Do not stand at my grave an,d weep, I am not there,-' 1 do not sleep. 1 am the thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush, . of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. " Do not stand at my grave and cry, ' I am not there, I did not die. ' Walking On: BUD PARAZOO The passing of Tribal elder Bud Parazoo has saddened our people. Despite his death, Parazoo's legacy lives on in his children (of which he had 8 6 which are still living), his grandchildren (of which he had 18), his great grandchildren (of which he had 21) and his spirit for life which will always live on. .r-n j i; s j - Parazoo died July 14th, 1990 in Walla Walla, Washing ton. He was born in Bray Mill, Oregon on December 14ih, 1912 and grew up on the Klamath Reservation. At the age of 32, Parazoo was drafted into the Army. He left his wife and 4 children at the time and served 4 years for his country. Parazoo served in Europe and North Africa and saw action during the invasion of Normandy. After the war was over, Parazoo served two terms as commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post in Chiloquin. Parazoo made his home in Irrigon on the Columbia River after returning from the United States Forest Service where he was a youth counselor. Parazoo was honored as the Grand Marshall for the 1990 Klamath Memorial Day Parade in Klamath Falls and was especially proud of his Chinook heritage. He was a descendant of Chief Casino and Chief Concomoly. As the eldest member of his family he will be greatly missed by all but his life achievements and courage will survive in the family's youth long after he is gone. His memory will never fade. Parazoo was cremated and his remains were scattered around Crater Lake at his request.
