September 09, 2010
Alvin Charles Asher, a Prineville resident, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Friday, Sept. 3, 2010, at his home where he lived with his family for 50 years. He was 75 years old.
Funeral Services will be held on Sat., Sept. 11, at 9:30 a.m. at Juniper Canyon Baptist Church, in Prineville. Graveside services will follow at Juniper Haven Cemetery in Prineville. Potluck will be held at the church immediately after. Family and friends are encouraged to attend. Pastor Brad Whitbracht will officiate.
Alvin was born to Charles William & Lou Veda (Hibbitts) Asher on Feb. 11, 1935 in Maplesville, Laurel County, Ky.
He was raised in London, Ky. As a boy he was a hard worker. For fun he loved to fox hunt with his dog 'Shorty'. There was many a night he would sleep under the leaves because Shorty was on a scent.
Alvin was saved & baptized at the young age of six in a creek at the Old Salem Baptist Church, in London, Ky. He loved the Lord and found good in everyone he met. He was a member of the Juniper Canyon Baptist Church in Prineville.
He attended and graduated from Bush High School in London, Ky in 1954. He then went into the Air Force in 1956 where he proudly served his county in the Korean War as a radio operator/ mapper, a special services security officer, and helped save a friend's life. While serving in the Air Force he had special training in Heavy Diesel Electric Mechanics, which would serve as his livelihood for the next 50 years. He traveled to many different parts of the world, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, The Philippines, just to name a few.
While home on leave in 1957, Alvin met the love of his life and future bride of 50 years; Carole Sue Shell. After being discharged in 1960 he came to Prineville to make his home after marrying Carole on June 18, 1960 in Prineville.
Alvin worked at Clear Pine as a Diesel mechanic and 10 years at Consolidated Pine; retiring in 2005. He had a private pilot's license and flew rented planes out of Bend. He taught several local residents how to operate heavy equipment. Alvin operated excavation equipment all over Central Oregon helping develop subdivisions and high electric lines.
Alvin is survived by his wife Carole Asher, of Prineville, whom he lovingly called 'Blondie'; daughters, Kendra Sue & her husband Alfred Bond, Donna Jean & her husband, JR Anderson; sons, Thomas Alvin & his wife Yelena Asher, and David Allen & his wife Theresa Asher all of Prineville; sister, Bille Jean Smith of Prineville; brother, Melvin Asher & his wife Diana of Alfalfa.
Alvin is survived by nine Grandchildren, Karole Sue Bond of Eugene, Ore., Logan Alfred Bond of Prineville, Timothy Alvin Asher of Tigard, Ore., Kalysa AlJean Bond of Eugene, Ore., Matthew Allen Asher, Galina Carole Asher, Marrisa Lynn Asher, and Katie Jean Anderson, all of Prineville, and Chad Anderson of Richland, Wash.; one Great- grandson, Trent Ryan Anderson of Richland, Wash.
He was preceded in death by both of his parents; brothers, Calvin and Bill Asher; two grandchildren, Kendra Alfreda Bond and Ryan James Anderson.
Alvin was a strong but humble man who loved and honored his God, his country and his family. He enjoyed building and restoring lots of cars. He also enjoyed bee keeping. He absolutely adored his children and grandchildren and had nick- names for all of them. He was very patriotic and loved the American Flag.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Juniper Canyon Baptist Church Building Fund at 309 SW Deer St. Prineville, OR 97754.
Arrangements are in the care of the Prineville Funeral Home.
