Edward Scott Beam          CHS
August 8, 1955 - February 4, 2006

Edward Scott Beam, 50, of Eagle Point, died February 4, 2006 of natural causes.

Born in Enterprise, Oregon on August 8, 1955, Ed lived in many places during his life, but called Oregon, and where his family was, his home. He lived in the Rogue Valley much of his life.

After his high school graduation near Corvallis, Ed traveled, traded, and learned about a life of which most people know little.

He settled in Portland, Oregon, where he graduated from Portland Community College with an Associate Degree in Computer Science. He worked for Boeing Aircraft, receiving praise for his sharp mind and ability to be a "quick study". His dream of working there ended when Boeing was forced into a lay-off mode.

His life after Boeing was filled with computers, Computer Tech Support jobs, friends, family, and the dream of the perfect job.

Ed was a jeweler, a musician, a collector, a magician, a jokester, a remote-control airplane pilot, a model airplane builder, a person capable of fixing almost anything, a friend to the friendless.

Ed is survived by his father, Kenneth Joseph Beam, Medford; his brother, Joseph William Beam, Austin, Texas; his sister, Jackie Gramcko, Medford; his two nieces, Laura Herman, Phoenix, OR, and Casey Gramcko, San Francisco; his nephew, Michael Beam, New York; and many aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by his mother, Julia Ruth Beam.

Ed was a devout Christian, finding peace in the thought of total acceptance by God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

Steven Soule         CHS
Feb. 7, 1956 — June 9, 2017
Steve was born in the Territory of Alaska, February 7, 1956, the first child of B. Linn Soule and Donna Brokken. An early talker, he never stopped. At 18 months and already bilingual, he translated for his parents during their one year residence in Germany. Later, in Ohio, he skipped second grade. In 1966, the family moved to Corvallis, where Steve was an Honor Society member, a 1973 State of Oregon Scholar, and finalist in the National Merit Scholarship Program before graduating from Corvallis High School in 1973.
He did very well at Stanford University and won intramural championships in golf, free throws, and ultimate Frisbee. With friends, he painted houses every summer, and participated in a big brother program. He loved his time at Stanford, especially his three months in the overseas program in Florence, Italy. 
He said the best thing he ever did was to marry Marlene K. Lamp, MD, who shared his passions for sports, travel and just being outdoors. They met while they were both students at the University of Michigan Medical School in 1980. Both Steve and Marlene worked as emergency physicians in the San Francisco Bay Area. On June 20, 1987, they married and moved to Los Angeles, where Steve completed a residency in Anesthesiology at UCLA. Erik was born in 1988 and Olivia arrived in 1990. Steve became board certified in Anesthesiology and the family moved to Ventura, CA in 1991. Steve spent the next 25 years working at St. John's Regional Medical Center in Oxnard. He was active in physician leadership, serving as Chairman of the Department of Anesthesia, and ultimately the President of the entire Medical Staff. After his liver transplant on February 1, 2016, he began to recover amazingly well; golfing and snow skiing within three months and later learning to wakeboard. On September 11, he ran the Ventura Half Marathon. He felt better than he had in 16 years, but two weeks later he was stricken with widespread bile duct cancer. This was treated with chemotherapy, which gave him several months of remission. 
Over the years the family travelled widely, attending annual Lamp reunions, hiking, biking and skiing in Europe, visiting the National Parks, and frequently visiting Steamboat Springs, Lake Tahoe and Oregon. Steve did not let his illness slow him down. In his late 50's, working on his "bucket list", Marlene and Steve climbed Half Dome and hiked the Grand Canyon's Bright Angel Trail. As late as early 2017, they took 30 mile bike trips with friend, Dan. Steve knew that his life was coming to an end and in order to make things easier for his family, he made plans for his memorial and wrote most of his own obituary. He always liked to plan ahead. 
Steve is survived by his wife, Marlene; daughter Olivia; son Erik; mother Donna Brokken and her husband Ray; father Linn Soule and his wife Patricia; sister Linnelle Brown; brothers Charlie and Matt; many cousins, nieces, nephews; and an aunt and uncle. His celebration of life will be scheduled at a later date.  May he be lying in green pastures and walking beside still waters.
