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.
