don’t follow the sport of beating each other to a pulp. I’m sure he was a nice guy. I’m sure he gave some back (for tax purposes). However, the fact remains that other people could easily have been killed as a result of his CARELESS actions. At least it was a pole he hit and not some one bringing their sick kid to the hospital! I also agree that the posts here should not be completely without respect. A man died. We can learn from it. What angers people is that he died while racing a car worth more than most of our homes, most likely under the influence and came VERY close to causing the death of other people as a result. He showed no respect for the safety of others, and that’s why he gets so little in return! If a burglar got shot breaking into a home, people wouldn’t jump out and say “he was a nice guy”! They would say he deserved it! Which, if you read past the actual words, is what people are saying here…nice guy or not. Perhaps he was the one who needed to “grow up” …if he had, he might still be here.
Dude, for someone who has built so much to die so senselessly……extreeeeeeeeemly hi speeds are required to tear a chassis apart like that. Thank god the female passenger survived and is stable….to often the one responsible for the crash survives and the innocent dies. When will our success stories stop self destructing…….sad.
R.I.P.
I worked with Charles when he was a Deputy Sheriff with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Dept. It was an honor to work with him and have very fond memories from when he talked about starting TAPOUT. I thought he was crazy, he sure showed us!!!!!!! He followed his dream and we will always remember him. God Bless
first of all you guys talkin trash just need to stop, a good man lost his life and its pathetic that yall would use your time to talk badly about some one who died. RIP MASK

Well said. Those ‘haters’ mean everything above. I’m sure he was a nice guy and was well regarded, but like observer said, he made a STUPID decision that could easily have killed many more people, children included. As it stands, it was just him who was killed, so that’s the good news. If anything, this should be an example to his fans and everyone else showing what poor and careless decisions can end up costing you. I read this stuff in the news and I honestly have little remorse for those involved. If this guy had slammed into a vehicle in which your kids/wife/husband/family, etc. were riding in and killed and/or seriously injured them, you wouldn’t be the first one to be crapping sunshine and daisies for this guy. Only the innocent victims get my sympathy, which, clearly, “Mask” was not.
observer-YOUR AN ASSHOLE!
he wasn’t racing and he wasn’t drinking
he was hit by a drunk driver- as far as giving back it wasn’t for tax purposes
maybe your that way but Mask wasn’t! it was for the love of the sport! A great man like he was is gone and jerk offs like you are still taking up space
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I DIDN’T HEAR ABOUT THIS UNTIL UFC TONIGHT. I AM VERY SHOCKED AND SADDENED BY THIS NEWS. REST IN PEACE MASK. OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH THE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND FANS OF MASK.
Mask was a good guy. He believed in all MMA fighters and gave them hope. It’s sad to see a good person pass. For all u haters, GO F*** ur Mom. In memory of “Mask”. Rest in peace man.
RIP may god bless u
love the mask or hate him the world has lost a great person. Not many people that “make it” give some of it back, he gave back in more ways than one. May god bless him and all his loved ones that will truly miss him! Punkass and skyscrape we feel your loss and pain. GOD BLESS.
I am a huge fan of Tapout I watch all there shows, I even by there gear, I feel like I lost a brother. We will miss you. R.I.P. Mask
dieann…sorry to inform you that he actually was racing and his car split in half when he hit a curb and flew into a pole…i agree the losers who are calling him names are probably just lil punks with bad moms…but calling people names without knowing what even happened is not much better. He was a good man who did good things and inspired others…he made a mistake!…he shouldnt be compared to some scumbag burglar like the goofball above did…bottom line is that he had a wonderful life ahead of him and after all that hard work he lost his life. God bless you mask.
When you watch MMA and get to know the sport, you do feel like you are apart of there lives, even if you’ve never talk in person. It was very shocking for me to hear of his accident. And im truly going to miss him! “Mask” had the best smile and laugh, you just had to like him or love him. Please remember family and friend will be looking at this site and you can impact the family,friends with your harsh words. R.I.P your biggest van GIRLY GIRL!!!
beautiful work in your accomplishments mask.the ufc would not be where they are today without tapout.you inspire us all to achieve exelence.you will be missed.FOR ALL THE BITCH MADE MUTHERFUCKERS,LICK MY FUCKIN BALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuck that really sucks, I would gladly change places with him. He accomplished so much and I haven’t done shit. RIP brother, you will be missed!
Hey, yes it is a tragedy but for all those who leave sorrow messages and poor mask and all that, think on these idiots who kill innocent lives while driving like him…
yes, it is sad but at least there is one less human weapon driving in California streets. Peace
Had the opportunity of meeting Mask in Montreal for the first UFC Canada.
He was a class act, my thoughts are with his friends and family.
MMA has lost another face that any fan of the sport knows. RIP MASK and thanks for what u did for mma, u will be missed.
