MEMORIAL
continued from page 1
house Tuesday.
But Joyce's stepmother VicJcy Davies couldn't use just
one word, phrase or sentence to describe Joyce, who was
killed on Saturday, June 12 when a car collided head-on
with his bicycle on East 13th Avenue.
There was simply too much to the 23-year-old man to
sum up in one sentence.
He was a chess player and an athlete. He was an adven
turer and a hard worker. He was happy, and he liked to make
other people happy.
"He had a lot of energy," loyce's father James Joyce said.
"He burned hot and he stayed up late working, slept and got
his butt up to school... He got it done and he did well in
school, and he did well at work.
"In our minds, he was quite extraordinary."
Joyce, a University pre-journalism major, was a dedicat
ed and competitive athlete. He was active in rock climb
ing, scuba diving, skateboarding, snowboarding, moun
tain biking, tennis and ultimate Frisbee, and also practiced
yoga, Davies said.
"He was an adventurer," Davies said. "He was into experi
encing as much as he could ... He was very athletic and very
competitive."
Davies said Joyce was also a traveler, having visited, some
more than once, Thailand, Sweden, Ireland, France and
Spain, to name a few.
James Joyce said his son was bold and unafraid to meet
new people.
"language didn't stand in his way at all," he said. "He
went to the Far Fast by himself, just so he could learn how to
introduce himself to people."
And Joyce got to know people quickly. He only worked at
Cafe Lucky Noodle for the past three months, but James
Joyce said about a dozen employees, including the manager
and assistant manager, traveled to Portland Tuesday to re
member their former co-worker.
Former University student and Cafe Lucky Noodle em
ployee Paul Kuck said the memorial service, which was held
in Davies' and James Joyce's backyard, reminded him of
how great Joyce really was.
"He was this bright smiling kid who had a great outlook
on life and loved life and tried to enjoy it as much as he
could," Kuck said. "That's something that I took from the
memorial service."
James Joyce said there was also a lot of support from
friends Joyce has had since he attended Grant High School.
Tuesday evening's celebration drew about 100 people to
their backyard, many of them Joyce's friends, he said.
"I'm certain that he didn't have any regrets," James Joyce
said. "It's a tragic event, but so, so far from a tragic life."
Davies also felt the outpouring of support has been
touching.
"We're still getting cards," she said. "We have a whole table
full of flowers. We got so many we had to put them outside be
cause they were causing everybody allergy problems."

ACCIDENT
continued from page 1
said Joyce was riding in the wrong direction near
the center of East 13th Avenue's north lane near
Mill Street when the collision occurred.
"He was just kind oflookingdown and peddling,"
Kempton said. "I didn't really see any attempt for the
kid on the bike to get out of the way. It was almost like
he was just looking down at the ground."
The press release stated that evidence at the scene
suggested Joyce was traveling the wrong direction
in the north lane of East 13th Avenue at the time
of the crash.
Olshanski said the Lane County medical examiner's
office has not yet completed Joyce's toxicology report.
Kempton said he was driving between 25 and 30
mph in the right lane when "(the Cadillac] whizzes by
us in the left-hand lane," striking Joyce Kempton, who
was approximately 25 feet away at the time of the colli
sion, said the impact damaged the car's windshield and
grill, destroyed the bike, severed part of Joyce's leg and
caused him extensive head trauma.
According to the EPD press release, Soulier immedi
ately stopped after die collision and called 911.
Joyce has no police record in Oregon and Soulier's
only vehicle-related police record is a June 2003 citation
for boating without a license.
