[ODF_Private_Forests] Kevin Weeks memorial service

[SCHMELZ Mary K]

This message is sent on behalf of Dan Postrel



Hello everyone -

We continue to receive messages of grief and support as news of the passing of Kevin Weeks spreads in forestry and public service circles, in Oregon and beyond. Clearly, many colleagues held him in high regard.

Here are a few updates for those who are interested:

Memorial service. This will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 6, at Adventure Christian Church, 2831 N.E. Newby St., in McMinnville. Kevin's wife, Stacey, tells me that bright Hawaiian clothing will be in order, in keeping with Kevin's irrepressible good humor. As she says, "It's a loud, aloha theme. We're going to celebrate Kevin in Kevin's spirit."

Remembrances. Cards or letters can be sent to the church, at the address above. The zip code is 97128. There is also an online obituary and guestbook at http://www.macyandson.com/obituary/Kevin-G.-Weeks/McMinnville-OR/1191925

Stacey is very much interested in collecting tributes, stories and memories for their teen-aged daughter, Jessica.

In addition, a memorial fund, to assist with Jessica's education and other family needs, is being created. Checks can be made out to Adventure Christian Church, with the phrase "Kevin Weeks family fund" in the memo line.

Thanks once again to all who have written and called with messages of support and offers of help. Your sentiments mean a great deal during this challenging time.

-- Dan
