William M. Bass (Picture included)

William Marvin Bass III (born August 30, 1928) is an American forensic anthropologist, best known for his research on human ostelology and human decomposition. He has also assisted federal, local, and non-U.S. authorities in the identification of human remains. He taught at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, and though currently retired from teaching, still plays an active research role at the University of Tennessee Anthropological Research Facility, which he founded. The Facility is more popularly known as ?The Body Farm?, a name used by crime author Patricia Cornwell in a novel of the same name, which drew inspiration from Bass and his work. Bass has also described the body farm as "Death's Acre" ? the title of the book on his life and career, co-written with journalist Jon Jefferson. Jefferson and Bass, under the pen name "Jefferson Bass", have also written several fictional works: Carved In Bone, Flesh and Bone, The Devil's Bones, Bones of Betrayal, The Bone Thief, The Bone Yard, The Inquisitor's Key, Cut To the Bone, and The Breaking Point. Bass is the third generation in his family to have an educational building named after him. The Dr. William M. Bass III Forensic Anthropology Building dedication ceremony was September 27, 2011, near the Body Farm.

51625 Wilbur Fisk Bassett
1829 - 1901
The subject of this sketch, father of H.S. Bassett, was born in Washington, Connecticut, October 24, 1829; died at the home of his son at Wilbur, Washington, February 4th, 1901, in his 72nd year. He and two sisters were left orphans when he reached the age of 13 years. He received a good common school education and then learned the carpenter and joiners' trade, after which he served an apprenticeship of three years at ship carpentering. Being possessed of the natural American instinct for pioneering, he turned his face to the Pacific early in life, having traversed the continent twice by water, around Cape Horn and three times via Isthmus of Panama by boat and by rail. Much of his life in the west was devoted to mining and he ammassed a total, at different times, of $10,000 to $12,000, but it was all dissipated in a continued search for the hidden treasure. After several years of western life he determined to settle down to the quiet life of the older states, and in pursuance of that resolve, returned to Washington City, where an uncle, then in Congress, promised to obtain for him, a goverment situation. On December 31st, 1867, he married Adelia Lenora Lewis, bought a farm eight miles from Washington City in Fairfax county, Virginia and there he sojourned one year, but the appointment failing him, he once more became restless with the western fever, and came to Portland, Oregon, where he worked at his trade during the summer. He then returned to his Virginia home, sold his farm and brought his family to the Pacific coast. He soon drifted north to Spokane, which was then little more than an Indian village. There, in the employ of Downing and Scranton, he "framed" the timbers for the first sawmill built at the Falls. Early in the spring of 1871 he located a claim on land midway between Medical Lake and Cheney in what was then known as the "Four Lakes" country. To three of these lakes, Mr. Bassett gave the names of Granite, Silver and Clear Lakes.
In those pioneer days, all who lived within fifteen miles were near neighbors, and Walla Walla, over 100 miles away, was the base of supplies. There he lived until 1887, and during the time of his residence on the farm, the Northern Pacific Railway was built, passing only four and one-half miles away, and he saw settlements spring up as if by magic.
After the death of his wife in 1887, he sold his farm and taking his daughter, Bertha, then a little girl, he went to Grangeville, Idaho, and from that time on, the greater part of his life was spent in the mountains of Idaho, where he lived the life of a prospector, though his relatives believe that during his latter years he sojourned among the mountains more to be nearer the heart of nature than for any hope of uncovering Earth's riches. This love of nature's dwelling places is set forth in the following verses, selected from many which he penned during the days of his solitary life:

I love the woods, the shady wood,
Where nature in her moods,
Takes me within her sympathy,
And shares with me her goods.

The pheasant, grouse and mountain trout,
She spares me for my fare - -
The fragrance of the evergreen
With balmy mountain air.

When troubles vex and cares abound,
And when my soul needs rest,
I know the mountain air, for me,
Is ever yet the best.

With water pure, from mountain snows
To quench my parching thirst - -
With living green, the landscape o'er,
Upon my sigh doth burst.

With all these objects in my view,
Companions while awake,
My thoughts, they drift from worldly cares,
And other courses take.

And if a Paradise on Earth,
Dame Nature makes for man,
I know of none that will compare
With this in life's short span.

With every year, as years repeat,
These longings come again,
To go within the mountain range -
To leave the sunburnt plain.

Birds, in their wisdom, every spring,
Flee from the frost and snow,
To lands of the incoming spring;
Why should not mortals go?

Many are the interesting and thrilling tales he could relate, of his experiences in the wilds of Montana and Idaho. Early in the winter he began a series of articles in a reminiscent strain, which grew more interesting from week to week, but which were cut short by the old prospector's illness.
Mr. Bassett led an industrious, blameless life, and a host of old friends in western Spokane county will be filled with sorrow by news of his death. Mother Earth has been his closest friend and she, at last, affords him his first and only perfect rest.
Surviving him are one son and two daughters, Herman S. Bassett and Bertha R. Bassett, Wilbur, Washington; and Mrs. James O. Taylor (Jennie Josephine), Tacoma, Washington.

NASCAR artist Sam Bass dies at 57
NBC - 36 WCNC (Charlotte, NC) - Saturday, February 16, 2019
The family of legendary NASCAR artist Sam Bass announced that he died Saturday. He was 57.

