The New Era - All about Sweet Home since 1929

Farewell to our beloved "HUCK FINN."

David James (Evans) Kamarec, 25, was born Oct. 11, 1995, in Lebanon.

He lived most of his life in and around Sweet Home. As a child, he also lived with his family in Burns. He also lived for a time with his father in Tillamook.

David was an adventure-seeking individual and spent a good deal of time exploring nature. He was an exceptional fisherman. He was strong physically, agile and graceful.

David had many friends whom he liked to visit and share life with. For most of his youth and into adulthood you could see David out and about with his constant companion dog, Nahannie.

David was loved deeply by so many. The memories of his life he shared with us will be greatly cherished.

David is survived by his father, Craig Evans; his mother, Christina Evans; his brother, Forest Steinborn; his sister Holly Kramarec; his grandmother, Kathy Kamarec, great-aunt Pennie Jones, great-uncle Mark Evans, and great-aunt Karyn Evans. David is also survived by two nieces and two nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 2 p.m. on Oct. 11 at Sunnyside Park, 44930 Quartzville Dr., Foster.
