J.D was a talented man who had many jobs and many friends in many places. He enjoyed Harley motorcycles and cars. He was a story-teller and loved to talk to people.

For the last 25 years, J.D lived in Tyler, Wash. and he loved it there. He was very active in the Tyler community and was a member of the Tyler Grange. He was a friend to all and willing to help anybody. He is greatly missed. He will be laid to rest in a short ceremony at Fairview Cemetery in Cheney on Aug. 11 at 1 p.m. followed by a get-together of J.D’s friends at the Tyler Grange.
