Mike Bentz, 51, was born Jan. 18, 1964 in Caldwell, Idaho to Ken and Anne Bentz of Drewsey.
He passed away on Thursday, May 14, 2015 in Juntura.
Mike was the youngest of the family, joining five brothers and one sister.  Raised on the family ranch he spent his young years outside working with cattle, trapping, fishing, hunting and a horse was always included.  Mike was horseback from when he was small child and both cattle and horses would define his working life. He became a respected cattleman and accomplished horseman and was able to use both to make a living and as a tool to help raise his children and many others.
Mike went to Pine Creek School for elementary, a one room school with never more than 10 kids.  He could check his coyote traps at recess and ride his colts when he got home.  He then went to high school in Burns, living with his grandmother during the week, back home on the weekends.  He played football and spent a lot of time with a young lady named Linda Clemens.  Summers were spent learning the business of ranching, at cow camp with the cattle or in the hay field.  Mike attended TVCC, Hartnell College in Salinas and Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, occasionally going to class but the focus was on rodeo.  In college, he rode saddle broncs and participated in many amateur and professional rodeos.  When he figured he had broken enough bones it was back to begin his ranching career.
Mike married Linda in 1989 and they began their lives together on the Venator ranch SE of Crane, which along with the Wright ranch near Princeton were spilt from the family ranches to help get the young couple started.  They spent 11 years at Venator raising their five children and producing good cattle and fine horses.  In 1997, Mike had the opportunity to purchase part of the Williams ranch in Juntura.  In the next few years he was able to put the rest of the ranch together to become one of the largest family ranches in the state.  He, along with his brother Jim, were the driving force behind the Ranchers Horse sale held each June. Last year marked the 20th Anniversary of the Horse Sale.  Also, he and his wife Linda have hosted an annual bred heifer sale held on the ranch every November.
Mike was aggressively professional at everything he did.  He lived life without fear, attacking and overcoming every obstacle with hard work, tenacity, brain power and strong will.  He was seemingly gruff at times but in reality was kind, gentle and thoughtful.  He was a Christian, a husband, father, horseman, skilled pilot, and accomplished cattleman. He was a spectacular roper, able to make it look effortless. He was a leader that everyone was drawn to, and even those whose feathers he ruffled respected him.  Mike was a fine hand with young horses, working with hundreds colts and nearly as many young people in the process.
He spent the last 15 years on various boards such as the Juntura Rangeland Fire Association, the Juntura School Board and Road District, and the Malheur Soil and Water Conservation District. His greatest concern was preserving our ranching tradition, truly improving sage grouse habitat and lobbying to keep the sage grouse from being listed. Mike was a true steward of land, livestock, people and his industry and community. He never passed up the opportunity to take on a project that would help make any of those better.
Mike was preceded in death by his mother Anne Stewart Bentz; Grandparents Stewart’s and Bentz’s.
He is survived by his wife and best friend Linda; father Ken Bentz; children Ethan, Garrett, Erika, Britton, Joe; soon to be daughter-in-law Alex; brothers and sisters-in-law Cliff and Lindsay Bentz, Jim and Alicia Bentz, Andy and Joan Bentz and Kenny and Debbie Bentz; brother John Bentz; sister and brother-in-law Kathy and Jim Neal; grandson Colton.
Mike lived his life the way he wanted to and he would often say that he was “living the dream”, how true and special that is. His big smile and big laugh will be greatly missed by all of us that love him.
Services were held Friday, May 22, 2015 at Holy Family Catholic Church in Burns.
A memorial has been set up called the Young Ranchers Land and Livestock Fund to continue Mike’s passion for helping young people get started in the ranching industry. We ask that all financial gifts go to either the memorial fund or to Greg Walden, who is the biggest supporter of agriculture in Washington D.C. You can make your check out to either:  Young Ranchers Land and Livestock Fund or Greg Walden for Congress.  Mail to: LaFollette’s Chapel, PO Box 488; Burns,Oregon 97720.  Please go to www.lafolletteschapel.com and sign the guest book for the family.

He was born in Eugene, but Doug grew up in Lakeview.  After graduating from Lakeview High School in 1968, Doug entered the Navy and served during the Vietnam War.  Once out of the military, Doug followed his love of skiing, working and playing in a variety of ski resorts while supporting himself with summer jobs in construction.

Doug married Ricarda McCleary on June 21, 1980 and they enjoyed a long, happy marriage together.  Their daughter Alexa was born on Aug. 30, 1983.  Alexa and the grandchildren brought out the phrase, “Who needs some love?!”  This was accompanied with hugs and giggles.  He doted on his grandchildren, his daughter and especially his wife, Ricarda.
Doug loved the outdoors, skiing and summer motorcycle road trips with his buddies, Marty Chaloupka, Cody and Casey Gunderson and Keith Castel, among others.  Another favorite pastime was arrowhead hunting with his best friend, Larry Utley.  He was also known as a “neat freak” keeping his properties ship-shape and tidy.

She was employed by the Lower Columbia Creamery, until her marriage to Robert Wilkinson Reed in September, 1941. Jean was a busy farm wife while raising six children.  The Reed home, on Clatsop Plains, was a bustling hub of activities.  The dinner table was always crowded with immediate family, friends of the children and hungry bachelors.
After the children were raised, Jean was employed as a bookkeeper for Louma CPA and Crown Zellerbach.  While working at Crown Zellerbach, Jean met and later married, Dan C. Moore of Seaside.
Jean’s retirement years were spent collecting buttonhooks, Hull pottery, Norman Rockwell figurines and antique furniture.  Jean enjoyed making cross-stitch samplers for her family and playing Skip-Bo on a daily basis with family and friends.  When playing cards with Jean, you needed to bring your “A” game. The Oregon coast, razor clam dinners, warm weather and Phillip’s Candies truffle mints were among Jean’s favorites.
Jean was preceded in death by her parents; husbands; infant son, Bruce; daughter, Rebecca Reed Kiely; stepdaughter, Janet Diaz and sister Lois Robben.
Jean is survived by: her son, William Reed (Madeleine), Warrenton; daughters, Judy Wiswall (Richard) Pasco, Wash.; Sally Maxwell (Larry) of Lakeview; Andrea Flynn (Dennis) of Lakeview and Carolyn O’Leary (Jerry) of Paisley; step-daughter Chris Waugh (Bruce) Otter Rock; sister Margy Smith of Astoria and special family friend Cathy Coleman (Steve) of Molalla.  Jean leaves her 18 grandchildren, great-grandchildren and nieces and nephews with whom she was close.
