Meg was a member the online condolence book at www.sweeneymortuary. com. David J. Nagel was called home January 8, 2021 at the age of 74 to be with his daughter, Brenda, brother, Larry and parents, Chester and Pearl Nagel. David was a native of Washougal, WA and graduated from Washougal High School in 1964. After school he went to work for Crown Zellerbach in Cam- as, WA where he worked until he retired in 2005. Always loving the outdoors and sports, ev- ery spring would find him in eastern Oregon fishing and come summer in the dunes of southern Oregon in his sand rail or mountains of eastern Oregon riding quads. He enjoyed building, dreaming and driving his sand rail through the dunes. When teaching the kids and grandkids how to drive, sit- ting around a campfire and eating dingdongs, he was in his element. “Although Sunday afternoons were for football (go Raiders) and NASCAR (Jeff Gor- don), most of all he loved his family,” stated a family member. One of his camping trips brought him through Heppner to the OHV park. He stopped in for break- fast and bought a house instead. He and his wife moved to 345 Gilmore in 2005 and stayed in Morrow County until David became paralyzed from a stroke and could no longer return home. Although his smile will be missed, his memory lives on in his wife, Di- ann and his four children, Randy, James, Heath and Dominique. He also leaves behind 19 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, foster children, exchange students and street kids they took in. Also surviving are three brothers and a sister, nu- merous cousins and many friends. A celebration of life is planned for September 11, 2021 at 1:30 p.m. at the Fallen Leaf Park in Camas, WA. Everyone is welcome and a potluck lunch will be available. Sharon Lynn Kennedy Sharon Lynn Kennedy, 72, passed away March 20, 2021. She is survived by her husband, Kermon Kennedy of 55 plus years, her three daughters, seven grandsons and six great-grandchil- dren. Sharon was a seam- stress and a homemaker.
