Dr. Michael J. Markham

Michael James Markham December 16th, 1946 – December 7th, 2008 Mike Markham grew up in Riddle, Oregon graduating as a three sport letterman and salutatoriun. He graduated from Oregon State University where he became a 5’9� starting guard on the basketball team and also a catcher on the baseball team. He attended OHSU and practiced neurosurgery, retiring in 2007. His devotion to his profession was expressed by his skill and compassion. Mike is survived by his sons Jeff and Luke Markham, both of San Francisco, his father William Markham and brothers, Pat and William Markham. He is also survived by Levi Query, the love of his life for the past 22 years and her children, Crystal, Nate and Toby. This remembrance is brief in deference to Mike’s aversion to accolades and the spotlight. He quietly excelled at being a good human being, one who added immeasurably to the world in all respects. A gathering to honor Mike will be held at a yet undetermined date and time. Remembrances to OSU Scholarship, Forest Park foundation or Golden Retriever Rescue, may be sent in his name.
