Gordon L. Treadwell
October 13, 1936 - February 14, 2022
On Monday, Feb. 14, 2022,
Gordon (Gordy) Loren Treadwell,
of Hermiston, Oregon, a loving
husband, father and grandfather,
passed away in Boise, Idaho, at the
age of 85 years. Gordon was born
on Oct. 13, 1936, in Mullan, Ida-
ho, to parents, Everett and Edna
Roberts Treadwell. He was raised
throughout the Midwest and West,
and his family settled in Pasco, Washington, in his late
childhood.
Coming out of high school, he enlisted in the Air
Force. Gordon married his high school sweetheart, La-
Ree Hendricks Treadwell, on Jan. 23, 1960, in Pasco,
Washington, on a snowy, icy day that they still laughed
about 59 years later. Gordon and LaRee, along with
his brother, Stanley, purchased Hermiston Glass and
moved to Hermiston in 1975, where they raised their
two daughters, and have called it home ever since.
Gordon was a friend to all and always serving others.
He loved going to area auctions and finding that good
deal that could be resold at a profit. He has a close circle
of friends in the community that he loved and meant a
lot to him, and have been there and supported him since
LaRee’s death. His family cannot thank his friends and
community enough for all they have done. He and LaR-
ee were proud to be a part of the Hermiston community
and supported many of the city’s betterment and com-
munity projects.
Gordon’s life was one of hard work and integrity,
both forged from lessons learned from his parents as
they raised their family. He loved LaRee and his daugh-
ters more than anything in the world and would often
brag about his granddaughter, Megan. While he will be
dearly missed, we know that he is with the family that
went before him.
He is survived by his daughter, Janet Miller and her
husband, John, Springfield, Missouri; granddaughter,
Megan Miller Inouye and her husband, Peter, Austin,
Texas; and two siblings, Virgina Treadwell Worthey and
Larry Treadwell.
Gordon was preceded in death by his wife, LaRee
Hendricks Treadwell, in 2019; a daughter, Carol La-
Ree Treadwell, in 2017; his parents, Everett and Edna
Roberts Treadwell; and three siblings, James Treadwell,
Ronald Treadwell and Stanley Treadwell.
A graveside service with military honors will be held
on Saturday, Feb. 19, 2022, at 11 a.m. at the Hermiston
Cemetery, Hermiston, Oregon.
Please share memories of Gordon with his family
at burnsmortuaryhermiston.com. Those who wish may
make contributions in Gordon’s memory to the Stan-
field Community Center.
Burns Mortuary, of Hermiston, Oregon, is in care of
arrangements.

Tom Hebert
August 9, 1938 - February 8, 2022
Dementia hammered Tom He-
bert, who knew the end was near
when he could no longer ride Eu-
sebio, his Cayuse pony and best
friend.
Hebert died alone Tuesday, Feb.
8, at the age of 83, at the Maple
Valley Memory Home in Mon-
mouth, Oregon.
Tom was born Aug. 9, 1938, in
Wenatchee, Washington, but grew
up on Vashon Island where his parents ran a nursing
home for wayward gentlemen down on their luck.
Hebert spent the last 20 years living on the Umatilla
Indian Reservation and developed a reputation as a so-
cial gadfly, defined as a person who interferes with the
status quo of a community by posing novel, potentially
upsetting questions, usually directed at authorities.
In 1960, Hebert graduated with a theater degree from
Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon, and did his
graduate work at the Dallas Theater Center and at Bay-
lor University in Texas.
He was hired in 2000 as a consultant to develop
plans for a horse program to serve Native youth. Be-
cause Tom always overdid things, the horse project (and
other unsolicited documents) ended up gathering dust
somewhere on a shelf. When someone asked him for
three pages, he would write 30, albeit backed up with
detailed research.
But before moving here, Hebert had an adventurous
life that included stints as a retired Peace Corps vol-
unteer in Nigeria from 1962-64. After his Peace Corps
service, he taught English and Speech at Prairie View
A&M in Texas when that school was the largest Black
college in the country.
Tom was a USO organizer and for 18 months estab-
lished USO Clubs to entertain troops on U.S. Marine
Corps combat bases in South Vietnam. He was honored
by, among others, General Foster La Hue, First Marine
Division, in 1967. He was also awarded the USA Medal
of Civilian Service in 1968.
In the late 1960s, Tom was a UNICEF refugee re-
lief officer during the Biafra war on the Portuguese Is-
land of Sao Tome where he challenged the racism of
a church-led effort, resulting in his deportation under
armed guard on a night arms flight to Lisbon.
He co-authored two books espousing the promise of
trade schools.
He worked nine years in Chattanooga as supervisor
of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Energy Con-
servation and Solar Institute.
He worked as a consultant for the Duwamish Indian
Tribes.
He was the keynote speaker on the campus of the
University of Idaho with remarks recognizing Martin
Luther King Jr.
He moved to the Umatilla Indian Reservation in
2000 and his love deepened for the durable Cayuse
pony. He and Eusebio rode in local and regional pa-
rades, including the Westward Ho! Parade at the Pend-
leton Round-Up. He gave kids rides during events at
Tamastlikt Cultural Institute.
When he died, Hebert left boxes of extensive re-
search on the Cayuse Tribe and the Cayuse horse.
The research, reading and riding of Cayuse hors-
es, especially his own Eusebio, was Tom’s passion. A
horseman’s quote in the Spanish Mustang Registry said
this of Hebert: “You used to irritate me (as you well
know) but as time has gone on, damned if I’m not pretty
much on your side … You have done more with your
horse than anyone I know of but have gotten less atten-
tion for it.”
Not many will miss Tom.
He wanted attention. He wanted validation. He
mostly got in his own way, but that never stopped him
from trying to make things better.