Hopefully everyone will remember him for starting something from nothing and living the American dream. The guy always seemed real in a business of posers. You will be missed, God speed!
judged by some for “big” persona,
others knew his life on honor…
I am sad when heros die
he’ll find a punkass in the sky !
live on Mask and TapouT. mma is better because of you
My sincere condolences to all family, friends and sports enthusiasts. Mask took the mask of humanity and carried it to a better place. A fan.
wow it aint going to be the same in tapout with out him god bless you mask we are all going to miss you
Mask was a great man and made HUGE accomplishments towards the AMAZING sport of MMA. For all of the immature asshole commenters on his death…you should watch the news!! He wasn’t racing, it was found another man whom was under the influence caused his death. Jeffrey Kirby and HIS EXTREME negligence killed a great man, not his “living life on the edge”. Which BTW-you have one life so you should live a little as long as you dont endanger other lives. Mask was an honorable man and only deserves the best, you shouldn’t judge someone by their views on life or on what they love…everyone is different and that’s what makes each of us GREAT!!
Plus, about the money thing…he started at the bottom and worked his way up. He started selling t0shirts out of the back of a truck and just so happen to become BIG. He was following a dream just as most of us all are. He also helped HUNDREDS of other men take their dream and make it real…how many of us in an average lifetime can say we ACTUALLY helped someone ELSE?? He paid his dues. So for all of you who believe the worth of his life was anything but SPECTACULAR…have you ever tasted your own blood? Have you ever taken a fist to the face and thought of only victory instead of the pain? …of defeat?? I doubt it. And that’s MMA..that’s the courage, and strength Mask stood for. PAIN IS TEMPORARY…GLORY IS FOREVER (my life motto)
I heard about this last night, too, and was frozen where I sat.
I am extremely saddened by this tragic passing of a seemingly genuine good guy turned success story. I watched Tapout and saw how Mask, Punkass & Skyscrape supported the fighters they backed & how true they were to the MMA game. What an incredible loss.
Hopefully, some good can come of his senseless death.
R.I.P. Mask.
u were a cool guy and we will miss u R.I.P mask
MY HEART GOES OUT TO MASK’S FRIENDS AND FAMILY, HE WAS TRULY A BLESSED GUY WHO HELPED ALOT OF PEOPLE. YOU HATERS DON’T KNOW A DAMN THING ABOUT HIM. I BET YOU WONT SEE HIM WHEN YOU GO TO HELL…..
I hate for this to happen but as well all know GOD is in control and we all are going to go I just hope that he knew the lord. I respect him for his humbleness..
My heart goes out to the TAPOUT crew and their families…….what a sad day! Regardless of how he went, he is gone and will never be forgotten. Remember when you speak with ill tongues that this could be your father or son or brother and God help you if you ever find yourself in this great of sorrow. Remember his family and loved ones and respect them and theirs! We have followed MMA and UFC for many years and shop TAPOUT! We loved you and what you stood for. The world will miss your heartfelt smile and many laughs. God be with your family and friends in this time of great sorrow! R.I.P.
R.I.P Mask, TAPOUT 4 Life!!!
I didn’t see any of his fights. What was his record?
I feel no sympathy for this make-up wearing freak. How many times do we have to hear about deaths from street racing. Another example of too much money and too much car, but not enough talent to control the machine or the ego. Keep it on the track and let us professionals do the racing. Thank GOD that there were not any “innocent” people killed.
Jesus Christ this publicity loving DOUCHE BAG fooled you fucks into thinking he died in a car he can’t afford!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!
Ohhhhh!!! That crazy April Fools joke gets me every year!! The pictures of the shredded Ferrari really had me fooled. That guy must be a great fighter. I can’t wait to see his next match. I am a new fan of “The Mask”. Best April Fools prankster ever!!!
Dieann and DarrelL… Your are both IDIOTS.. .your “mask” hero was also speeding. NOw take a deep breath… grab a pic of him and go masturbate to ease your tizzy fits over others’ comments about the recless actions of both of these clowns.
This guy had so much charisma when I saw him on television. He seemed genuine. I hate to see that this mistake he made cost him his life. Lets all learn from this. RIP
It is unfortunate, though at least no bystander died while these two fools raced!
THE MMA WORLD WILL MISS HIM! hE HAD AN ELECTRIC PERSONALITY AND CRAZY LAUGH THAT JUST MADE YOU LIKE THE MAN. THE WAY HE WAS ONE ON ONE WITH THE FIGHTERS TALKIN ABOUT THEIR LIVES AND REALLY GETTIN TO KNOW THEM FOR WHO THEY WERE AND NOT JUST A PAYCHECK. My prayers are with him, his family, and the whole TAPOUT family. WE WILL MISS YOU MASK!!!!!
“I wish some idiots would learn to GROW UP.”
Well, sad to say… if he had done the grown up responsible thing and not been street racing, he would still be alive.
Hope it was worth it!
Least he only managed killed himself. i guess that’s one thing to be thankful for.
A shame and a waste with nothing to blame but himself and an idiotic decision that could have gotten other people killed that were on that road.
I didn’t even meet this man but from the reality shows Tapout did what a stand up individual who earned his keep and worked very hard providing for his friends and family. I respect that in a man. I heard about what happened last night watching ultimate fighter show and was absolutely SHOCKED! My deepest condolences to the friends and families of this great MMA pioneer. Rest In Peace Mask!!!!!!
Remember all you haters, what goes around comes around!
