Michael “Pancho” Locke, 1979 – 2026

Welsh stuntman and reality star Michael Locke, known as Pancho on the 2003-06 show Dirty Sanchez (and I dare you to look that up in the Urban Dictionary!), has died at 47, it was announced on Nov. 6. No cause of death has been determined. Locke was a stuntman and skateboarder who shot to fame on Dirty Sanchez, a “boys will be boys” stunt and prank show also featuring Mathew Pritchard, Lee Dainton, and Dan Joyce. Locke also appeared in the 2006 Dirty Sanchez movie, and in the TV shows Balls of Steel, Death Wish Live, The Dudesons, and Comedy Lab. In recent years, he cofounded Welsh the clothing brand San Portablo, in Port Talbot. "It's the key to celebrating us, and the town and not being seen as this pass-through town that's hiding in the shadow of the steelworks,” Locke said of the town and his business. “It's really tragic what's happened to the steelworks. My heart goes out to all the people who lost their jobs there, but at this moment in time the town is shining bright, and it's moving through a cultural phenomenon really. The way that we've embraced the culture and the street art culture which was prevalent here, we made a real scene out of it. It's something that we are very proud of."
