William Stohr Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Macy & Son Funeral Home and Cremation Services on Mar. 3, 2026.
William Dean Stohr, 88, passed away on February 27, 2026. He was born on January 4, 1938, in Kansas City, Missouri.

Dean proudly served his country in the United States Air Force and carried that same sense of duty and integrity throughout his life. Following his military service, he dedicated many years to working at Oregon City High School, where he became a respected and familiar presence in the community. He believed in hard work, responsibility, and supporting those around him.

Above all, Dean was a devoted father and grandfather who loved his family deeply. He is survived by his son and daughter, as well as his grandchildren, who will carry forward his memory and the values he instilled in them.

A public viewing will be held Saturday, March 7th, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Macy & Son Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 135 NE Evans St, McMinnville, OR 97128. Funeral services with military honors will take place at Willamette National Cemetery on Monday, March 9th, 2026, at 1:30 p.m.

He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
