Hwy 541.426.0320 Enterprise, OR Calvin Perry Kiesecker Feb. 15, 1941 –– June 7, 2017 Calvin was born Feb. 15, 1941, in Enterprise, Ore. He was the fi rst child born to Lester and Frances DeJean Kiesecker. He was raised on a ranch on the Grande Ronde River and attended ele- mentary school at Troy, Ore. He graduated from Wallowa High School in 1959. He enlisted in the U.S. Army immediately after graduation and spent two years in Germany where he also played in a band. Calvin was known for his many talents. He could play any musical instrument even though he had never had a lesson. When he returned from the service, he started another band and played at dances and clubs. He even played with members of CCR and John Fogerty. He began a woodcarving business at this time as well and spe- cialized in huge signs and murals. One of his fi rst masterpieces is in the Chamber of Commerce building in Enterprise. Various pieces can be seen in Wallowa County. In 1972, he married Shirley Sickles Brown. The marriage later ended in divorce. He stayed connected with her eight children, whom he loved very much. In the ‘90s, he was in a near-fatal car accident, which left him with disabilities. He could no longer do much carving or play many of his musical instruments. He then started playing the har- monica and became one of the very best harmonica players in the country. Calvin was a very kind, sweet, loving, honest soul who would help anyone out. We will all miss him terribly. Calvin is survived by his son, John (Gwen) and two grand- children; sister, Sandi Weaver, brother, Gary (Cathy); stepmother, Clarice; half brothers, Troy and Tim (Julie); stepsisters, Cindy Neal (Greg) and Debbie Keefer and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his mother, Frances, in 1959; father Lester in 2015; brother, Jerry in 2014; a favorite aunt, Rosalie DeJean Monk; and many uncles.