Have some damn RESPECT and DECENCY!
REMEMBER THIS MAN FOR HOW HE LIVED AND THE GOOD HE DID, NOT FOR HOW HE DIED. EVERY ONE WILL DIE SOMEDAY IN SOME WAY, AND WE ALL SPEED SOMETIMES…..
THEY SAY IT’S NOT WHAT U TAKE WITH U WHEN U GO IT’S WHAT U LEAVE BEHIND. U WILL BE REMEMBERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tapout will live on forever without Mask. though it will not be the same God Rest His Soul. All the people that talk smack are only wishing they were as good a man as him. Show some respect. Charlie Mask Lewis you will be in my heart and prayers forever. Tapout may god bless you and stay the way Mask would want it. I no what it is to lose a friend and see family at there lowest, whether you believe in god or not he is there and watching. Though i don’t know the Tapout crew they seem to be a real down to earth group of guys that care and I would give anything to have a chance to chill.
look guys, I linked here from an “automobile” site. So will many others. That’s why all the car comments (some I agree are in very bad taste). Not that yours are in any better taste. Telling me, or anyone else expressing the real truth about what happened here, to go “f__k their moms” is only showing the maturity level of his fan base..and is not helping his memory at all.
I also started at rock bottom and worked my way up. I did it with my brain and not my fists..but I don’t have a problem with either way. (not “hatin”..just making a point) I have a fast car and a fast bike. People who end up in the news this way give us true speed freaks a bad name. Yes I like to go very fast! I just choose to do it on the track and not @ 2AM on a freeway! It’s a controlled risk that all involved understand and are prepared for, it’s all in the same direction and there are rescue personel. I also don’t drink, which greatly reduces my chances of making this type of mistake. I’ve been involved in a major accident. Totalled a “fast” car in the process.. but wasn’t speeding. I was not injured and my car was not SPLIT IN FREAKIN HALF! This takes extreme SPEED. If alcohol was or wasn’t involved, we’ll likely never know (they’re trying to preserve his image and I’m fine with that). That was actually an effort to take some of the blame off of him. I know your idol died…but he made the decision (drunk or not) to reach that kind of speed on a public road and could have killed another persons idol..like a parent, brother or sister. I tried to find the line between anger for what he did and sympathy for those who lost a friend. Anger won. Had he just simply died in a car crash, freak accident or been hit head on by a drunk driver..I would be on the other side with you. Those of us that aren’t blinded by his fame can see the picture clearly: He was racing a porsche, the other guy had been drinking (Mask may have been too), they were going way too fast, one of them lost it, got together and he hit a pole. You can’t look at those pictures and tell me he wasn’t going flat out as fast as that car could go. It is absolutely amazing that anyone in that car lived. We’ve all made mistakes, his could have very easily killed someone innocent and just happened to be in the public eye. I am sorry for all of you who lost a hero…I am even more sorry that the hero was the cause.
just a clarification; Mask was not a consumer of alcohol.
only the good die young.
RIP Mr. Charles “MASK” Lewis
I think anyone whos met, knows, or just knows of Mask will greatly miss him. He was very selfless person. loyal, honest, kind, and respectfull can all be used to discribe him. I met him once at a fight in cali and took a good 15-20 min.s just to talk to some friends and I. He was a great guy who died all too soon, a tragedy among tragedys. R.I.P. – Charles “mask” Lewis Jr.
Do not judge so you won’t be judged.
What happened was a tragedy, remember he had friends and family who are missing him just like all of us.
A good man died, he always said “I don’t know if I will touch a million people, but I might touch the one who will touch a million people.” All he wanted was to make this world a better place. He saw the good in people and all he asked from his crew was “Win or lose, do your best.” and in all reality this is all we can ask of people and do it ourselves.
My prayers are with his family and friends, he will be missed.
I still cant beleive that Mask is Dead. A tragity has struck the MMA world. It is a scar that can never be mended. May he R.I.P
Look…Everyone on the MMA/Tapout side of the story knows what an influence Charles Mask really was. To the sport he will be missed and never forgoten. I’m not here to pick sides between the car lovers and MMA fans/fighters. All I know is that the fact is he’s gone. It doesn’t help to sit here and speculate how it happened or what might have been the influence involved. All I would ask of everybody is to please respect that he was a role model to many people when it came to sports and ethics in the MMA. It doesn’t matter how fast he was or wasn’t going now. Just take a second and realize that this is a human being and that if this was your friend or family member that made the same decision…you would definately be standing up for them too. My condolences to the ENTIRE MMA/Tapout family. Because thats exactly what we are. FAMLIY!!!
mask, may your spirit live on forever. in the cage, all your gear, we will remember you. !!!!
Come on how can they say they weren’t racing hell the say he was speeding and enough to split the car in half when he hit a tree or pole so he was going real fast while in a accident with another sports car so how do they say it wasn’t racing cause were i’m from its a racing charge if your doing a certin ammount over the limit even if there’s not another car involed
My comment above 50kmp 30mph over the limit is a racing charge even if ur not racing just 50 over they charge u with it and impound on the spot
comment above in Ontario Canada
You know, it never ceases to amaze me how many douchebags get on here just to comment things like he drove like an ass.. WTF, This man was an inspiration to me, and soooo many other people. He had an amazing soul and it breaks my heart to see this happen.. These comments hurt the people that loved him, and you are truly scum on the earth for making people feel that way. GET A JOB ..
