OBITUARY
Ace Barry Gilbertson
CONSTRUCTION
Warrenton
April 11, 1947 — June 3, 2021
On June 3, 2021, Ace
Barry Gilbertson, loving hus-
band, father and grandfather,
passed peacefully with his
wife and children at his side.
He was 74 years old.
Ace was born on April
11, 1947, in Luverne, Min-
nesota, to Earle Steven and
Esther Irene Gilbertson. His
family of six children later
moved to Lebanon. There,
Ace attended elementary,
middle and high school, and
graduated from Lebanon
Union High School in 1965.
He joined the U.S.
Army in 1966, and served
as a pre-surgical medic in a
mobile hospital in Vietnam
until his honorable discharge
in 1968. During his service,
Ace was wounded and was
awarded the Purple Heart.
He felt honored to work with
dedicated doctors, nurses and
other medics, with whom
he maintained lifelong
friendships.
In 1969, Ace began
attending Southern Oregon
College (now Southern Ore-
gon University), where he
earned a bachelor’s degree
in business management in
1973.
Ace worked in Pacifi c
Power customer service
offi ces, including Astoria and
Seaside, from 1973 until he
retired in 1998. After retir-
ing from Pacifi c Power, he
worked for Portland General
Electric. During this time he
commuted to Portland and
was welcomed to stay in the
homes of his niece, Tammy,
and nephew, Clark, during
his work week.
After retiring from Port-
land General Electric, he
took his part-time “dream
job” at Gearhart Golf Links,
which included golf privi-
leges for him and his guests.
Ace valued the friend-
ships he developed in every
school and workplace, and
stayed in contact with friends
over the years. The past few
years he looked forward to
potluck lunches with other
Pacifi c Power retirees.
On July 12, 1975, Ace
married his best friend and
college sweetheart, Susan
Elizabeth Clark. The cou-
ple bought their fi rst house in
Gresham in 1978. Their two
children, Peter and Emily,
were born in Portland. The
family moved to Warren-
ton in 1985, where they have
lived for 36 years.
Family has always been
Ace’s greatest joy and fi rst
priority. He loved being a
dad and later a grandpa. He
coached Peter and Emily’s
Seaside Kids Inc. baseball
and softball teams for many
years. Ace enjoyed watching
and cheering on his kids and
grandchildren when they par-
ticipated in sports activities.
He spent many happy
hours watching his daughter
and grandchildren dancing in
dance classes, dance recitals
and “Nutcracker Suite” per-
formances. He also enjoyed
countless hours of fun play-
ing card games, board
games, going for bike rides,
tennis, golf, playing in the
sand, hide-and-seek, kick the
Ace Barry Gilbertson
can and ball games with his
children and grandchildren.
Ace was always generous
with his time and love for
his family. He always said,
“Yes!” when asked to play.
Ace was an avid golfer
and sports fan. He was inter-
ested in a wide variety of
sports, but a dedicated fan
of Oregon State University
sports and Seattle Mariners
baseball.
For many years, Ace was
an active member of Seaside
United Methodist Church
and Seaside Kiwanis.
Fishing trips to his
nephew Wynn’s home with
brothers and their families
in Alaska, reconnecting with
old friends at his 50th high
school reunion and trips to
Disneyland and Sunriver
with his kids and their fam-
ilies were highlights of his
retirement years.
Ace and Susan loved tak-
ing walks in their neighbor-
B oB M c E wan c onstruction ,
hood and to the beach. They
always felt very blessed to
live at the coast, surrounded
by the beauty of nature and
the wonder of wildlife.
They have been so thank-
ful for the thoughtfulness of
caring family, friends and
neighbors.
Ace was preceded in
death by his father, Earle, and
mother, Irene Gilbertson.
He is survived by his
wife, Susan; his children,
Peter (April), and grandchil-
dren, Micah, Elsa and Miles,
of Sherwood, and Emily
(Chad), and grandchildren,
Daphne, Griffi n and Luca,
of Astoria; his four brothers,
James (Althea), Curt (Judy),
Lee and Neil; sister, Drue;
and many cousins, nieces
and nephews.
Ace will always be
remembered for his welcom-
ing personality, his quick wit,
infectious smile and his kind
and gentle spirit.
The family would like
to thank the Clatsop Care
Memory Community and
Providence Seaside Hospital
for the excellent and loving
care Ace received.
Memorial donations may
be made to the Alzheimer’s
Association,
Providence
Seaside Hospital and Seaside
Kids Inc.
A graveside service will
be held at Fort Stevens
National Cemetery in Ham-
mond on Aug. 6 at 11 a.m.
Arrangements are being
made by Ocean View Funeral
and Cremation Services of
Astoria.
