PENDLETON — The governor told several hundred people gathered at Staff Sgt. Tane Travis Baum's memorial service Thursday that Baum represented "all that is best in Oregon," and that he was "a model of the citizen soldier." Baum died Sept. 25, along with fellow Pendleton National Guard member Warrant Officer Adrian Stump, 22, when their CH-47 Chinook helicopter crashed in Afghanistan. Baum and Stump were deployed to Kandahar in March with D Company, 113 Aviation Detachment. Their helicopter crashed while supporting troops in the field, but the Army has not announced the cause of the crash. Gov. Ted Kulongoski, speaking at the Army Aviation Support Facility, said the message of their deaths is unmistakable: "This conflict is not over." Kulongoski, a former Marine who has attended every funeral of an Oregon soldier killed in Afghanistan or Iraq, said he prays every morning during his walk that "no more of Oregon's sons and daughters be taken from us in either of the conflicts we're now engaged in." Baum and Stump were the first Oregon casualties since June and are the 51st and 52nd Oregon soldiers to die in the conflicts. The 30-year-old Baum was remembered as a loving husband and father who enjoyed hunting with family, motorcycles, and staying physically fit. "He was known to be very kind and happy," said Pastor Kenny Harrington, who officiated at the memorial service at the aviation facility and later at Olney Cemetery. "He was a shy, personal man but was always able to make friends." The massive bay of the aviation facility had chairs set up for 600. They were filled, and many other mourners stood during the service, which began and ended with bagpipe music.
Pallbearers Thad Baum, Rob Mansfield, Pat Robbins, Steve McDaniel, Monty Davis, Allen Kendall, Jason Langston and Rick Howland solemnly walked Baum's casket in and out under the giant mechanical door that's big enough to accommodate Chinooks. An American flag that covered much of the north wall and a Chinook served as backdrop for the speakers. "We've all lost an irreplaceable part of our lives and future," the governor said. But he added that Baum willingly went into harm's way "out of a profound sense of duty ... to defend our country and its values." Maj. Gen. Fred Rees of Helix, adjutant general of the Oregon National Guard, said he was proud of the steady growth of the Pendleton unit, beginning in the early 1980s with borrowed equipment. The unit now is sought after to perform "global missions ... Tane contributed to that." Baum joined the Army National Guard in December 1995 and was hired full time at the Army Aviation Support Facility in Pendleton in 1997, the same year he married Tina May Broncheau. They met when he was a senior at Weston-McEwen High School. Before joining the "War on Terror" in Afghanistan, Baum's Chinook crew was involved in several firefighting missions and a dramatic rescue on Mt. Adams in 2004. Rees posthumously awarded Baum the Bronze Star and Purple Heart, presenting them to his widow while his sons Dyllan and Caelan looked on. Baum's ribbon for duty in Afghanistan, Operation Enduring Freedom and the Oregon Distinguished Service Award were displayed on a table near the entrance. Many at the memorial drove to Olney Cemetery afterward as the gray morning transformed into a brilliant fall day. Dozens of workers and residents stood along the roadway through town to show their support and respect, many holding flags and signs of support. At the cemetery, after a rifle salute, soldiers folded the flag that had been draped over Baum's coffin as the whacking of helicopter rotors grew louder. As Gen. Rees presented the flag to Tina Baum, a Chinook rumbled over the treetops in a final salute to the fallen soldier.
------
Aged 30. Killed in near Deh Chopan, Afghanistan when the helicoper he was in crashed. According to the reports "the conclusion was that it was hostile fire." He is the son of Danny & Brenda Baum (div). 1997 married Tina May Broncheau. They are the parents of Dyllon & Caelan. He is the grandson of Percy Baum.
