Lyle "Lee" E. Pairan, Jr. 49 of Independence died unexpectedly June 17, 2008 at Salem Hospital. Lyle was born December 13, 1958 in Castro Valley, CA to Lyle and Betty Leffel Pairan. He was the youngest of five children. The family moved to Monmouth, OR in the late 1960's. At an early age he met his wife Beathe "Nene" Langerud and started a family of his own. Lyle spent 27 years as a loving and devoted husband and father to his wife and family. He loved football, computer games and washing his car. He was a hard working man and worked for everything he had, and to Lyle, he had everything. This small world we live in will surely not be the same without him. Lyle will, however live on in the hearts and minds of his family and friends. Survivors include his wife, Beathe "Nene" of Independence; daughter, Amanda of Salem; sons, Joshua of Jefferson and Jeremy of Independence and his father, Lyle Pairan, Sr. of Independence. Lyle will be buried near his mother in a private service at Fircrest Cemetery in Monmouth, OR under the direction of Farnstrom Mortuary. Contributions to your local animal shelter.
