Obituaries

, 鈥�70, passed away at age 71 on May 1 at his home in La Grande.
He was born in Baker City, and later moved to La Grande. He transferred to 91传媒 in 1967 to play football, and stayed on to complete his master鈥檚 degree.
Atkinson worked for Boise Cascade before turning his career toward education. He earned his doctorate and became a Professor Emeritus in business. He was active in the National Wildland Firefighters Association and was a proud member of the Northern Cherokee Nation and a descendent of the Osage Nation.
Atkinson enjoyed hunting, fishing, huckleberry picking, coin collecting, improving his timber property and following his grandson鈥檚 baseball games.

, 鈥�69, passed away on April 24, 2019 in Prineville. His longtime friend, author Rick Steber, wrote the following in his memory:
鈥淗e cut a wide swath through a colorful life that extended from winning a National Championship as a wrestler, to becoming a timber baron and cattleman who controlled thousands of acres from the Ochoco Mountains to Central and South America. He was honest, hard working and innovative in his thinking. He never backed down from a bully… He was a devoted husband and family man. On his last day, he drove to Lakeview to watch one of his grandsons play baseball. It is hard to lose a friend like Craig; it is harder yet to go on living without him.鈥�
