Roscoe (Rocky) Leroy Baptiste
May 9, 1929 - Oct. 16, 2013
Roscoe Leroy Baptiste passed over to be with his ancestors on
Wednesday, Oct. 16. He was born May 9, 1929, to Joseph Louis
Baptiste and Rose Marvel (Copaugh) Baptiste in Pawhuska,
Okla., on the Osage Reservation. He was a proud member of the
Potawatomi Tribe and was a regional representative for the Tribe
for 10 years.
After retiring from being the representative, he continued to rep
resent his culture in his participation at local powwows. He enjoyed
gourd dancing and teaching his culture to the younger ones.
Roscoe served in the Navy Seabee's during the Korean War. He
helped build an air strip on Guam.
He was a construction millwright and worked on power plants;
one job was in Page, Ariz., where he befriended Navajo co-workers
and learned how to make silver and turquoise jewelry from
them.
He worked as a golf course superintendent for many golf courses
around Oregon. Two were in McMinnville: Michelbook Country
Club and The Bayou. He picked up on the golfing hobby quickly.
He enjoyed hunting with his sons, camping in an old wall canvas
tent with a wood-burning stove like his father and mother did.
But through the years, as it got harder to trek through the
woods, he took up bench target shooting and building his own
bench guns.
He won many trophies that were displayed throughout his
room.
He loved the outdoors, camping and fishing with the family.
He has left a very rich legacy of love and fond memories for not
only his family but many friends.
Roscoe Leroy Baptiste will be placed to rest Nov. 1 at Willamette
National Cemetery with full military honors.
He was preceded in death by his parents and four brothers: Joseph
Edward, John Reginald, Merle Lloyd and Louis Divonnis.
He is survived by his wife, Maxine Eileen (Reid) Baptiste; daugh
ter, Regena Rose Story; son, Joseph Louis Baptiste; daughter, Ra
mona and her husband Kevin Kruger; son, Steven Leroy and his
wife Darci Baptiste; daughter, Rebecca Cecilia and her husband
Bill Davidson; 13 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren; and
a "little bear," the dog that barks too much.
