Jorge Chavarria
Raise a glass of red wine,
enjoy a piece of German
chocolate cake and cele-
brate a life
we l l l ive d !
For 33 years,
Jo r g e
Ar-
m a n d o
C h av a r r i a
brought joy
to his family,
friends and
Jorge
colleagues.
In the past
Chavarria
ye a r,
he
made a lasting impression
on OHSU’s medical team
and fellow patients who
were also fighting for their
lives. All who knew him
will miss his smile, humor
and encouragement.
Jorge’s life began in Zihu-
atenejo Guerrero, Mexico,
on March 23, 1982. Nick-
named “Pulo” by his family,
he was fourth of five chil-
dren born to Alvaro and
Olga Chavarria. Jorge and
his family moved to Oregon
in 1984. He graduated from
Hood River Valley High
School in 2000, excelling in
academics, football and
wrestling. Jorge was the
first in his family to gradu-
ate from colle ge, which
later inspired his two oldest
nephews to pursue a simi-
lar path as their uncle.
Jorge received numerous
scholarships to Portland
State University for his
good grades, community
service and sports. In 2005
he graduated with a degree
in international business.
T h r o u g h o u t c o l l e g e,
Jorge worked for Unitus
Community Credit Union.
In 2005, he was hired by
Merrill Lynch where he
served as a senior client as-
sociate working with four
financial advisors. Jorge
was recruited by Ferguson
Wellman Capital Manage-
ment in 2013 to help launch
their new division, West
Bearing Investments. He
teamed up with his close
friend and former Merrill
Ly n c h c o l l e a g u e, Jo s h
F r a n ke l . To g e t h e r t h e y
grew the business and built
strong relationships with
colleagues and clients.
In March of 2014, Jorge
was led to believe that he
had mono. Upon further
testing, it was discovered
that he had acute lym-
phoblastic leukemia. He
was admitted to OHSU for
treatment and from that
moment on, his motto be-
c a m e, “ Wi n t h e D ay. ”
Throughout the year, he
had victories and setbacks.
Neither outcome seemed to
af fect his steady, calm,
strong approach to the dis-
ease and his visitors often
benefited from his wonder-
ful outlook – entering his
hospital room subdued and
introspective only to leave
inspired and hopeful.
In early March of 2015,
Jorge was informed that
treatments weren’t working
and the cancer had ad-
vanced. He was told he may
only have days to live and
within hours, his hospital
room became a revolving
door of people visiting him.
In his last month of life,
Jorge gathered his strength
to visit family in Mexico, at-
tend the Timbers season
opener and celebrate his
33rd birthday. His faith
grew stronger with each
passing day and on the af-
ternoon of April 10, he was
ready to be with God. He
died peacefully with his
f a m i ly a ro u n d h i m t h e
morning of April 11, 2015.
Jorg e will be remem-
bered for afternoons of fish-
ing, golf and playing FIFA
video games with family
and friends; cheering loud-
ly for Real Madrid, the Tim-
bers, Vikings, Ducks and
Beavers; and enjoying any-
thing his mother cooked, es-
pecially her pulled pork rel-
lenos. Some of his fondest
memories included a trip to
Amsterdam with his
nephew
Adrian
and
“Jorge’s 30th Birthday Ad-
venture” to New York with
friends.
Jorge is survived by his
parents, Alvaro and Olga;
siblings Juan, Yadira, Zania
and Dianna; nieces and
nephews Edgar, Adrian,
Mizael, Danny, Jonathan,
Isaac, Estevan, Sabrina,
Ashley, Dariel and Andy;
b r o t h e r- i n - l aw s, C a rl o s
DaSilva, Michael Phillips,
Victor Galvan and Juan Vil-
legas; sister-in-law Nelly
Chavarria; and dear friends
who were with him every
step of the way. The Chavar-
ria family would like to sin-
cerely thank all the friends,
c o l l e a g u e s, f a m i l y a n d
OHSU professionals who
supported Jorge over the
past year.
A wake is scheduled for
Wednesday, April 15 from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. at Hamilton-
Mylan Funeral Home, 302
W. 11th St. in Vancouver. On
Friday, April 17, at 11 a.m., a
Mass and funeral service
will be held at Saint John’s
Catholic Church, located at
8701 N.E. 119th St. in Van-
couver. Following Mass, a
burial service will occur at
the church cemetery locat-
ed at Northeast 109th Street
and Northeast Maitland
Road. A reception will be
held at Saint John’s Church
after the burial.
If you would like to make
a honor Jorge’s life, please
consider a charitable dona-
tion to the OHSU Knight
Cancer Challenge, Somos
Timbers, or simply “Win
the Day” in memory of him.
