John Frank Pearson V 1987 - 2021
John Pearson, deeply loved son of Becky and Jay Pearson of McMinnville, Oregon, and beloved brother of Zak Pearson of Chicago, was born March 27, 1987, in McMinnville, and passed away unexpectedly April 19, 2021, at home in McMinnville.
Growing up in McMinnville, John enjoyed family camping trips to national and state parks, skiing, river rafting and fishing lakes and streams. Marion Lake above the North Santiam River Gorge and the lakes and streams along the Cascade Lakes Highway near Bend were particular favorites of his. John was always in search of the unexplored and spent much of his time seeking out new adventures along the less traveled trails in Washington, Oregon and the wilderness throughout the Southwest.

President Joe Biden declared that âAmerica is rising anewâ as he called for an expansion of federal programs to drive the economy past the coronavirus pandemic and broadly extend the social safety net on a scale not seen in decades.
Bidenâs nationally televised address to Congress, his first, raised the stakes for his ability to sell his plans to voters of both parties, even if Republican lawmakers prove resistant. The Democratic president is following Wednesday nightâs speech by pushing his plans in person, beginning in Georgia on Thursday and then on to Pennsylvania and Virginia in the days ahead.Â