MASK WAS A STAND UP GUY HE GAVE PEOPLE CHANCES AND HOPE AND DREAMS AND HE WILL ALLWAYS BE REMEMBERED TAPOUT FOR LIFE
This guy was going to inherat a high place in heavin. But he got carless and drove aloaded gun possibly sinning whitch is when the devil stepps in,for god can”t look apon sin.this can and does happen to alot of god fearing soals it is called a trap, the devil lays traps. Be faithfull even too to second death and you will be given the crown of live. I have lived it and know this to be true. Icuold go on and on.
R.N.P
MASK
It’s a shame that he died, lucky no one else died. However, for all the dumb fucks that can do nothing but bad mouth Mask, should shut the fuck up and not even comment on his situation. Especially the guy that was talking about his record, and racing. Also the dumbass that posted as God, I hope you meet your maker and explain why you would do something like this.
It’s too bad that anyone dies like this. The BEST news is that no one else was killed as a result of his actions. EVERYONE does something stupid in their lifetime, just be glad your result wasn’t as bad as his.
omg i cant belive my eyes that dood was so cool and how this could have happend is out of my mind well now he is in a better place driving his other ferrari just as fast and he doesnt even have to worry about dieing r.i.p mask
What a shame, to loose a life so young. And all you people who leave anything but well wishes are pathetic wastes of flesh. God should have made a perfectly good monkey instead of you so children have something to laugh at the zoo! RIP Mask We will all miss you.
What a shame…
Charles “Mask” Lewis deserves tremendous credit for “living the dream” by taking an idea, working hard, and turning it into a highly successful business. Equally, he now represents a clear example of the risk of making one bad decision. Hopefully people can learn from that mistake. Mask paid the ultimate price, and the worst part about it is that it was totally avoidable.
April 8, 2009
RIP Mask – will be greatly missed – just goest show to count your blessings and not take things for granted, anything can happen in a split second. God Bless to the Lewis Family.
My boyfriend got me into watching MMA and I am obsessed with it now. He called me last night and asked if I heard anything about Mask passing and I hadnt. I just looked it up online and I hate to hear about such a tragic loss. He did love the sport and supported ALL fighters and was so much fun to watch himself. He will be missed. My prayers go out to the rest of the Tap Out crew and anyone that knew him or followed him!
He gave more than he recieved and when he left, he went out, he didn’t tapout
he was not racing.
Wow, I’m not a fan of MMA, but a fan of cars. You don’t split a car in half do 50 mph. The passenger was ejected…Apparently, no one in this thread knows physics. Look up Newton’s First law.Mask was a marketing genius. Grow up boy’s and girls, all your hero’s are dead or soon will be……
Rest In Peace Bro
wow… a lot of immature and rude posts.
im just gonna tell it like it is.
mask, i was not a fan of. but he did live the dream… and was an idol/hero to many.
but you dont split a car in half from being hit like that…. i drove me crx going 70 spun out… hit a curb and slammed a tree… my car folded… but didnt split in half. and i know those ferraris are build better than a crx.
so to be fair.
yes mask was great.
yes mask was going fast.
yes its a tragedy. for BOTH MMA and Car freaks out there.
R.I.P. mask. and may your after life be a better one.
[...] TAPOUT Charles Mask Lewis Ferrari CRASH Pictures [...]
Quick question……How many of you assholes that are whining about the car could actually afford to have bought it????? Quit whining and being assholes because he was greater than you will ever be.And if you cant afford the car to begin with,whats it matter that its gone…..you losers wouldnt have got it if it had been sold the day before the wreck so Back off. Dont sit and hate cause one day you may face the same God forbid!!!!!!!!! Then i guess you have no choice but to call your Mother,Brothers,Sisters,Fathers etc. all the names you have called him!!!!!!! Would you want your dead family called names,derided, and put down for a stupid mistake…….well,Have fun in hell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS- and id be willing to bet that if it happens to your family that they wouldnt have helped or furthered the careers of a quarter of the people he has…so, if you have nothing nice to say………………………
Also in response to Webejammin……Comparing his accident to yours is like trying to find 2 snowflakes that are alike…..you may have hit at a different angle or different spot or any millions of things……Ive seen accidents where I swore NOBODYcould have walked away from and everyone lived,but then ive seen what looked like.Fender benders and no one lived.And im not so certain about a Ferrari being built stronger than a CRX,,,,Ferraris are mostly lightweight composites that dont hold up as well as other parts used on say the CRX. Im just stating that there will be a million things we DONT know and maybe 100 that we do,so dont jump to judge……Judge not lest ye be Judged!!!!!!!!!!
