() Steve Kinne Memorial Service

[Guest guest]

To the Friends and Collegues of Dr. Kinne:

Steve Kinne passed away at his home Friday morning, Dec. 20, 2002. He had

long been suffering from Congestive Heart Failure caused by a

Cardiomyopathy. Althought extremely tired and fighting extreme symptoms

associated with CHF, Dr. Kinne continued to practice and be productive. His

worst fear was to slowly progress into an incapacitated state and become a

burden on his wife and family. His death was sudden. He got up from

sleeping, stumbled to the bathroom and collapsed. He wife was immediately

by his side and gave CPR until the EMTs arrived. They were not able to

revive him. His death was quick and painless just as he had hoped for.

He leaves behind his wife Kimber and four young children, Deirdre age 14,

Bridget age 12, Ian age 10, and Meara age 7. His wish was to be cremated

and to have a simple, informal memorial service. The memorial service has

been set for January 1, 2003 at Wauds Funeral Home in Tillamook, Oregon at

11:00 a.m. In lew of flowers, friends may contrubute to a special trust

fund that is being set up at Klamath Bank for his children. For

information, call Klamath First Bank Tillamook Branch (503)842- 7576.

Any other questions, call Tillamook Chiropractic Clinic (503)842-5951

An experience I had with Steve last Spring, tells a tale of what a great

Chiropractor and nice guy he was. I threw a rib out while at the Boy

Scout camp near Tillamook and called Steve's office to see if I could

get an adjustment,and was told to just drop by. Seems he abandoned an

appointment book a long time ago: if people need treatment, you stop by

and if the wait and your schedule match, you're in. Well, I had to wait

45 minutes- that place was like the airport at Christmas. When I did see

Steve, he did a great job with me and I felt instantly better. I asked

why he was so busy that day. He related that he had a heart problem, that

he was taking a few days away to receive some alternative care. Seems his

Cardiologist wanted to place him on disability and get him in line for a

heart transplant. His reply was " I've got four kids under 14 and lots of

patients that need me " He took the time to see a fellow D.C. in need

(wouldn't take a penny for the TX), and was just thinking of others. I

will miss him alot. Ron Johansen D.C. Portland
