Marvin Adam Dewald

The family of Marvin Adam Dewald is deeply saddened to share that he passed away on April 10, 2026. Marvin was born on January 19, 1936, in Logan County, North Dakota, to Theodore and Rosella Dewald, and he went on to live a long, full, and joyful life.

Marvin eventually made his way to Oregon, where he married the love of his life, Patricia Ketterling. They were married for 62 wonderful years until her passing in 2019. He spent four decades working as a postal carrier, a job he took great pride in and one that connected him to his community in a meaningful way.

He was happiest outdoors—camping, fishing, and discovering new places. Marvin and Patricia traveled the world together, collecting stories, memories, and souvenirs from their adventures. He was also a dedicated sports fan, cheering on the Portland Trail Blazers and the New York Yankees with unwavering loyalty. And if you knew Marvin, you knew he loved a good bowling league and the friendships that came with it.

Marvin is survived by his three children, Jeff Dewald, Rhonda Mullican, and Christopher Dewald; siblings, Delmer Dewald, Theodore Dewald Jr., and Janet Johnson; six grandchildren; and six great‑grandchildren, all of whom brought him tremendous pride and joy. He was preceded in death by his sisters, Eileen Hehn, Bernice Schauer, and Madelyn Hoffer.

A private celebration of life will be held at a later date with immediate family.

The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Rose Linn Assisted Living, Legacy Emanuel Hospital, and Marvin’s caregivers for their kindness, compassion, and exceptional care.

John Stuart McKillop

John Stuart McKillop, a devoted husband, loving father, humorous grandfather, proud Korean War veteran, and beloved educator, passed away on April 11, 2026, at the age of 92. Born on May 3, 1933, John spent his life fostering a love for learning in others and a love for hands-on projects in his backyard. Everyone enjoyed John's stories of youthful work in Seattle, including escapades cleaning fish on the docks, riveting planes at Boeing, washing dishes at Swedish Hospital and digging holes for the telegraph crew on the railroad.

A Career Dedicated to Students

John proudly served in the U.S. Army (1954-56 Korean War) before beginning a career in education that spanned more than 30 years. He discovered that he enjoyed working with kids when he was returning home from his overseas Army assignment and there were children on board that he was assigned to entertain. With the encouragement of his wife, Joan he earned his B.A. in Education from PSU in 1961, then his Masters in Education from the University of Oregon in 1965. He also worked part-time at the bank to support his growing family.

John’s career in education began in September 1961 at Woodlawn School in North Portland, where he taught 7th grade. His journey took him through Sunnyside School and eventually to the North Clackamas School District, where he spent the vast majority of his professional life.

John found his true "work home" at Milwaukie Junior High. As the librarian and media specialist, he was a fixture of the school community. He was known for his versatility, tutoring students in math one hour and providing a steady, guiding presence for the more "energetic" students who frequently found themselves in his library the next. Even decades after his retirement, John was frequently recognized by former students, a testament to the lasting impact he had on generations of students.

A Life of Adventure

Outside of the classroom, John was a man of action. He loved to build and was never one to shy away from a complex project. His family fondly remembers his adventures involving ladders, chainsaws, pulley systems, and the occasional block and tackle. It was often said that his wife, Joan, was his guardian angel, keeping him safe through his many ambitious backyard engineering feats.

To his grandchildren, he was always teaching something or trying to get a laugh. From chess lessons and family trips to Sunriver to afternoons in the backyard watching birds and squirrels, he created the kind of memories that stay with family for a lifetime.

Along the way, John made running a habit and collected dozens of 10k race shirts over the years.

Family and Legacy

John is survived by his sister, Mary Stovel of Edmonds, WA; sons, John and Chris; daughter-in-law, Diane; son-in-law, Allan; five grandchildren; and 12 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his sister, Jeanie Driver; his wife of 60 years, Joan; and his daughter, Mary.

His legacy lives on in the thousands of students he mentored, the things he built with his hands, and the large, loving family he leaves behind.

A Cemetery Service with Military Honors will be 3:00 p.m., Monday, May 4, 2026 at Willamette National Cemetery, Portland, Oregon.