Also,to Webejammin…..the last part is not for you ad i appreciate though you arent a fan……yer also not a ass
To the envious ignorant people posting negative comments about Mask and little to say about the piece of drunken shit still alive and whose bond is still way too low to justify the actions of causing the loss of a great person whose life had more impact than any porsche driving Trust fund baby is disgusting to anyone who knows what a great humanitarian and American success story. The fact that it happened at 2A.M. at least shows that while it may have been a poor judgement call at the time,I would bet that he wouldn’t have considered pushing the speed envelope during heavy traffic hours and certainly wasn’t a drunken idiot like his “murderer”Hateful comments by those posting comments showing their I.Q. levels and the envy felt by those who wish they had the ability to contribute to a great sport and a great human being-whether you found his career or attire in bad taste is irrelevant.I personally feel anyone hiding behind a computer making hateful comments to be a coward and a pussy and would’ve died or been critically injured regardless of their junk hoopdie car when confronted with a drunk who didn’t know their limitations.The world wouldn’t have missed the shit-talkers loss at any rate and would’ve been better off if the fecal matter wrapped in human skin would have died instead. R.I.P. Mask-you.ve contributed more in your short life than the jealous haters could even dream of ..P.S. As far as the make-up and style was concerned-it was a promotional image.The other negative posters of BS wear their make up due to their gender confusion and wish they made as much money without bending over in the process..Take Care Brother Mask-you’ll be sorely missed by all who understood you and what you stood for.
I dont get it with all the haters and rock throwers on this earth. this man has died. yes died.. Will no longer walk this earth. Taken whether speeding or not. the fact is that he is dead. This man has brought a great sense of humor and sincerity to tapout shows. he also was there to help bring rising stars into the marital arts world. charles “Mask’ lewis deserves love and so does his family in this terrible accident. Lift up his name as Mask tried to lift up fellow rising MMA people. Also remember the pranks and jokes he brought to the show. people can find its easier to find fault and disgrace his whole existince by ignorant words. I know if it was the other way around and the people who cast judgement and stones had it happen to them, they would be the first ones begging for consolence.. Charles “MASK” Lewis to a man who was trying to bring alittle joy into this world thru his life and TAPOUT.
I hate to say it by money is the root of all evil. Most people who get really rich fast like this cannot handle it they party, drive fast expensive cars, and screw multiple women. I say most not all (Warren Buffet) could buy and sell this guy a million times over. He still lives in a modest home and you’d think he is an average joe. Guys like this think they own the world and they can do anything they want. In the end we all end up 6 feet under. had this guy not gotten wealthy he’d most likely be driving a Honda Accord and still be alive. You decide if its all worth it
Money had nothing to do with it, I can go down the street right now and find a decently fast car for under 10K. It is just one of those things. he had a nice, fast car an pushed the limits. A honda accord can still go decently fast, it would just take the wrong person to test the limits at the wrong time. I have a fast mustang and yea i race it, but not on the street where different variable come into play. I take it to the track where it belongs. Money had nothing to do with it, he could have done it in a civic. with as much as this guy gave back to his community and his business i cant say he was one that thought “he owned the world” You have to look at the fact that a decent person has left his family and friends behind.
R.I.P. God bless ferrari..
This man was someone who took a chance on a sport that was not popular at the time. They invested everything that they had and look what happened TapOut is the most profitable name in MMA. Fuck ya’ll bitchs that want to talk about the car!! A good man lost his life at a young age….. “MASK” ya’ll are the Bill Gates of MMA….813 4 life.
It’s May 10th. This morning I was at the grocery store and I saw the cover of
Tapout Magazine. Charles “MASK” Lewis, JR. gone but not forgotten.
That can’t be.
So I bought the magazine, came home, jumped on the net . . . ended up here and
fools are comeing strong about how MASK could have taken out Jon and Kate and their 8 fuckin kids . . . . it has nothing to do with that shit man . . . if ur married with kids the life aint for you , if your lucky enough to have all that family and love shit in your life . . . at 1 am in the morning . . .your ass and your bitch ass family should have all their asses in bed.
Now back to Charles Lewis Jr.
This is some sad shit thats not going to go away. MMA apparel will survive and continue . . . just without the wildfire, fireworks, and magnetisum that MASK brought to it. Its a sad fuckin thing to happen . . . it’s like all of a sudden the industry has less blood to loose in it’s next fight. And really – just what we all fuckin needed . . . Another Fuckin SCAR. And another reason to keep fighting.
i am very sorry for the loss of mr. lewis’ life.
Im sorry to hear of this loss! Didnt know him personally, but i did watch the show. He seemed like a real cool dude and the type of person who will never let you down. Im sure hes gonna be looking down on his boys and smile, because you guys will make him proud!
OMG! cant belive what i’ve just seen!

Never had the chance to meet the guy, but he was taken by his rise from the street to the big time! One day i’ll meet him when my time is up. R.I.P. One Love
[...] TAPOUT Charles Mask Lewis Ferrari CRASH Pictures [...]
