CHEHALIS – It wasn’t even one of the more difficult hikes they’d done.
Brian Marshall Jones, his wife Brenda Cyrus and their 9-year-old granddaughter Athena were on their way out of a five-day trek on part of the Pacific Crest Trail when his 47 years on this earth came to an end.
They’d taken the East Crater Trail to Lake Sahalee Tyee in Skamania County, Cyrus said.
“It was very sudden, very unexpected,” she said.
Jones, a Toledo native who relocated to Battle Ground, had coronary disease, he wife said.
It happened on Aug. 12 and she recalls with warmth the “wonderful souls” on the trail who stayed with them until search and rescue could reach them.
A celebration of life is set for Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Woodland Grange. The address is 404 Davidson Ave.
The information technology specialist is known to many as the bass player with the Winlock-based band, Two Minute Miracle.
The group is coordinating a memorial poker run on Sept. 24, which begins at 10 a.m. at The Club tavern in Winlock. All are welcome. The proceeds will assist Jones’ family.
