"Dean" Lewis passed away Tuesday, Dec. 24, 2002, at Veterans Memorial Hospital. Dean was born April 27, 1921, in Malad City, Idaho, to John and Mary "Mollie" Lewis, the third of seven children. Dean exemplified the Lewis family predisposition for athletic ability and was described as one of the most versatile athletes in Idaho High School sports history. A Malad City High School 1939 graduate, he was an athletic standout as the first to win five letters in one year. After high school, he attended Albion State Normal College, Albion, Idaho, from 1939 to 1941 where his athletic prowess continued. Described as the most feared man on the football field he was captain of both the football and track teams, lettering two years in both sports; establishing state shotput and discus records. While in Albion, he also played two years of semi-professional basketball. After completing two years of academic study, he transferred to the University of Idaho. From 1941-1942, as captain of the football team, he earned two letters in football and made Third Team All Pacific Coast Conference. He earned two letters in track as the low hurdles champion in the college conference. In 1942, his name was inscribed on the Douglas Dingle Memorial Track Trophy as the senior who, in the estimation of his teammates, is outstanding in competitive achievement, sportsmanship and character throughout his career in track at the university. In 1941, he met Louise Honeychurch during a blind date. They were engaged in 1942, the same year both the Cleveland Rams and the U.S. government drafted him. He spent three years of active combat duty in World War II serving in the U.S. Army 37th Infantry Division as a private first class in the South Pacific Theater, fighting in Bougainville, Luzon, Guadacanal and New Georgia. During his military service, he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for heroic achievement on Luzon and later presented two oak leaf clusters in lieu of a second and third Bronze Star Medal for heroic actions against the enemy. He received the Combat Infantryman Badge for exemplary conduct in combat action in a major operation and he wore the Asiatic-Pacific campaign badge with battle stars. In 1945, he returned home with severe malaria. After enduring a three-year wait, Dean and Louise were married Feb. 21, 1946, in Spokane, Wash. He returned to the U of l from 1946-'47, concentrating on track. At that time New York Giants scouts offered Dad a tryout for the franchise, but the malaria had taken its toll on his health. He graduated in 1947 with a B.S. in education. In 1953 he returned to earn his M.S. degree. From 1947-'63 Dad was employed at Nampa High School. He fondly remembered his tenure in Nampa. In addition to his responsibilities as a senior high instructor and University of Idaho Extension instructor, his lifetime love of sports continued in a coaching capacity. He spent nine years as assistant football coach/head line coach and in 1949 was named Idaho East-West All-Star Football game coach, the only assistant coach to be named an all-star coach; three years as head football coach, six years as boxing coach, one year as girls' tennis coach, and 11 years as head track coach where he led Nampa to its first state track championship in 1951, and again in 1952. In 1949-'51 Dad was Boise- Snake River Valley All-Star Football business manager. In 1951, a 49ers representative contacted him for a tryout. Dad declined the invitation explaining he didn't feel his health would prevail. 1959-'62 he served as P.E. coordinator for the entire Nampa School District including seven elementary schools, two junior highs and the senior high school; 1958-1963 officiated football. While at Nampa, he and Louise became the parents of four children - three boys and one girl. In 1963, he left Nampa to take a position with the newly established Treasure Valley Community College in Ontario, Ore. As a P.E. instructor, he started with the new football program as assistant football coach in 1963, taking over the head coach position in 1964. In addition to his classroom duties, he coached track, intramural and lifetime sports. He remained at TVCC until his retirement in 1983.

Surnames: Deschamps, Davis, Griffiths Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Qg.2ADE/342 Message Board Post: Idaho State Journal, 12/27/02 MALAD — David Stephens Deschamps, Jr., age 78, prominent Oneida County cattleman and lifelong resident of St. John, passed away Tuesday, December 24, 2002, at the Oneida County Hospital emergency room, of complications due to chronic lung disease. Dave was born April 25, 1924, in Salt Lake City, Utah, the youngest son of David S. Deschamps Sr., and Mary Blanche Davis Deschamps. He joined three living brothers and three sisters at the Deschamps ranch house in St. John, in which he would make his lifelong home. His younger years fell during the Great Depression, but due to his father’s expertise in the cattle trading industry, Dave didn’t suffer the extreme effects of the era as many did. He said the hard-working family always had enough of what they needed. He rode his horse daily to the St. John School, where he earned the rank of eighth-grade class salutatorian. During those years he enjoyed traveling to rodeos with L.M. Camp, and he never missed an area fair, where he exhib ited championship Hereford cattle. His father taught him good work ethics, and all about the cattle industry and the wisdom of smart investing and dealing. He graduated from Malad High School in 1942. His mother insisted that he have musical training, so they finally settled on the saxophone, which he played in the high school band. He was quick to admit that his just-a-little-bit-older sister, Blanche, got his share of musical ability! He attended Utah State Agricultural College (later to become Utah State University) in Logan, where he eventually earned a bachelor’s degree in agriculture and economics. His college education spanned about 12 years due to his military service in two wars. During World War II he served in the Merchant Marines, guarding the shores of Catalina Island (!) and later in the U.S. Army in the Pacific on a gunship. He was among the first wave of soldiers which occupied Japan following the surrender. During the Korean War he served in southern