What can be said about Jerry Drownedhog that hasn't been said a thousand times before? Jerry had a zest for life and loved to love. Jerry also loved the outdoors and could often be found at his beloved Freeman Lake swimming ...unfortunately Jerry wasn't such a strong swimmer in the end, leading to his untimely demise by misadventure. Jerry is survived by his best friend Frank "The Frog" Peterson and Cindy Conti. A celebration of life will be held at the Swan Hills dump on August 10th, 2015 at 2 pm. Pie and ice-cream will be served.

Holly Dorst, beloved wife, mother, sister, and daughter, died unexpectedly at home on July 3rd, 2015. She touched the lives of many Laramie residents, first through her work at the Albany County Safe Project and then for more than twenty years in private practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor. Since retiring several years ago, and despite chronic health problems, Holly traveled widely with her husband and loved spending days at home experimenting in her kitchen. She enjoyed expressing herself artistically and was an avid reader and writer, with many areas of interest. Anyone with the good fortune to have known Holly is aware that the world has lost a generous and compassionate spirit. Her sense of humor, wry and playfully wicked, endeared her to everyone. Above all, she was a wise and loving woman, a deeply nurturing mother, and a bottomless well of friendship and understanding to her husband of more than 40 years. A public memorial is being planned for September, 19th, 2015. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Holly’s favorite charity, Heifer International at www.heifer.org.

Michael McClelland, 57, a beloved and devoted husband and father passed suddenly on August 5, 2015 in Powder Springs, Georgia. He was born in China Lake, California and later moved to Portland, Oregon where he began his loving family and 37 year career with United Parcel Service.

Mike’s life was filled with passion for his family--his positive spirit and humor radiated. Constantly on-the-move, Mike lived his life to the fullest through boating, water skiing, snow skiing, bowling, softball and hunting. And of course we cannot overlook his affinity for corvettes and car shows.

Mike's creative talent and enthusiasm in serving God was present in his many community projects -- from building homes for Habitat for Humanity, to feeding the children, to fundraising events for Adopt-A-Platoon and domestic violence organizations. A natural leader, Mike often was called to serve on many councils and boards for these initiatives.

Mike's legacy will live on through his soul mate, Karen, his beloved children, Zachary, Kalena, and son-in-law Brandon, and his treasured grandchildren, Aysly and Finnian, his parents Robert and Joanne, and extended family both of blood and community.

We are truly blessed to have shared a positive, loving and adventurous life with Michael. Please share your fondest memories below.

Thank you for all the prayers and in lieu of flowers please make donations to his favorite charity to feed the children - STRIVE Entrepreneurs Inc, 48 Henderson Street SW, Marietta , GA , 30064, https://www.striveinc.org/services.html