I am a great fan of MMA, and the TAPOUT boys. However, to those leaving messages regarding the other driver involved in this tragic accident, saying this P.O.S. is sitting in jail and still alive. Wow. Last I check they were both racing each other, according to an eye witness, going far beyond the speed limit and both vehicles spinning out of control. Unfortunately it was his Ferrari that hit the curb and the pole and split in half, and THANK GOD that his passenger somehow managed to be ejected and live through such a tragedy. The other driver might have gotten away with his life, but he also will have to carry this foolish decision with him for the rest of his life. Had it been the other way around, would everyone be saying what their saying, I dont think so. It’s tragic either way you look at it. Had the man in the Porsche died, than the Mask would be sitting in jail. It was a foolish decision on both parts, there is no one to blame or point the finger at.
A family member of mine was involved in an accident, where she was hit by a drunk driver. She was a model, thanks to the other driver, who was speeding and drunk, she was in the ICU for 3 months, broke both legs, both arms, a hip, broken ribs and major head trauma. Thankfully she lived and now after about 1 year of physical therapy can walk again and can take care of her daughter without help. I have no sympathy for people that decide to drink and speed. It’s others they put in danger. Once you exceed the speed limit by 20-30 mph, your vehicle isn’t a vessel that gets you from point A to point B, but it becomes a weapon.
For those of you who keep writing about others posts that aren’t to your liking, if you have had to live through a family member or loved one being killed by speeders or drunk drivers, you wouldn’t be saying what you’re saying. I’m not sayign that Mask passing isn’t a great tragedy as well, or saying that his life wasn’t worth living, he was and still is a hero to many, he just made one foolish decision. And all of us have had that urge, when someone pulls up next to you and revs their engine, you want to rev yours and race just to prove your car is faster. But lets face it, Ferrari vs. Porsche, must I say more. He had nothing to prove, but that’s were a little bit of male ego comes in, and we through the old rule book out the window. HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED. R.I.P. MASK.
My thoughts and prayers are going out to his family and friends. I hope that everyone can learn something from his loss. Maybe the next time some jerk pulls up next to you and wants to race, we choose to be the bigger man and just let it go. Human life, no matter who you are, is way to precious. You only live ones, make it worth it. And I also hope that the gentleman that drove the Porsche can get through this and hopefully live a better life. Like many said before me. Karma. Well for those who are saying negative things about others, are no better than the ones that are saying the bad things. We all will get judged. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. God bless his family, may they find piece with this tragic loss.
I think thats the owner of forgriato’s car.
Thats why.
Very sad. I have seen this happen with several Ferrari’s from a side collision, due to their chassis construction; just google “ferrari split in two”. If he had been driving something else, he might still be living to tell about it.
just now heard about Mask. Where the helll have I been? I watch MMA/UFC all the time. Watching UFC100 and learned about it just tonight. Mask was a character worthy of our respect. He made his mark. He and his crew epitomized how you can take an idea and dream, work hard and make it happen. Selling T-shirts out of a truck to Tap Out is truly what this country is about. Couldn’t care less about what people think about his style, dress or whatever.. He and his crew were and are one of a kind. It’s sad that that he didn’t live to see the full potential of MMA and Tap Out. Let us all hope his fiance gets thru this OK.
This man has come a long way! started out by paying 10,000 dollars to start TAPOUT,taking a chance to risk everything,and it PAID OFF!! It is very sad to hear of his death! MY CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND TO THE CREW OF TAPOUT PUNKASS AND SKYSCRAPE.You two guys NEED TO KEEP THE BUSINESS GOING THATS WHAT MASK WOULD WANT!And all i can say is for all the haters GOD BLESS YOU!
My friend rest easy now. You will be very very sorely missed.
That’s what he gets for speeding like an asshole on a public road
HA HA i THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY DON’T YOU ?
Very sad and tragic. I wish he was in a safer vehicle and saved his life.
The love of money is the root of all evils! Not money itself. You are right however that so many who get too much too fast fuck themselves by losing perspective and control and so often pay the ultimate price… He was totally irresponsible by going that fast and risking the death of anyone in his path. That was an asshole move! No need to point fingers now because he died for his stupidity.
It’s too bad that his partners couldn’t come up with more intelligent sounding names other than “punkass” and “skyscrape”. You followers of idiots like these deserve to be in the hall of “DUMBASS” These guys don’t do shit for that sport except sell you stupid fucks more of their crap…which dipshits like yourselves will always fall for. Get a fucking life and do something original.
Friend of sport wishes he was in a safer vehicle??? LIKE WHAT??? A GODAMN ARMY TANK? I SAW THE EXACT THING HAPPEN TO A GUY I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH IN A 56 CHEVY THAT WAS DOING OVER 100 MPH AND HIT A TELEPHONE POLE. IT TORE HIS CAR IN TWO PIECES AND HE LUCKILY ONLY BROKE HIS BACK.
THE MASK DUDE CHOSE A PRETTY STUPID ROAD TO RACE ON!!!
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT?
Who shot Biggie and Pac?
This is not a subject for jokes; have some respect. I’m sick of seeing your kind on sites like this. You shit talkers act tough on the net; how about face to face. I’m an accomplished martial artist and MMA fighter. I tell you what, if you ever come to Central Michigan just come to the local gym we can put the gloves on, or if you come at the right time you can try King of the Cage. If you can’t make it try a gym close to you; just talk the same shit about Mask as you did here someone will be more than willing to show you the inside of a cage. Think of it as a kind of “Bully Beatdown”. In your cases a shit talking prick beat down.
