February 14th, 1949 - February 18th, 1991
I only knew Jim through my best friend, Keith Seaton and then running into him at South. Jim and Keith both worked at the Mayfair Market on Hilyard and 29th during their high school years (replaced by the new existing Albertson's). Keith didn't have a car until his senior year but since he only lived a couple of houses down from me on 41st Ave, he would convince me to pick him up in the evenings after work, especially if the weather was bad! Jim was usually leaving then too, so we would often hang out a little before we all left the parking lot.
I was always impressed with both Jim and Keith because they worked 40 hours a week inaddition to going to school. A heavy load for them both.
In their senior year, one of the managers at the Mayfair swithed to Bi-Mart on West 18th. My recollection is that Jim went with him when he left for Bi-Mart. Keith followed them a few months later.
Keith went into the military after high school but returned to Eugene about 5 years later and went to the Uof O. He would run into Jim every now and then and they would BS about the world. After Keith received his degree, the also reaturn to active duty and left Eugene. I mention this because the last I heard of Jim was from Keith in 1991, when someone contacted Keith to let him know of Jim's death. Keith then called me to pass along the sad new, as it was a shock to us both since Jim died so young. Now I like to imagine them organizing ball games in the great beyond! :-)

Obituary:
March 12th, 1949 - January 22nd, 2001
Born in 1949 to Ernest and Wanita Seaton of Drain, Douglas County Oregon. He was the youngest of their three boys and was raised in Drain until his eleventh year, when his mother collapsed at home and died of an apparent cerebral hemorrhage.
Shortly after his mother's death, Keith and his father moved to Eugene, where Keith's middle brother attended the university and where his oldest brother and family lived in Springfield. Keith attended Spencer Butte Jr. High and graduated from South Eugene high school in 1967. Immediately after high school Keith attended Outward Bound survival training in the Cascades and then went into the Navy that fall.
Keith's Naval career began during the Vietnam War, when he entered the submarine service. He often joked that in that "filtered" environment, were the only years of his life that he wasn't plagued with hay fever. After 4 years of active duty, Keith returned to Eugene to obtain his degree from the U of O in Geography, all the time continuing in the Naval reserve. It was during this time he met Wanda, a young divorcee and her daughter, Sheila. After their wedding and his receiving a degree, Keith resumed his active career, serving at times on sub-tenders and destroyers.
Approximately 1980, Keith was offered and accepted Officer's Training school. Upon his promotion, he and Wanda separated as she had tired of the travelling involved with being a Navy wife, and Keith was returned to sea duty. In the late 1980's while on leave in California he became reacquainted with Diana Brumfield, who had been in the bridal party of a friend's wedding. They later married while he was stationed at a Naval Reserve center in North Dakota. She accompanied him to duties in San Diego, California; Japan; and Portland, Oregon, where he retired after 30 years of service and began volunteering for the Clark County Red Cross.
Keith died unexpectedly from complications following a surgical procedure. He was survived by his wife, Diana of Vancouver, WA and step-daughters Amy and Sarah; his father, Ernest Seaton of Eugene, OR.; brothers Ernest Jr. and wife Sharon Seaton, of Springfield, OR.; and Robert Seaton of Alaska; and former wife Wanda Seaton of Fayetteville, AR and step-daughter Shelia.
