Mark K. Irick
July 13, 1952 - July 7, 2007
While viewing the valley from his home in the Zena Hills, Mark Irick experienced the final Great Adventure and his breath became one with the wind on July 7.
Mark was born to Dallas and Patricia Irick in Kokomo, Ind.
He completed his undergraduate work at Ball State University and moved to Oregon where he obtained a law degree from Willamette University in 1979.
The name Shetterly and Irick has been a mainstay in legal matters in Polk County for many years, and Mark was the city attorney for Dallas for more than 25 years. Few will forget his intensity as an attorney.
His passion for anything and all things outdoors grew greater the longer he lived in Oregon. His love for fishing and hunting was only surpassed by his love to take people fishing and hunting, especially young people or people who had never experienced the outdoor world. There are many who can attest to the fantastic trips they enjoyed with Mark.
Whatever was in season that is what he was after, from spring salmon to fall elk and wintertime waterfowl.
However, his biggest passion was for sturgeon fishing in Tillamook Bay and the Columbia River Estuary, where his prowess was legendary and earned him the title Sturgeon King.
He enjoyed and loved his nieces and nephews and took them on many unforgettable and special trips. The spectrum of his friendships is immeasurable. Mark had a definite passion for all the finer things in life, like steamer clams and razor clams. He was often awestruck by the pure wonder of nature, from sunrises to sunsets, to gray skies and green trees.
Mark loved to tell a good story as well as laugh heartily at someone else's story. He was an avid Seahawks and Mariners fan and was once a fanatical Blazer fan.
He loved the sound of laughter, crackling campfires, a babbling stream, the wind and salt spray in his face - anything outdoors. Those of us who call him friend will remember his campfires by their roaring flames and not by their ashes.
He was preceded in death by his father, Dallas; sister, Judy; and brother, Mike.
Survivors include his wife, Sue (Harland); mother, Pat; a host of very special nieces, nephews and their families; Bleu the dog, and four cats.
Celebration of life will be at 1:30 p.m., Thursday, July 12, at Faith Evangelical Free Church in Dallas.
