Deceased Name: Steve DeShazer
Feb. 28, 1955-Aug. 10, 2012
Steve DeShazer of Portland passed away Aug. 10 at Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland as a result of an allergic reaction to medication. He was 57.
Mr. DeShazer was born Feb. 28, 1955.
A proud lifelong Oregonian; he was a farm kid who was actively involved in 4-H, FFA and school activities. He played trombone in high school and won the John Phillip Sousa award as a senior. He graduated from St. Helens High in 1973 and later settled in Portland. He attended Portland Community College, was an avid reader and continued to learn throughout his life.
To say he was smart is an understatement. He had an exceptional memory and was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about many subjects, from astronomy, basketball and geology, to music and, especially, politics.
He was a compassionate person whose worldview encompassed values of social justice, equality and the importance of sticking up for the little guy.
He was a talented musician who was equally comfortable with classical music and punk rock. He played in many bands during his lifetime, including Region X, FDM, and the Worried Guys. His Portland punk band The Stiphnoyds is well loved and will long be remembered.
The most important part of his life was his family. He was a loving and devoted son, brother, husband, father and uncle who will be dearly missed. He cared for and supported his family during good times and bad.
He loved animals and nature and seemed most at peace when hiking, camping or taking his family on a road trip adventure.
His legacy of love and learning will live on through those who remember him.
He is survived by his beloved wife Michelle, daughter Staci, son Lucas, uncle David Larson and Jack the cat, all of Portland; uncle Loren DeShazer of Scappoose; and nephews and niece, Paul, Max and Olivia, of Warren.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Charlotte DeShazer; brother Craig DeShazer; and his loyal dog and travel companion, Charlie.Â
A celebration of his life will be held at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 9, at the University Park Community Center, 9009 N. Foss Ave., Portland.
Contributions in his memory may be made to the Citizens Utility Board of Oregon or the charity of one's choice.
