John Doscher Obituary
John Douglas Doscher, 63, was born October 30, 1949 in Boise, Idaho and left his body on February 26, 2013. He will never leave our hearts. John is survived by his wife Laurie of thirty years, sister Katherine of Salem, sons Michael and Noah Power of Elmira, and son Christopher and grandson Colin of Miami, Florida; niece, Aleece and nephew, Michael Craig of Salem. John graduated from South Eugene High School and served in the United States Army, earning a Purple Heart. He became a skilled craftsman in metalworking after leaving the military, but his early career aspirations were in law enforcement and he fulfilled them later in his life as a founder and owner of Oregon Event Enterprises, a company he operated for two decades until his retirement. John took immense pride in his involvement with the Oregon Country Fair, City of Eugene, and the communities of Lane County. His commitment to service, integrity and honesty, a fierce sense of loyalty, and love will be missed.
There will be a Celebration of John's Life at the Oregon Country Fair site on March 24, 2013 at 1:00pm.

I remember when you were young running around your house on Onyx having water fights with Kitty and your dear Mother. I was always so envious of the fun you all had--and remember your Dad just shaking his head. I secretly had a crush on you, even though Kitty and I were best friends and you were a few years younger. You were so full of life and so cute. I am sorry you have been taken away so early in your life, I know you will be greatly missed by your family and dear friends. Peace to you John. God bless your family, Norma (Umphers) Barbisan

I'm an old high school mate of John's. Looking at these photos, I can still see the 17-year-old kid, full of life and mischief he was back then. That's how I'll remember him. My condolences to his family. Rock on, John!

Thou we haven't kept in touch these late years, we have some good memories of the "old days". Over the years whenever we ran into each other, it was always nice to visit.
Rest in Peace old friend,

RIP John Doscher a good friend and mentor. He founded Oregon Event Enterprises OEE and retired a couple years ago, sold the company to me. I loved hearing his life stories again and again and again. John's anecdotes from several decades of event security had so many lessons. His former employees are everywhere now from happy old hippies, to Judges, Lawyers and Police. I always strive to keep the company he started something we can both be proud of. John Doscher did a lot for event security in Oregon and a lot for our community. He was a hell of a guy and will be missed by all who knew him.

John was an old school gentleman, among many other fine attributes. He was particularly kind to my two granddaughters, and gladly shared time with his precious, playful dog with them. He will be severely missed by all who knew him in the security industry.
