@abc7chicago: Visitors to the grave of a late skateboarder payed tribute to the deceased by performing a trick on his ramp-shaped headstone at a cemetery in Mexico in early September. Instagram user @babywizzard captured this video as he and his friends visited Rafael Castillo’s grave in La Paz, Baja California Sur. He told Storyful Castillo was a skater and surfer who “made a significant impact on his community in Baja Sur and beyond.” According to local news reports, Castillo died of pancreatic cancer in 2016 at the age of 42. Before his death, he explained his idea for a ramp-shaped headstone so rather than pray for him, people could skate with him. The quarter-pipe headstone was finally finished in 2023, the report said, after local officials approved the design.
