13-year-old Wyatt Tofte died in Oregon's Beachie Creek Fire (Santiam fire) on Sept. 8, 2020. Family members say "he died trying to save his grandmother". Wyatt was told to run to safety by his mother but he couldn't leave his grandmother. He was a heroic boy, trying against all odds to save his grandmother Peggy.

Wyatt was found inside the family’s vehicle, behind the wheel, with the body of his trusted dog draped on his lap. His grandmother was also found in the vehicle. Wyatt did not keep going toward safety and instead went back to the car and tried to drive his grandmother out of the flames.

Wyatt Tofte died a hero. And he should be remembered for all times. I would like North Fork County Park renamed after him. North Fork Park was just a few miles south of where Wyatt lost his life on North Fork Road. It was also destroyed in the fire. The park will have to regrown and change, let’s change the name to reflect something significant. A new park with a new name. Lets not forget Wyatt and what he did. The family has lost Wyatt, Peggy and their home. Lets show them we our support for them and will never forget there lose.

Possible names could be as followed:

Wyatt memorial park, Wyatt Tofte Park, Tofte Park                                                  (The Name will be pick with help from the family)
