Scotto, who was the creative director for many of Block's videos, said they've been taking some time to grieve and try to pick up the pieces and hope to organize a public event for fans in Los Angeles in February.

He also said that Block shot several new videos last year before his accident, and that they'll be premiering soon.
"We do want to release that stuff and I think we'll start doing that next week," Scotto said.
The video closed with a montage of Block's life that was played at the private memorial that friends and family held last week.

"Here's six or so minutes of Ken enjoying his life and really living life to the fullest, and that's one thing we've all taken out of this is it's really important to do that," Scotto said.

"I guess my only legacy would be that I like creative stuff and I like fun stuff, you know. And I don't take life too serious, but at the end of the day, I try and inspire people to be creative and live a fun life. And don't be an a--hole."
