Calvin E. Orwick, Jr. entered into rest after a heroic battle of multiple illnesses; surrounded by his family on February 16, 2024 at the age of 70. He was the husband of Wendy Orwick for 20 years.
Calvin (Jr) was born on September 24, 1953 to the late Calvin E. Orwick Sr. and Joan "Pat" Orwick Bracken. He graduated from Red Lion High School, Class of 1972. He grew up helping work on the family farm. He was employed by Harley Davidson, prior to starting his own Trim company "Orwick Bros" with his brother Dave. After closing the business, he returned to work at Harley then drove trucks for UPS. Calvin enjoyed Nascar, watching his Dallas Cowboys, New York Yankees and all the Western channels. After retirement, you could find Calvin driving around on his John Deere mower or 4-Wheeler making sure his nephew David was continuing to run the family farm correctly.
Besides his wife, Calvin leaves a step-daughter Casey Jarrett, her husband Kevin and 3 grandsons who were his joy. He is survived by his brother David M. Orwick, his companion Karen Beinhower, his sister Dorinda J. Grove, her husband and Calvin's close friend, Keith "Kat man" Grove and his sister Betti J. Saubel, her husband Greg and many nephews, nieces, aunts and uncles.
