Notes for John “Johnny” Gould
John (Johnny) Everett Gould Jr. passed away March 12, 2013, due to complications from a burn accident.
Johnny was born Dec. 16, 1969, in Orofino to John (Jack) Gould Sr. and Mary Joyce Gould. Johnny grew up in Orofino until 1984, when he moved to Klawock, Alaska. He graduated from Klawock High School in 1988. Johnny attended college in Anchorage, Alaska, for a very short time and realized that wasn't where he wanted to be. He knew he was meant to be a logger - it was in his blood. He spent all the time he could with Dad in a truck from the time he was out of diapers. So he returned to work with his Dad. He worked road construction for a short time and then started driving log trucks for his Dad, later taking over the business. The last few years, he was known as "Lowboy John" and drove trucks for Steve Henderson Logging, and no one could do it better than Johnny G. It made Johnny very proud to be hauling with his son, who has also been driving a lowboy for the same company for the past two years.
Johnny married Robin Brink in 1992 while living in Alaska, and they later divorced, but they share a son, John (Bub) Everett Gould III, who was Johnny's world and best friend. He taught Bubba to follow in his footsteps with pride. Johnny also leaves behind his daughter, Ashlie Gould of Lewiston, who lit up his face every time he talked about her; she was his pride and joy. He had two stepchildren who also called him Dad: Kaleigh and David Ryno of Alaska - he was proud of the adults they became.
Johnny married Doris Lougee on Sept. 21, 2011, of whom he said he wanted to protect her and make her feel safe. Their life together was cut short way too soon.
Johnny loved spending time with his family and friends and fishing at his favorite camping spot on Little Beaver Creek near Pierce. There was never a time that he didn't have a new joke or a story to tell. All who knew Johnny knew that he loved to cook, and whatever he cooked, you would be told every ingredient he used and how it came out to perfection. Who would have thought that a man with the rough hands of a logger would be a cook?
Johnny is survived by his wife, Doris Gould; children John and Ashlie Gould; his mother, Joyce Gould; his sister, Renee Hedrick (Keith); his brothers, Bob Gould (Linda), Randy Gould (Teresia), Ron Gould and Rick Scott (Kathi); stepchildren, Kaliegh Ryno, David Ryno, Jenn, Jessie, Jade and Austin Jasper; as well as many nieces and nephews whom he adored and an unbelievable amount of friends.
Johnny was preceded in death by his father, Jack Gould; and grandparents, Leal and Bethel Gould and Clarence and Ella Rugg.
A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday at The Lodge at the River's Edge in Orofino, followed by burial at the Orofino Cemetery, followed by a reception celebrating John's life at The Lodge.
Family asks that donations be made at the Lewis-Clark Credit Union to help with expenses, rather than flowers.
Pine Hills Funeral Chapel and Crematory is in care of arrangements.

Well, I live in Orofino ID. Paula Snyder Lougee was my mother. My grandfather was Fredrick Dow Snyder the son of Amos and Bessie Snyder. The homestead in Harmon WV was so awesome to see. Only one child remains on my mothers side. My aunt has some old photos but well I need to be nice. When I found your sight online I was so excited. I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers. Many Snyder relatives in Orofino, Kamiah, Pierce and Weippe Idaho. I am just putting things together for kids and my sisters and brothers. We are all happy to be what they call us here in Idaho the Wild West Virginian Snyder's. Any links or photos of grand parents, brothers or just anything would be great.

Doris

Hey cousin Doris,

What photos might you be interested in? I have a lot of them online already. I haven’t heard from many [if any] descendents of Lorenzo Dow!! Tell me something about yourself ... Where you live, what you do, etc.
