OBITUARIES
Derek Alan Gascoigne
Estie Frier-Brown
Seaside
Jan. 2, 1961 — June 1, 2022
Vancouver, Washington
March 16, 1930 — May 12, 2022
Derek “Derk” Alan Gas-
coigne was born Jan. 2,
1961, in Corvallis to Jim
and Peggy (Johnson) Gas-
coigne. Shortly after he was
born, his family moved to
Astoria, where his younger
brothers, Ken and Paul,
were born.
After spending his for-
mative years in the Astoria
School District, Derk grad-
uated in June 1979 from
Astoria High School.
After high school, Derk
attended a meat cutter
school in Cottage Grove,
then was employed as a
meat cutter for Gene’s Meat
Market in Mehama.
Derk’s son, Alan, was
born in October 1986. The
birth of his son was one of
the best days of Derk’s life.
Always looking for his
next adventure, Derk was
drawn to many careers
throughout his life. He
found his professional home
and his work family as a
tax preparer, bookkeeper
and all-purpose accountant
for William MacLean in
Seaside.
At long last, Derk fell in
love with his soulmate, Col-
leen Gould, as well as her
two sons, Nick and Mitch-
ell. In April 2007, along
with Alan, they all became a
family when Derek and Col-
leen married.
Derk treated all three
of his sons as his own, and
made lasting impressions on
both them and their friends
by off ering his support, and
his home, whenever it was
needed.
As a child, his parents
taught Derk a solid work
Derek Gascoigne
ethic, which he demon-
strated throughout his life.
This ethic was also demon-
strated in one of his favor-
ite activities, swimming.
He spent hours on Astoria’s
swim team preparing for
many competitions.
Derk had a passion for
the extreme. He loved being
a daredevil with his younger
brothers. Sometimes he made
it through these challenges
unscathed, and even more
rarely, he confessed to his
parents his epic adventures.
Derk loved the outdoors,
and spent as much time as he
could camping and fi shing.
As a youngster, many fam-
ily summer trips were made
to the Wallowas, a favorite
destination for both Derk
and his father, Jim. When
he met his wife, Colleen, he
truly found his equal in his
love of nature.
Derk’s other great love
was his motorcycle. He con-
tinued to love it, even after
a major accident as a young
adult that left him in a par-
tial body cast.
To those who loved him,
Derk can best be described
as respectful and consider-
ate, with a kind and gentle
soul. Whenever he faced a
challenge, his positive atti-
tude and strong work ethic
would always see him
through.
Derk is survived by so
many who cared about
him, including his wife,
Colleen; son, Alan; step-
sons, Nick and Mitch Ste-
phens; mother, Peggy (Gas-
coigne) Snyder; stepfather,
John Snyder; brother, Ken
Gascoigne, and his wife,
Janique; brother, Paul Gas-
coigne, and his wife, Alli-
son; brother and sister-in-
law, John Gould and Beate
Wilson; half-sister, Krista
Toole, and her husband,
Ken; half-brother, Jim Shep-
herd, and his wife, Andrea;
and step-siblings, Reuben
and Leah Snyder.
Derk also had aunts,
uncles, nieces, nephews,
cousins and friends who
will miss him dearly. He
was like a second father to
many of his sons’ friends,
who will continue to hold
him in their hearts.
Derk passed suddenly,
and unexpectedly, from a
heart attack. He was pre-
ceded in death by his dad,
Jim Gascoigne, and both
sets of his grandparents.
In celebration of Der-
ek’s life, an open house will
be held from 1 to 4 p.m.
on July 16 at the Warren-
ton Community Center, 170
S.W. Third St. in Warrenton.
Please bring stories to share.
Arrangements have been
made through Hughes-Ran-
som Mortuary.
Estie Frier-Brown was
born in a farmhouse in
Arkansas in 1930. Her
two sisters were Ola (Con-
nie) Heller, of Vancouver,
Washington, and Alveriah
Dreiszus, of Ashland. Soon
after, her baby brother, Olan
Canamore, known as Ole,
was born.
The three sisters were
baptized in a small rice
pond in a pasture outside
of Brookland, Arkansas,
in the 1930s. Her father,
Olan Canamore, was born
in Arkansas, and was in the
U.S. Army, stationed at the
Vancouver,
Washington,
barracks. Her mother, Beu-
lah Davis, was born in Van-
couver, the only girl of nine
boys (the Davis clan).
Estie came out west to
Vancouver in 1945, where
she went to Shumway
Junior High and Vancouver
High School, Class of 1949,
in Vancouver. She married
Harry Frier, and they had
two daughters, Denice and
Bonnie Frier, who each had
two children.
Estie worked at a beauty
shop after school, and later
attended beauty college
in downtown Portland. In
1959, Estie helped open
the Seasider Restaurant and
Lounge in Seaside, at the
Turnaround, now the Shilo
Inns Seaside Oceanfront.
She soon opened Estie’s
Tap Room with Bud Painter
down on Broadway in Sea-
side. Later, she opened the
small Bon Dee Restaurant,
formerly the White Spot,
located on the opposite side
of the Pig ‘N Pancake to
Estie’s Tap Room.
Estie Frier-Brown and Bud Painter
Estie’s brother, Olan, was
part owner of the Top-O-
Scott Steakhouse in south-
east Portland. She bought
out Olan’s partner to go in
business with her brother.
Later, Estie and Olan
bought the Harmony Inn in
Portland, and she renamed
it Brother’s Club, and they
had it for the next 13 years.
Later they built a bar and
restaurant at the Gresham
Golf Course and called it
The Bon Heur (which meant
good hour). They also had
the Estie’s Hide Away on
Oregon Highway 212 in
Clackamas. Her brother’s
wife, Jackie, renamed it
Ole’s Medium Rare.
In 1969, Estie gave her
brother power of attorney
of the businesses and fl ew
to Taipei, Taiwan, and mar-
ried Ed Right, a chemi-
cal engineer out of Seattle.
She returned to Oregon for
the birth of a grandson, and
Right went missing out of
Saigon.
In 1975, she mar-
ried Norm Brown, now
deceased, in Vancouver.
She then managed the bar at
the Vancouver Elks Lodge
No. 823 for 20 years. She
joined the women’s aux-
iliary of the Elks in 1989,
the Emblem Club No. 473,
which she continued until
her passing.
Estie loved to golf,
downhill ski, sew, knit, cro-
chet and dance. She loved to
play house, and she had an
enormous amount of dishes!
She would set up for any
occasion you could imag-
ine! She loved her home and
working in her yard.
Once she retired from the
Elks, she really missed see-
ing all her friends whom she
loved, and they loved her.
Estie treated people like she
wanted to be treated; she
truly loved people. She had
a few sayings, “whip whip”
and “if you have a prob-
lem, rise above it.” She had
many good memories, right
up until the end of her life.
She is survived by her
daughter, Bonnie, and
many grandchildren and
great-grandchildren.
She
is preceded in death by her
daughter, Denice.
A memorial service was
held on Monday at 3 p.m. at
Evergreen Memorial Gar-
dens, 1101 N.E. 112th Ave.
in Vancouver.
