Dennis Downey
June 7, 1946 - September 26, 2017
Silverton - Dennis William Downey passed away at his home, overlooking his beautiful canyon, surrounded by his loving family and his faithful dog Murphy, at his side. He was the son of Bill and Muriel Downey from Lafayette, CA. He moved to Silverton with his family in 1973 and became a general building contractor in 1975 creating his company Dennis Downey Construction. He was an accomplished swimmer who also co-founded the Silverton Swim Team. He had a love for the outdoors and never missed the opportunity for adventure and fun. He is survived by his wife Cindy, three children Heather, Hope, Shawn, step-children, Jamie and Jake, and nine grandchildren. Until we meet again D-2. "Remember to tie a bell around your burro."
Service will be held at First Christian Church in Silverton at 2 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 20. In lieu of flowers, consider making a donation to the Dennis William Downey Memorial fund set up at Columbia Bank.

He was a very creative visionary. I will never forget his "castle" in the woods.