You want a visit from a Brock Lesner size cat just give me the invitation and I’ll bring my Sacramento Posse with me punkass. I am a cage fighter and I’m sick of dumb asses comments about anyone who did what the mask did. He fucked up and payed the price. Who the fuck cares where he came from and how hard he worked? He got the break that most people don’t and became a millionaire. He screwed the pooch on making it last. Most of us come from nuthin and I’m one of em. I work my ass off and am responsible and I don’t go trying to act like a fuckin idiot in a car and potentially risk other peoples lives for my thrills!
If anyone thinks that was ok then you have your head up your ass!!! Come to Sacto Cali and feel the sting bitch.
To the family and friends and also punkass&scrape i’m sorry for your lose of a bad ass dude.I have nothing but mad respect&love for what you 3 men have done .You have thouched so many lifes bye what you men have done..I wish i could have meet mask and punkass-scrape.
Learn how to spell Jamie fernandez-dumbass…before you post things on a blog or anywhere else. You’re an idiot and stop trying to say something about people you don’t even know. Mask got what he asked for by risking everything and he lost!!! get over it. You didn’t know the guy. Has anyone payed you millions for acting like an idiot? Maybe you can get paid for being the shittiest speller in history.
Well, don’t know him.. heard of him… but guess all that useless beating to the skull finally got the best of the idiot… want to show off… well, look… this is what can happen… 1 less idiot on the road… yay
As long as I’m around the last post of this board isn’t going to be pissing all over the
Memory of MASK. . . . So you motherfuckers say whatever you want . . . Come a million strong .. . . . The TAPOUT crew is STRONGER. . . . So fuck ya all !!!
Charles Lewis Jr.. . . . . . You will be missed.
Obviously by all accounts a nice guy and deserving of his fame … but buying a ferrari and racing down a public road against a porsche is a dumbass decision – end of story.
Now he won’t get to enjoy his fame, chicks, money, and great fights.
A2D . . . . . You fuckin little bitch . . . Jerking yourself off at the exspence of my friends memory.
You want to talk about dumbasses . . . . Your dumbass even visiting this little memorial. What the fuck are you trying to prove Mother Fucker !!!
What !!!
You can piss on a dead guys grave ???
That’s weak dude . . . . That’s really weak . . . . . I feel sorry for your mother.
She raised a ASSHOLE !!!!
MASK . . . . Holding it down for you buddy !!!
BELIEVE !!!
Benz is holding it down for a corpse…wow what an idiot. Was the Mask really your friend? What did he do for you? You can say whatever you want about my mother because she’s dead…just like the mask asshole.
When you make stupid ass choices like he did you get stupid ass results. If you have smarts then use them. Don’t do what he did. Obviously it was a dumbass decision and he ended his story just like that.
You can’t change the stupid ass thing that he did no matter how much you want to defend former idiots like him. Intelligent choices are made by intelligent people and intelligent people get to live another day by being responsible and not risking other peoples lives like he did.
Now do something good with your life instead of being a follower of animal like muscle heads who beat the living shit out of each other for entertainment. Develop your mind for a change.
Your mothers DEAD ???? Your an Intelligent Person ??? You Make Intelligent Choises in life ????
Then why the FUCK don’t you understand ” Sadness” ???
Then why the FUCK don’t you understand “Memorial” ???
Then why the FUCK are you going around saying what your saying ???
Really what does it take for you to use that Intelligence that you say you have ???
What actually do you use your Intelligence for ???
Other then going out of your way . . . . To read an articlle about a Guy you didn’t like, you have no respect for, and from what I can tell . . . Your happyier then a pig in shit , that he’s DEAD.
You ask me. .. . . . what MASK ever did for me ???
Nothing.
But at one point in his life . . . He sold t-shirt that he designed, out of the trunk of his car.
You ever try to do that ???? You ever live that lifestyle ???
You ever try saving up enough money so you can buy a car to have a trunk to sell your t shirts out of ???
You ever use any of your Intelligence to try and create something ???
Other then to try and destroy everything.
You ever use your Intelligence to think of a thought and turn that thought into an EMPIRE.
It’s a tough fight MAN !!!
In fact sometimes you just want to TAPOUT.
And sometimes you just have to ignore all the assholes like you
And BELIEVE.

Leave the guy alone benz. He’s right. So what if he sold t shirts out of a trunk! Do you think he is the first poor fucker to try to make it from nothing?
I grew up on welfare because my Mom was a drug addict. I grew up with not a fucking chance and I came through to make a decent living. I had my ass kicked my whole childhood and was told I was a mistake. I survived. Who the fuck doesn’t have their own sad struggle story to tell except for the one’s born into wealth?
I didn’t however go and act like an idiot only to risk other peoples lives and then take my own because of my stupid choice. Maybe Mask was a decent guy but he should be an example of what not to do just because you make lots of money.
What a waste of everyone’s time to sit here and write this shit.
Let the idiot rest in peace.
This will end all the speculation and anything else you idiots want to say about my friend Mask.
