Timateo De La Cruz-Skater Liasion

Timateo was at the forefront at the movement to get the skate park in Molalla and has stayed true to his love of in-line skating ever since. He has placed in the Molalla competitions every time he has entered from first place to third.

Since he no longer actively competes he has been asked to assist in being part of SkatePark Investors.

In 1997, De La Cruz was one of the five skaters that went to City Council and asked for a skate park. He'll bring some innovative ideas to SkatePark Investors. Many of you may already know him. Next time you see him bustin' out at the park, say hello and if you have questions or concerns let him know.

It is with a heavy heart that SkatePark Investors reports on the death of Timateo De La Cruz. He passwed away on April 22, 2022 at the age of 38. Timateo was an avid rollerblader and spearheaded the skate park efforts in Molalla that began in 1997. He will be missed. I know it has been years since you have heard from us, but we have heard there are efforts to rebuild the skate park in town and as a member of his family I will be actively involved in these efforts. We are working with SK8 Molalla and City Council to rename the skate park the Timateo De La Cruz Memorial Skate Park. Please help us support this endeavor. 'Keep busting out!'

RIDING THE RAILS!

Tim frequents skate parks across the state, here he's at Woodburn's.
