The shocking death of Ken Block has devastated his family and friends in not just the sports world, but the music industry, too ... with everyone from Lewis Hamilton, Travis Pastrana and even T-Pain mourning the legend's passing.

Hamilton -- a 7-time F1 champion -- released a statement Tuesday morning, the day after his "dear friend" died in a snowmobile accident in Utah.

"I am devastated to hear of Ken Block's passing," the 37-year-old said. "He was such an amazing person, always lived life to the fullest."

Hamilton says Block -- who also competed in motocross, skateboarding, and snowboarding -- was a positive person who had "so much talent behind the wheel."

"He will truly be missed and my thoughts and prayers go to his beautiful family."

Pastrana added a heartfelt message ... saying, "To me, Ken was a friend, a rival, a mentor, a boss, a business partner and a fellow family man who was more proud of showing me pictures of his kids go karting than he was of himself doing a worlds first in one of the many 'coolest cars known to man' that he regularly drove the wheels off."

"Ken lived his life to the fullest. Cut too short like so many of the greats before him. Rest in Peace buddy. You will never be forgotten."
