September 25, 1969-February 20, 2022
William “Bill” Fordyce Myers, 87, of Hermiston, died
Jan. 16, 2022, at his home. He was born Aug. 21, 1934, in
Hermiston. A celebration of life will be Saturday, March 19,

Douglas Raymond Marlatt en-
tered this life on September 25,
1969, in Pendleton, Oregon the son
of Wilma Lee Bothwell and Wes-
ley Virgil Marlatt Sr. of Heppner.
He entered eternal life on February
20, 2022, from his home in Uma-
tilla, Oregon. Graveside service for
Douglas will be held in Heppner at
the Heppner Masonic Cemetery, at
11 a.m., March 5, 2022.
He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints, Umatilla River Ward, Hermiston Or-
egon Stake. He grew up in Heppner, graduating from
Heppner High School in 1988, where he played foot-
ball, and loved learning. He was a life-long learner and
was an avid history buff. His friends and family would
joke about Douglas being quicker than Google in giving
an answer and was thus dubbed Doogle, for his quick
mind and accurate memory.
Douglas will be most remembered for his infectious
laugh and cunning sense of humor. His nieces and neph-
ews looked to him as the cool uncle who always brought
great fireworks and loved to join them in playing video
games. He loved bringing smiles to peoples. Whenever
he saw something that he thought would bring joy, he
would make sure they received it.
Those who loved Douglas, remember him as a kind
and giving soul, with the biggest heart, who served ev-
eryone. Every family member has fond stories of how
he would go out of his way to make their lives easier
through his loving service. Douglas was a member of
the IBEW local 112 as a material handler. He is remem-
bered as a hard worker who was relentless in accom-
plishing difficult tasks and staying until the job was
complete. He was loved by his fellow co-workers for
his wit and will be missed.
Survivors include his father, Wesley V. Marlatt Sr.
of Finley, Washington, sister, Melody Marlatt of San-
ta Ana, California, sister and brother-in-law Rosanna
and Joseph Vandacar of Umatilla, brother and sister-in-
law Wesley and Sarah-Anne Marlatt of Irrigon, sister
and brother-in-law, Lovena and Lee Clinkenbeard of
La Grande, sister and brother-in-law, Starla and Larry
Lozier of Finley, Washington, sister Alisha Looslie of
Pendleton, and 10 adoring nieces and nephews, and 7
great nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by
his mother, Wilma Marlatt.