He was a hero of cage sports. He was a great t shirt salesman and a true artist. He was such a great designer of those shirts that he should get a congressional medal of honor from the President of Iran.
He was so artistic and gay-like that he really took care of his REAL FRIENDS.
HE USED TO SUCK MY COCK SO GOOD THAT HE MADE MY ASS WHISTLE!! NOW THAT IS A TRUE FRIEND!!! THE MASK COULD SUCK THE CHROME OFF A TRAILER HITCH BABY!
PUNKASS ALSO LOVES IT UP THE ASS…WHAT A LOOSE BUTHOLE HE’S GOT!!!!!!!
But. . . . . But . . . . . Evan . . . . .Mask is an asshole !!!
But . . . . But. . . . .But . . . . Evan . . . . . He crashed his car !!!
But . . . . But . . . . But . . . Evan, . . . . . Mask can suck my balls and make my ass whistle ???????
What the FUCK are you all talking about ???
Really. . . . What are you trying to C. . . .O. . . . N .. . .M . . . .U . . . .N . . . .I . . .. C . . .A . . . .T . . . . .E. ?????
You harbor some homoerotic fantasy about him . . . . ????
You like nice cars and are pissed off he crashed one . . . ????
You can be the worlds biggest DICK ?????
I get it . . .
But if you think that’s the way someone should be remembered.
Your WRONG.
So FUCK YOU !
Charles “Mask” Lewis Jr.

OOPS…
YOU’RE RIGHT.
HE WAS A GREAT T SHIRT SALESMAN AND WE NEED TO REMEMBER HIM FOR THAT.
HE ACTED LIKE AN IDIOT ON TV BECAUSE HE GOT THE OPORTUNITY TO ENTERTAIN NUMB MINDED PEOPLE WHO THINK GUYS WHO PUT MAKE UP ON THEIR FACES ARE SOMEHOW GOOD ENTERTAINMENT.
HE CAME FROM STRUGGLE AND HE IS THE FIRST TO DO THAT TOO…RIGHT ASSHOLE EVAN?
IF SOMEONE CAN TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HE DID FOR THOSE LESS FORTUNATE AFTER HE MADE MILLIONS THEN THAT IS WORTH REMEMBERING.
IF YOU CAN’T SHOW US SOMETHING BESIDES GETTING LUCKY FROM HARD WORK THEN YOU ARE THE TYPICAL AMERICAN IDIOT WHO NEEDS A SERIOUS REALITY CHECK.
WHO DID HE HELP AND WHAT DID HE GIVE BACK?
OH POOR EVAN IS A LOSER WHO NEEDS A FAKE HERO…HOW ABOUT KISS? THEY WEAR MAKEUP AND MAKE INSANE MILLIONS BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY IDIOTS WHO THINK THEY HAVE TALENT AND KEEP THROWING MONEY AT THEM.
IF YOU THINK THERE IS A LICK OF JEALOUSY HERE…THINK AGAIN. I MAKE PLENTY OF MONEY AND HAVE MADE IT FROM NOTHING TOO.
YAHOO…I’M A HERO LIKE MASK BUT I DON’T RISK MY LIFE WHILE RISKING OTHERS TOO.
IT’S HARD NOT TO REMEMBER HIM FOR HIS LAST STUPID MOVE.
I’M HAPPY TO LISTEN TO SOMETHING BESIDES THE T SHIRT THING IF THERE WAS ANYTHING POSITIVE ABOUT THE GUY.
GET YOU HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS AND THE CLOUDS AND APPRECIATE THOSE WHO AREN’T “TV MADE” HEROS!!!
Who did he help and what did he give back ?
He helped Mixed Martial Arts as a Industry.
He sponsored quite a few fighters with some free gear.
And he’s a hero to t-shirt designers.
What more do you want ?
He had just gotten to that point in his life where he could finally relax and go out and get himself something nice.
To which he got himself a Ferrari.
That same one that’s in a million different pieces at the top of this web page.
I’m getting the feeling like you want some Mother Terresa/Chevron Corporation type of Charity Work . . . Before you give anyone their due.
All I can say , is he never got the chance.
He worked and he worked and he worked.
He finally made it.
He bought himself a fancy car.
And ended up killing himself playing around with it.
I just don’t get the point . . . Why, when someone dies. . . . Some people see it as an opportunity to go around and say stupid shit.
Really . . . . You show up somewhere . . . See some sad people mourning the death of someone that had an influence on their life . .. . And the thought that pops into your brain is, Fuck That Guy and Fuck all you sad people too.
He’s a dumbass. . . . He could have killed me !!!
He got what he deserved !!!
Maybe he did.
And then again maybe he didn’t.
It just dawned on me. . . . Maybe your way of missing someone is too tell them their a Idiot. Like Larry Darrell in The Razors Edge.
MASK . . . I never liked that guy. He was a really selfish guy.
He never helped anyone. He will not be missed. I’m glad he’s gone.
The worlds a better place without him !!!

She is a hottie.
Your moms, that smells like rotten fish isn’t a hottie.
Man, I hate those fools that say MASK could have killed a child with his racing, so what??? Your just jealous because you live on foodstamps.
RIP MASK much respect from Amsterdam.