France. Mingled with college time at Logan, and serving in the military, Dave traveled in Europe and worked for awhile on a freighter ship in the Suez Canal. He told of the ports he visited and was indelibly impressed with the low esteem in which many overpopulated regions regarded its own citizens. It was common for the ship to be loaded with ore one basket at a time, carried on the heads of residents. The men loaders in India were pai! d four bits (50 cents) per day, and the women received two bits. He came to really appreciate the wonderful life afforded him in the western United States. On one of his stints abroad he returned with a Jaguar (sports car) which was his pride and joy, and he used to travel to Acapulco on the newly opened highway which ran through Mexico. He and two buddies from Idaho lived in an apartment near the beach for about four months, until tragedy struck. While diving from the rocks into the surf, one of his friends struck the rocks below and died. It was a challenge for Dave to return his friend’s body to Idaho, at one point parting with a diamond ring to a less-than-honest Mexican official. Then came time to settle down. He married Carol Griffiths in Las Vegas and they honeymooned throughout the south and in Havana, Cuba, before returning to the cattle ranch in St. John. He was engaged in the cattle industry with his father and brothers, Louis and Parley. Dave provided a wonderful life for his two daughters, Barbara and Kristine, at the ranch. He made sure they had all the things important in a child’s life — horses to ride, haystacks and barns to conquer, trucks and tractors to drive, cattle to drive, corn to pick, calves to feed. For many years each Monday throughout the winter months, Dave would pack up a truckload of ready-for-market cattle, plus one of his daughters, and head for the Ogden Livestock Auction. This was more important schooling for his daughters than a day’s study in elementary school. Dave made sure his girls had it all. Throughout childhood and adult years, when his daughters encountered bumps along the way, he was always forgiving, supportive and optimistic, and did all he could to help them get life back on track. He held true to the motto “A Father Is A Banker Provided By Nature.�9D Throughout the years he and Carol provided employment and second homes for numerous young people needing a hand. They always enjoyed seeing them again. During the years, Dave enjoyed trap shooting, and racing horses, and entertaining lots and lots of friends. Untold amounts of ham and eggs were cooked at midnight in the Deschamps kitchen, lots of whiskey was shared and volumes of songs were sung around the oak table. Sunday afternoon barbecues were a regular occurrence year-round. He enjoyed yearly summer visits of his nieces and nephews who in-turn enjoyed many adventures on the ranch. There are a lot of rodeo cowboys and wannabe cowboys, but Dave was a real cowboy. He marked thousands of miles in a saddle. Roping and branding was all just part of the work, and his life, but it also was sport. Dave and Ken Blaisdell were known to try to ride Kristine’s Shetland pony, Mogley, around midnight. Mogley didn’t like boys, and would buck them off, but did like girls and would let the girls ride. When Kristine outgrew Mogley, he was moved to the Blaisdell ranch, where he became Ken’s daughter Sherry’s pony. She had no trouble riding him, even though two real cowboys — Dave and Ken — just couldn’t make the ride. He was proud of the East Lateral Gravity Irrigation System, which served the Deschamps farm along with several adjacent farms with pressurized water for sprinkling from the St. John Irrigation system. The gravity system was his brainchild and has continued to provide service for over 20 years. When he retired in the 1990s, Dave took up golfing, and for several years golfed daily. He enjoyed making a hole-in-one at Belmont, and especially enjoyed the friendships he made there. Dave was highly intelligent, feisty, quick at a comeback and enjoyed making a smart deal. He could bark orders and cuss better than the average Joe, and could figure intricate interest rates and agricultural prices in his head. He enjoyed reading everything, and subscribed to numerous newspapers and magazines. At age 74, Dave officially joined the computer generation. He bought a computer and learned to “surf the ’Net” and exchange e-mail messages and jokes (many of which were pretty scary!) with family and friends. He never stopped learning, and enjoyed sharing his jokes. Over the years, Dave was a member of many organizations including Sigma Nu fraternity, the Eagles, Idaho and National Cattlemen’s Association, and the Ernest W. Jones Post No. 65 of the American Legion, and served on several boards of directors including St. John Irrigating Co., Buist Fields Cattle Association and Oneida Grain Growers. He was a charter member of the Brigham City Elks Lodge, and at the time of his death was a member of Pocatello Elks Lodge. Dave enjoyed good friends, good tales, good whiskey and peanut butter. He lived life on his own terms, right up until the end. He was one of a kind. He is survived by his two daughters and sons-in-law, Barbara and John H. Walters, Seattle, Washington, and Kristine and Ron Smith, Pocatello; two granddaughters and one grandson-in-law, Leslie Anne and David F. Jones, Pocatello, and Jessica Lynne Walters, of Seattle and currently a student at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire; one brother, Ray Deschamps, Boise; and two sisters, Shelba Dredge, Malad, and Blanche (George) Weston, Lafayette, California; and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, Carol, who passed away in February 2002, two brothers, Louis Deschamps and Parley Deschamps, one sister, Mary Harris, two baby brothers who died in infancy, and his beloved only grandson, David Parley Jones. The family welcomes cards of condolence which can be appreciated at a less stressful time. Donations to the Oneida County Hospital Foundation are suggested. Close friends are invited to join in hoisting a toddy or other brew during a wake (not an Irish wake, but a French-Canadian-Indian- English-Welsh wake!) at the Deschamps ranch house in St. John, on Saturday, December 28 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
