Lance was born in New- port, Oregon on May 1, 1993 to Leslie Lakings and Allen Pierce. Lance was a special, unique individual. From an early age his family knew he would accom- plish great things.

Lance “lived in the moment,” writing his own rules and telling his own stories. Lance beat unbeatable odds pav- ing the way for others. He fought a good fi ght all Lance his life with Pierce his many disabilities but he showed all, never to underestimate him. His fi nal battle with cancer was just too much for him. Lance had a deep unspo- ken bond with his mother Leslie Lakings, his grand- mother Bobbie and the rest of the village “he” raised. He is survived by his aunts Gwendolyn Cullum of Baker City, Oregon and Samantha (Sam) Lakings of Canyonville, Oregon; his uncles David Lakings of Chiniak, Alaska and Donald Lakings of Wash- ington; cousins Andrea, Michelle, Salena, Sarena, Willow, Deliah, Waylon, Brittney, Katelynn and Jami; his extended family Darrin and Tami Schenk and Jose and Sonya of Gresham, Oregon.

The Littles’ crossword puzzle Take it, make it event CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “Many times families that are in poverty, that would be really unfair for the child to come and their siblings to not be able to afford to come,” said Savage. “So, we make that possible, 75 coupons went out, we usually get a really good participation with kids from Head Start.” The Savage explained that last year they had a record of around 150 and this year they had around 154 children who attended the event. “Our goal in certain projects is to go through all the supplies,” explained Savage. “And we only had three tables that might have two left over projects, so that’s a real winner for us.” This project was funded by the DE and Jane Clark Foundation. “We are always welcome to quality art supplies, craft supplies,” stated Savage. “Sometimes we have to say no just because of stor- age. But we have cubbies where we can put all this stuff in and store it and then you let an artisan look at something and people can donate things and it’s always appreciated.” Baker County Press Subscribe Today!
