Monte Allen Chase

June 6, 1953 - August 6, 2017

June 6, 1953 — Aug. 6, 2017 Monte Allen Chase, 64, of Alsea passed away from natural causes at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis with his family members at his side. He was born June 6, 1953 in Eureka, California. Monte grew up in Scio. In 1972 he graduated from Scio High School and married Patty Higgins of Stayton. Together, they were blessed with a daughter, Crystal Lynn. He hired on at Duraflake Particle Board Plant in Albany and worked there for 28 years. He moved on to live and work on a ranch in Central Oregon and in Arizona. He endured several years with a painful physical disability that finally forced him to retirement. Most of his childhood and all of his adulthood, Monte worked hard and played hard. He enjoyed the outdoors along with hunting and fishing and Muscle Cars- a testament from some of the cars he had built and owned. But most of all, he loved his dogs and friends he had throughout his life. His infectious smile and laughter will be missed by all that knew him. He leaves behind his sweet Goldendoodle, Nugget. Monte is survived by his daughter, Crystal Lynn Nelson; siblings, Sharon May of Salmon, Idaho, Becky Woods (Chuck) of Pendleton, Glen Chase (Teri) of Redmond, Dan Chase (Lori) of Sisters, and his loving cousin, Ginni Soued (Mark) of Westminster, California.
