NEWPORT— It is with great sadness that the family of Marion Dean Orthman Jr. announces his passing at the age of 52 on Friday, Feb. 1, 2019 after battling complications due to a snowmobile accident.
Born Aug. 18, 1966 in Angwin, California to Dean and Tralece Orthman, he lived in his childhood home in Napa, California until 1980 when the family moved to Newport.
He unselfishly dedicated his time to helping others. His fun-loving humor will be greatly missed by all who were blessed to be a part of his life.
A memorial service will be held Sunday, Feb. 10, 2019 at 3 p.m. at the Claremont Seventh-Day Adventist Church, 2 Marcotte Ave, Claremont, NH 03743, a church that was very dear to his heart. It will be followed by a potluck meal, so please feel free to join his family and friends in celebrating a life that was so suddenly cut short.
In lieu of flowers, please consider giving to his burial expenses by sending contributions to the care of Dean Orthman Sr. 47 Croydon Turnpike, Croydon NH 03773. Or at www.gofundme.com/helpdeanorthmanjr.