John Martin Francis, Jr.

John Martin Francis died at home on March 12, 2026, after a long and independent life. He was born on May 16, 1935, in Manhattan, New York, the oldest of three boys born to John M. Francis Sr. and Gretchen Snyder Francis.

In 1944, the family moved to North Egremont, Massachusetts, to a home his grandmother had previously owned. Martin—as he preferred to be called—spent much of his boyhood exploring the woods and the nearby Green River with his younger brothers, adventures that helped foster his lifelong appreciation for nature and the outdoors.

He attended Berkshire School for Boys, a college preparatory school in Sheffield MA, as a day student. After completing his studies there, he went on to attend Harvard University where he earned a degree in physics, graduating in 1956.

Though he later said he never felt confident pursuing a career in physics, his curiosity and intellectual interests remained with him throughout his life. He also served in the United States Air Force.

After college, Martin worked for a time at the Berkshire Courier, the weekly newspaper run by his father. After his father’s death in 1964, he left Massachusetts and moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado. There he supported himself mainly through carpentry work and yard work, and for a time tried his hand at farming. A dedicated runner, he participated in the Pikes Peak Marathon for several years and achieved an impressive fifth-place finish in 1966 with a time of 4 hours and 52 minutes.

Later in life, Martin settled in Portland, Oregon, where he spent the remainder of his years. He continued working well into his eighties, a testament to his independence and strong work ethic.

Martin enjoyed quiet activities such as fishing, gardening, and baking. He was fascinated by meteorology and the weather, and his enthusiasm for the stock market led him to spend countless hours at his computer tracking financial trends and fluctuations.

A deeply religious man, Martin found community in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day-Saints. In 2010, he was ordained to the office of Elder in the Melchizedek Priesthood. In this role, he participated in church service, including ministering to others, offering blessings, and supporting the spiritual and practical needs of fellow congregants.

Though he never married, Martin was a devoted uncle and remained closely connected to his family. He faithfully sent Christmas packages (including his homemade anise seed cookies) each year to his nieces and nephew, visited his brother David W. on the East Coast and his nephew David T. in Seattle annually and stayed in touch through letters following the lives and activities of his grandnieces and grandnephew with interest.

Martin was a gentle man with a kind and generous heart.

He was preceded in death by his parents; youngest brother, Gerry; and niece, Hanneli. He is survived by his brother, David W.; nieces, Cindy, Christine, Genoveva, and Hazel; and nephew, David T. Francis.

Interment will be at the Mountain View Cemetery in Oregon City, Oregon.

John Lee Savage

John “Jack” Lee Savage, longtime resident of Milwaukie, Oregon, died peacefully at the age of 92, on March 24, 2026.

In Jack’s telling, he was born into a farming family in a “dirt floor cabin” in Salem, Iowa, on June 15, 1933, to Mildred (White) Savage and Thomas Savage. The second of four children, he contracted polio around the age of three, a condition that left one of his legs damaged.

Jack had fond memories of attending first grade in a one-room schoolhouse with an aunt as his teacher. He told of dipping ponytails in inkwells and described the tradition of simmering maple syrup on the school’s wood stove for each child to take home at the end of the day.

He spent many summers with his maternal grandfather, Frederic Eli White, who imparted a respect for nature as well as a love of physical fitness. Jack wandered the fields and hedgerows that his grandfather reserved for animal habitat, and, judging from his early writings, he was especially interested in the streams and boggy areas where he watched frogs and fish. He also swam and exercised with enviable fortitude, and by the time he was in high school, he was strong enough to play football and join the wrestling team.

At an uncle’s urging, his family moved to Michigan, where his parents worked for a large machine company that was converted to an armaments factory during WWII. After the war, his father partnered in the purchase of a farm implement store, which he later sold. Traveling as Savage & Sons with a combine and truck, and living in a trailer, they harvested wheat from New Mexico to Michigan, overwintering in Colorado Springs, where Jack and his brothers attended Colorado Springs High School. Despite what seems today like a tough life, Jack had fond memories of life on the road—the peace of riding the combine, the huge quantities of chicken and dumplings his sister delivered at noon for the crew, and returning exhausted to the trailer at the end of the day only to shower and go to bed. Out of necessity, the brothers became skilled and resourceful mechanics, something of which he was quite proud and which they applied in their after-school jobs at an auto shop owned by the Unser family of racing fame.

