Grand Ronde Tribal Elder
Marvin Loren Kimsey Sr., 83,
a resident of Grand Ronde
walked on at his home on Sun-
day, March 4, 2018.
He was born on Feb. 27,
1935, in Hehe, Ore., the son of
Loren Leo and Nora Warren
Kimsey. He lived most of his
life in Grand Ronde, spending
summers in the Warm Springs
area while growing up.
He enjoyed being a part of the Wild Horse roundups in central
Oregon.
He married Eleanor Lynn Kimsey and they had five children:
Karen, Virginia, Christie, Duke and Colleen.
He drove log truck for almost all of the logging outfits in the valley.
He retired in 1995.
He later married Michaelle Diana Lee and she preceded him in
death.
Marvin was instrumental in the Restoration of the Confederated
Tribes of Grand Ronde. He was a giver of life, enjoying commercial
fishing, race car driving and raising horses. He was instrumental in
establishing the Food Bank in Grand Ronde, served as the chairman
of the Spirit Mountain Stampede Rodeo and loved his many dogs.
He is survived by his children, Karen Kimsey, Virginia Kim-
sey-Roof, Christie Kimsey-Loomis, Duke Kimsey and Colleen Kim-
sey, along with 14 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and one
great-great-grandchild. Also surviving are two sisters, Margaret
Provost and Myrna Brandon. He was preceded in death by his first
grandchild, Levi Baker, in 1995.
A memorial service was held Sunday, March 11, in the Grand
Ronde Tribal gym. Private interment occurred in the Grand Ronde
Tribal Cemetery.

Police Department starts
non-emergency text line
The Grand Ronde Tribal Police Department has created a non-emergen-
cy text line, Tribal Police Chief Jake McKnight announced on Monday,
March 12.
“We learned in our last school meeting that kids would like a different
way to communicate with the police if they have a non-emergency situa-
tion,” McKnight said. “We all know kids love to text so my officers and I
decided this would be a great tool to utilize.”
The new text number is 541-921-2927.
“Even though this is mostly designed for children, I don’t want adults
thinking that they can’t use it as well. If you have a non-emergency situ-
ation or question, feel free to contact my officer via text through this line.
When one of my officers receives the text, they will call you back when
they have time.”
McKnight said that emergency situations still require people to call 911.
For more information, contact McKnight at 503-879-1474. 
