Angel Murillo
Pendleton
November 5, 1994 — January 1, 2019
It is with deep sadness
and pain that the family of
Angel announces the loss
of our beloved son, brother,
uncle, and cousin.
Angel
Murillo,
24,
passed away on January 1,
2019, in Pendleton, Oregon.
A memorial service will
be held at Columbia High
School gymnasium on Sun-
day, January 13, 2019, at

held on the Kreps Ranch.
Funeral arrangements are
being handled by Gard-
ner Funeral Home in White
Salmon, Washington.
Angel was born on
November 5, 1994, in Hood
River, Oregon, to Trini-
dad and Rosalia Murillo.
He graduated from Colum-
bia High School in White
Salmon in 2013 and was
actively involved in 4-H and
FFA. He graduated from
Blue Mountain Community
College in Pendleton with
three associates degrees:
livestock production, agri-
cultural business, and crop
science. He made honor roll
in 2015 and 2016. He also
served as the vice president
of the new FFA collegiate
chapter.
Angel grew up on the
Kreps Ranch near Glen-
wood. He enjoyed playing in
the dirt, riding horses, help-
ing with the daily chores,
and feeding cows in the
winter. When Angel grad-
uated and moved to Pend-
leton, his time on the ranch
didn’t decline like some of
the other kids. He was there
every weekend helping his
dad round up cows or feed.
He very much loved the
ranch and the cowboy way
of life. Angel was a kind,
generous, thoughtful, hard
working, artistic, funny, and
talented young man that so
many have come to know
and love.
Angel was a devoted
employee for Hamley West-
ern Store in Pendleton, Ore-
gon. He was a hat shaper and
a saddle maker. He entered
the 2018 Pendleton Leather
Show and won first place in
the novice class for his sad-
dle as well as the People’s
Choice award.
Angel is survived by his
parents, Trino and Rosa, his
brother Fernando and wife
Ashley (Heck), niece Ava,
nephew Greyson, numer-
ous aunts, uncles, cousins,
and his beloved horses Joe
and Lobo. Angel is preceded
in death by his grandfather
Senon Murillo and uncles
Tomas Bobadilla and Fortu-
nato Frias.
The family of Angel
wishes to thank everyone for
their love and support during
this difficult time.

U.S. flu season poised
to be milder than last
year’s harsh one
NEW YORK (AP) —
It’s early, but the current
flu season is shaping up to
be gentler than last win-
ter’s unusually brutal one,
U.S. health officials said.
In most parts of the
country, most illnesses
right now are being caused
by a flu strain that leads
to fewer hospitalizations
and deaths as the kind of
flu that dominated a year
ago, according to officials
at the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
Vaccines also work better
against it, said the CDC’s
Dr. Alicia Fry.
So is the U.S. in for a
milder flu season?
“If (this strain) contin-
ues to be the predominant
virus, that is what we’d
expect,” Fry said.
Last season, an esti-
mated 80,000 Americans
died of flu and its com-
plications — the dis-
ease’s highest death toll
in at least four decades.
In recent years, flu-related
deaths have ranged from
about 12,000 to 56,000,
according to the CDC.
The CDC has no esti-
mate of deaths so far this
season, partly because it’s
so early. Flu usually takes
off after Christmas and
peaks around February.
On Friday, the CDC
released
its
regular
weekly flu update, show-
ing that it was reported to
be widespread in 30 states
last week, up from 24 the
week before.
The health agency also
released new estimates of
how the flu season is play-
ing out. It said:
—About 6 million to 7
million Americans have
become ill since flu sea-
son kicked off in the fall.
—About half were
sick enough to go to see a
doctor.
—Roughly
70,000
to 80,000 have been
hospitalized.
The CDC usually
doesn’t make those esti-
mates until a flu season
is over, but researchers
have been working on the
model for nearly a decade
and believe it is sound
enough to use while the
season is still going on,
officials said.
Because the model is
new, CDC researchers
said they aren’t able to
compare those estimates
to previous flu seasons.
Last season, an esti-
mated 49 million Ameri-
cans got sick from the flu,
23 million went for medi-
cal care and 960,000 were
hospitalized.
Some doctors and
nurses were anxious
going into this flu season,
considering how bad last
year was, said Dr. James
Steinberg, chief medical
officer at Emory Univer-
sity Hospital Midtown in
Atlanta.
But so far it hasn’t
been nearly as severe. “It
seems more like a typical
flu season,” he said.