Jack played football and wrestled for Colorado Springs High School and worked at an ice cream store after school. As a heavyweight wrestler, he placed second in the state championship, and during his time as a defensive lineman, the football team twice won the state championship.

Jack later received a football scholarship to Colorado State College, where he studied fisheries science. He held summer jobs stocking mountain lakes with trout, at one point living in a fire-watch tower.

Jack graduated from Colorado State College and worked his entire career as an anadromous fish specialist and policy advisor for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, first in Umatilla County, Oregon, followed by Sacramento, California, and, beginning in 1966, at the Pacific Regional Headquarters in Portland, Oregon.

A uniquely skilled writer, scientist, and persuasive speaker, Jack played a key role in developing and negotiating the Pacific Salmon Treaty (PST) of 1985. This landmark treaty between the U.S. and Canada established a framework for the shared management of Pacific salmon stocks, with the goals of preventing overfishing, optimizing salmon production, equitably sharing the benefits, and minimizing disruption to the fishing industry.

Among his other notable contributions, Jack collaborated with hydraulic engineer and UC Berkeley professor Hans Albert Einstein in the application of mathematical models to the study of river habitats, particularly in predicting the effects of water diversion projects on salmon.

Jack began to scuba dive in the early 1960s while living in California. He caught fish by speargun and harvested abalone and scallops. He was an avid fisherman and hunter of deer and elk, as well as ducks, geese, and pheasants. Later in life, he took up underwater photography and bowhunting. Perhaps most significantly, he shared his love of nature and the outdoors with his children and the Boy Scouts he led as scoutmaster. In retirement, he became an avid runner, completing six marathons after the age of 62. He also enjoyed his garden and his pets.

Jack was preceded in death by his wife of 33 years, Constance (Wagstaff) Savage; and brothers, Richard and Bill. He is survived by his sister, Janet (Savage) Gregonis; children, Jennifer (Savage) Laursen, Ann Savage, and Thomas Savage; son-in-law, Tod Laursen; daughter-in-law, Shelly Savage; six grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

He will be remembered fondly as a gentle man who loved nature.

Private inurnment was held at Lincoln Memorial Park, Portland, Oregon.

Lyla June Husband

Lyla June Hutchison Husband peacefully transitioned to her new home in heaven on Saturday, 28 February 2026, with her children by her side. Lyla was born, 2 June 1928, in Burke, South Dakota. Her loving parents were Lloyd Owen Hutchison and Pansy Violet Crisman. Lyla had one sibling, older brother, Eldrid Lloyd Hutchison. Farming in South Dakota during the Dust Bowl and the Depression was hard. In 1934, the family moved to Camas, Washington and Lloyd soon took a job with Crown Zellerbach Paper Mill, where he worked until he retired in 1965. The family joined St. John’s Presbyterian Church, where Lyla participated in youth activities, got married and had both her children baptized. Lyla would say she was an average student, but she loved music and made many friends during her school years. Lyla played violin in school and enjoyed singing. She and her best friend, Joyce Gittings Garver, sang in the Sextettes at Camas High, and both went to Lewis and Clark College in Portland where they sang in some of the college groups.

Lyla met her husband, Roger Nelson Husband, at Lewis and Clark. They graduated in 1950 and married in 1951 on Lyla’s birthday. Lyla was teaching in Portland, but agreed to move to North Powder, Oregon where Roger was a football coach and teacher at the high school. Lyla got a job teaching in Baker, Oregon. Lyla was not fond of eastern Oregon, so after one year, the couple moved back to the Portland area where they both got teaching jobs. In 1954, they welcomed their first child, Pamela Gay Husband, and then their second in 1956, Stuart Norman Husband. Lyla became a stay-at-home mom in a neighborhood populated with young families. Lyla quickly made friends with the other moms and the children all played at each other’s homes. She joined Westmoreland Presbyterian Church and met a group of women who formed The Modern Moods in 1958. Lyla joined the women’s ensemble group and performed at club meetings, community programs and on local television and radio shows. Roger left teaching in 1955 to secure better job with Richfield Oil. He received an opportunity to move to company headquarters in Los Angeles, and, in 1963, the family moved to North Hollywood, California.

