The city of Dripping Springs will be naming their new park the Dorian Kweller Skate Park. The name memorializes 16-year-old Dripping Springs High School student Dorian Kweller, who died in a car accident in February of this year. He and his family moved to Dripping Springs in 2018 where he attended the Skybridge Academy, now known as The Appamada School, and then later Dripping Springs High School. He was an avid skateboarder and heavily involved in the Dripping Springs Skate Club, as well as an integral member of the Dripping Springs High School music program. He was an emerging musician who performed under the stage name “ZEV,” and was scheduled to make his live debut at South by Southwest music festival in Austin in March, a month after he suffered his fatal accident. Six hours before his death, Volatile Skateboards had offered him a sponsorship deal.
