Dezi "Dan" D. Megyesi

Dezi Daniel Megyesi was born on February 1, 1932 in Bremen, Saskatchewan, Canada to John and Mary Megyesi. He was raised on a farm, and grew up to fully understand the meaning of hard work. In 1957, he emigrated to the United States.

On September 5, 1964, Dezi exchanged wedding vows with Elaine B. in San Jose, California. The couple raised one daughter, Heather.

Dezi worked as a soap manufacturer with Mt. Hood Chemical Corporation from 1961 to 1997, when he retired and began his second career as a greeter at Walmart. During his time with Walmart, he made many friends and became well-known within the community.

Dezi enjoyed many things during his life, but he found exceptional joy in his involvement with his church. He was a lifelong member of the Woodstock Bible Church (affiliated with the Apostolic Christian Church.) He also loved his dogs, of which he had several over the years, most recently Whoopie, a loving and excitable dachshund, who he loved having close to him.

Dezi passed away on December 8 in Portland with loving family at his side. A funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Friday, December 18 in Lincoln Memorial Funeral Home. Visitation will be from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Thursday, December 17 in Lincoln Memorial.

Dezi is survived by his daughter, Heather, of Portland; siblings, John Megyesi (Kathleen), of Portland, Kal Megyesi (Lydia), of Coquitlam, B.C. and Alice Scoggins, of Portland; sisters-in-law, Marilyn Megyesi and Olga Megyesi and countless nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his loving wife, Elaine and siblings, Julius Megyesi, Sylvester Megyesi, Larry Megyesi and Betty Sabo.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Missions, c/o Woodstock Bible Church.
