John Scott Townsend

John beat thyroid cancer in 2008. He suddenly passed away in Bend on Friday from an unknown rare brain tumor.

He was born in Escondido, CA, to Rodney and Charlotte Townsend. At age 10, he moved to Monmouth, OR, where he later graduated from Central High. John most enjoyed the outdoors hunting and fishing, spending time with his 10-year-old son Logan, and was involved in coaching softball for Sisters Little League.

He was a Commercial Glazier by trade, and worked on projects such as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Seattle, and the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville.