Lyla decided it was time for her to return to her teaching career. She went to San Fernando Valley State College to get a California teacher’s certification. In 1966, she began teaching fourth grade at Oakdale Elementary School and continued until retiring in 1986. Lyla treasured her friendships with her fellow teachers and principals. She joined North Hollywood Presbyterian church where she sang in the choir and served in volunteer positions. After Lyla and Roger retired, they moved back to Oregon in 1989 to be closer to their mothers. They built a home in The Highlands, a new 55+ community in Tigard, got a dog, Silky, a Kerry Blue Terrier and rekindled college friendships.

Lyla and Roger always enjoyed traveling, taking annual road trips to visit family in the Pacific Northwest while their children were at home. In retirement, they continued taking road trips and started cruising, which Lyla loved. Roger’s health began a ten-year decline in 1994 after he had heart bypass surgery. Lyla was an amazing caregiver during this time and taught the family the true meaning of love and loyalty. Even with health issues, Roger and Lyla did some traveling during the final years of Roger’s life, including a dialysis cruise, two trips to Montana and a trip to Kansas City for a Hallmark convention. Roger and Lyla celebrated both their 40th and 50th wedding anniversaries. Roger passed away in 2003, and Lyla built a new, full life for herself.

After back surgery in 2006, Lyla decided it was time to move into a retirement community. She chose Town Center Village in Happy Valley, Oregon, close to Pam. She moved into her spacious, independent living apartment in 2008 and immediately started making friends, participating in activities and trips, joining the Village Choir and being a regular at the morning “coffee klatch”. Lyla loved her 13 years at Town Center Village where she celebrated her 90th birthday in 2018 with a big party. Lyla was thrilled when Stuart moved back to Oregon in 2016. She enjoyed spending time with her kids and having adventures with them!

Lyla continued to be an enthusiastic traveler, now with her children and son-in-law, Bill. She went to Hawaii several times, Scotland where she cruised on the Caledonian Canal, a cruise in the Galapagos Islands, to England crossing the Atlantic, with Pam, on the Queen Mary II and attending the Rotary International Convention in Birmingham, to Ireland meeting cousins in the Blackburn Family Association, a family cruise to Alaska, a cruise from Quebec City to Port Lauderdale and many other memorable trips. Lyla was usually game to go anywhere at any time, but after she turned ninety, she told her family her traveling days were over.

Lyla received a diagnosis of vascular dementia in 2020. After a short stop in Assisted Living, she moved to MorningStar of Happy Valley, now The Springs at Sunnyside, in June 2021. This was a wonderful move for Lyla and her family as the memory care staff immediately liked her and provided wonderful, attentive care. Lyla did not like being alone in her suite, but preferred to be out in the community, seeing what was going on and what everybody was doing. Lyla’s final decline was due to RSV, and she was not able to come back from the damage it did to her body. The family thanks Tenderly Hospice for their caring attention to Lyla.

Lyla had an amazing, wonderful, long life. Family and friends were most important to her. She loved gathering with relatives and friends, catching up on all the news. Her family will miss her, but we know she is where she is supposed to be now – reunited with Roger, her parents, brother, and others important in her life. Close survivors include daughter, Pam; son, Stuart; son-in-law, Bill McCracken; niece, Danae Michael; and nephews, Don Hutchison, Todd Husband and Brent Husband.

Lyla is buried in the Camas Cemetery next to Roger and her parents. Lyla supported many worthy causes during her life, but the Broadway Rose Theatre Company, PO Box 231004, Tigard OR 97281, was especially dear, and donations would honor her memory and love of music.

A Celebration of Life will be from 1:30-3:30 p.m., Saturday, April 25, 2026, at The Springs at Sunnyside, 14391 SE Princeton Village Way, Happy Valley OR 97015. Light refreshments will be served. Please bring any memories of Lyla you would like to share.
