      John Echave and Kristen Echave

      On June 30, 2012, John "Jock" Martin Echave passed away at his home in Jordan Valley, Oregon. He was 70 years old.

      Jock was born on January 30, 1942, in Winnemucca, Nevada, the eldest son of John and Marge. He and his younger brother grew up at Oregon Canyon Ranch and enjoyed all the pleasures of ranch life. Jock was a gifted athlete and eventually played football at UNR, sporting the #33. In 1964, he marrried Karen Goodrich and they enjoyed the next 46 years together. They had three children: Kristen, Michon, and Jon.

      Jock enjoyed cattle work, riding horses, haying, and he was an avid trapper who also loved hunting the big bucks. He helped coach his kids sports teams and was a constant on the sidelines. He had his own plane and few all over the country watching his children. Later in life, he doted on his grandkids and spoiled them rotten.

      Jock is preceded in death by his wife Karen and parents Marge and John. He is survived by his daughter Michon (Jason) Schmidt and son Jon (Tara) Echave, three grandchildren Kaine and Bayley Baptist, John Jett Echave, his brother Frank (Sharon) EEchave, niece Elisa McDade and her children Savannah and J.W., niece Elaina Echave, niece Danielle (Augie) Mariezcurrena and children LaShae and Nichole, and nephew Frank Echave and son Cameron, mother-in-law Yolan Goodrich, sister-in-law Kristen (Bob) Tallman, niece Nicole (Daniel) Pennell and children Canyon and Cashly.

      An open house was held on July 7th at the home of Jon and Tara Echave, 3054 Dinwitty Lane, Jordan Valley, Oregon, for Jock and his daughter Kristen, who after a short hospital stay, passed away less than two full days after her father.

      Born in Winnemucca, Nevada, on November 20, 1967, Kristen Eileen was the first born child of Karen and Jock. A mirror image of her father, Kristen excelled at anything she set her mind to.Kristen was the true epitome of the All-American girl. Upon graduation she attended the University of Idaho on a full-ride academic scholarship pursuing a degree in veterinary medicine.

      In 1991, Kristen married Joe Baptist. They made their home at Oregon Canyon Ranch and had two wonderful children: Kaine Mathew (February 22, 1993) and Bayley Lorraine (January 19, 1997). Kristen enjoyed her children immensely and was always proud of them. She was their biggest fan and always believed in them regardless of their life choices.

      Friends and family will cherish many fond memories of Kris. She was well-known for being a fantastic cook, hunting, singing and dancing to music, her natural humor, and brutally honest personality, strong willed nature and true belief in relationships. Some of her closest relationships included the following: her nephew JJ, her lifelong friends Michelle Muguira and Dolly Lau Green, cousin Elisa, siblings Michon and Jon, and of course her beloved children.

      Kristen has always had a truly special relationship with her parents, especially her father. How fitting it be that they pass away close together where they can take care of each other.
