Obituary
David W. Childress
July 29, 1948 — October 11, 2015
D a v i d ( D a v e ) W.
Childress passed away
October 11, 2015, sur-
rounded by his family and
friends after a long battle
with cancer.
Dave, 67, was born July
29, 1948, in Roseburg,
Oregon, where he grew up.
His parents are Joyce E.
Childress of Sisters, Oregon,
and the late Arthur L. (Roy)
Childress.
On March 26, 1994, Dave
married Catherine Johnston
in Atlanta, Georgia. While
there, he worked as the
Director of Procurement and
Logistics for GWS, Inc. In
1997, they were transferred
to Kansas City, Missouri.
During their years in Kansas
City, they built a vacation
home in Yachats, Oregon,
where they visited and later
retired in 2002. In 2005,
they moved to Sisters.
While living in Sisters,
Dave attended The Chapel in
the Pines in Camp Sherman.
There he was enfolded by a
group of loving and support-
ive friends.
Dave enjoyed participat-
ing in car shows in Central
Oregon and the coast of
Oregon with his 1934 Ford
Cabriolet. His car won
many awards, but his favor-
ites were the “People’s
Choice” awards won at the
Sisters “Glory Daze” Car
Show.
Not only was he an avid
Oregon Ducks football fan,
he loved all college football.
Dave spent his Saturdays in
the fall watching and dis-
cussing the games with his
friends in Chattanooga, TN,
and lamenting the atten-
tion given to the SEC by the
media and lack of it to the
Pac-12.
Dave is survived by his
loving wife, Catherine;
daughter Andrea Childress
(Felix Miret) of Eugene;
granddaughters Fina and
Mariona Miret of Eugene;
mother Joyce Childress
of Sisters; brother Craig
C h i l d r e s s ( Tr a c y ) o f
Pendleton; nieces Lindsey
Presley (T.J.) of Pendleton,
and Cristin Childress of San
Francisco; and uncle Leslie
Davie of Isle of Wight,
England.
Dave was preceded in
death by his father, Arthur
L. (Roy) Childress; sis-
ter Tammy Childress; and
his Davie and Childress
grandparents.
The family wishes to
thank their friends and the
medical staff at St. Charles
Hospital Cancer Center and
OHSU for their love, sup-
port and quality of care dur-
ing Dave’s illness.
A memorial service to
celebrate his life will be
held at The Chapel in the
Pines, Camp Sherman, on
Thursday, October 29, 2015,
at 1 p.m., with Ed Beacham
officiating. A reception will
follow at the Camp Sherman
Community Hall.
In lieu of flowers, the
family requests contribu-
tions be made to The Chapel
in the Pines, c/o 300 W.
Hood Ave., Sisters, OR
97759.