"It is with a sad heart that our family shares the news of our loss with the NASCAR community. Sam Bass, a loving husband, father and inspiration to us all, passed away earlier today," Denise Bass said in a statement. "Thank you for your prayers during this very difficult time."

Bass battled Type 1 Diabetes for several years and was in dire need of a kidney transplant before his death.

Last summer, the New York-based Flood Sisters Kidney Foundation heard Bass' story and partnered with NASCAR team JR Motorsports, owned by former driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., to create a promotional video to help find a donor.

Bass' artwork was renowned by racing fans worldwide, as he helped create some of NASCAR's most iconic paint schemes. He also designed countless works of art for drivers, team owners and race tracks throughout his career, which led him to become the first ever officially licensed NASCAR artist.

Brad is survived by his wife Tamra Ann, children, Cassidy Marie, Abigail Anne, Logan Bradley (Jaide Makelle Porter), brothers Wayne Bredehoft (Tina), Tom Bassett (Kelly) and sisters Rhonda Cole and Leslie Bassett.
Born in Montpelier, Idaho, to Patricia Marie Patterson Bassett and Loran Dee Bassett, Brad was the youngest of seven children. A preemie at birth, he was so tiny that his father lovingly joked he looked like ?mud on a stick,? small enough to fit in the palm of Dee?s hand. In a twist that would become part of his story, that tiny baby grew into a giant of a man.
Brad cherished his childhood in Grace, Idaho, where days were spent riding bikes along quiet country roads and playing among the old cars his mechanic father kept around the family shop ? memories that helped shape the man he would become.
Brad attended both elementary school and high school in Grace, Idaho, where he formed friendships that would shape his life. Many of his closest bonds began in his earliest school years and grew stronger with time. His friendship with Jacob Gepford and John Hegstrom endured through every season of life, remaining as close and meaningful as brotherhood to this day.
During his high school years, Brad was involved in just about everything. He wrestled, played football and basketball, and played the saxophone in the marching band ? embracing each activity with the same energy and enthusiasm he brought to all parts of his life.
In his junior year, Brad decided to try out for the school musical. To everyone?s amazement, he revealed an angelic bass singing voice he had kept hidden until then, even from his parents. He was cast in the leading male role, and that moment opened the door to a deep love of music and performance.
While still in high school, Brad went on to sing and dance at the Pink Garter Theatre in Jackson Hole, Wyoming ? an experience he cherished dearly. His parents were immensely proud of his musical talent and encouraged him to nurture it. Brad was often invited to sing at various events and would later become part of several choirs in church and at Idaho State University.
At the age of eighteen, with the loving guidance of dear friends, Brad was introduced to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was soon baptized into the faith, and in 1994 he was called to serve a mission in Concepcin, Chile. It was there that he met his wife, Tamra Ann Kesner Bassett, who was also serving in the same mission.
Brad dearly loved the people of Chile and treasured his time serving among them. He often shared funny and heartwarming stories from those years, memories filled with joy, growth, and connection. His natural charisma shone brightly, and the people were drawn to his warm smile, genuine kindness, and sincere friendship ? qualities that defined Brad throughout his life.
After returning home in 1996, Brad and Tamra ? his wife of nearly thirty years ? were sealed in the Portland, Oregon Temple on November 29, 1996. Brad was a devoted, kind, and loving husband who cherished his family and showed his love for them consistently throughout his life.
In May 1998, Brad and Tamra welcomed their first daughter, Cassidy. Abigail followed in April 2000, and finally, Logan was born in February 2002. It was as if Brad was born to be a father. The light and joy in his eyes at the birth of each child were unmatched. When Jaide Makelle Porter married Logan, in 2023, and joined our family he couldn?t have been more thrilled.
Being there for his family was always a priority for Brad. He rarely missed a basketball game, track meet, softball game, swim meet, or lacrosse match, cheering them on with pride at every opportunity. Brad delighted in laughing with his kids, playing games, and taking them to the movies. He teased them endlessly and kept the family smiling with a constant stream of humorous memes in the family group chat. He also loved singing Karaoke with his family and would often get the whole family singing his favorite songs. His playful spirit and limitless love made every moment with him truly unforgettable.
Brad treasured every moment with his family, and family vacations held a special place in his heart. He was already planning next summer?s trip, excited to share it with the newest light of his life?his angelic granddaughter, Oakley Dean Bassett, born just a month ago. More than anything, Brad wanted Oakley to call him ?Big Papa.? He even had a hat with a leather patch that joyfully labeled him as ?Papa.? That wasn?t quite right so, with a Sharpie, he wrote in bold letters ?BIG? above papa and proudly wore it everywhere.
The bond between Brad and Oakley was truly extraordinary, a connection that will endure even beyond his passing. The first time he laid eyes on her, tears welled up, and his heart brimmed with love?it was a moment of pure, unforgettable beauty.
Brad?s life was a testament to love, laughter, and unwavering devotion to family and friends. From his early days in Grace, Idaho, to his adventures in Chile, from the music that filled his soul to the countless memories he created with those he cherished, Brad lived fully and wholeheartedly. He was a devoted husband, a proud and playful father, a doting Big Papa, and a friend whose kindness, humor, and charisma left an indelible mark on everyone he met. Though his passing leaves a void that cannot be filled, the joy, warmth, and love he shared will live on in the hearts of all who knew him?reminding us that a life lived with generosity of spirit and depth of heart leaves a legacy that lasts eternally.
Viewings for Brad will be held on Friday, January 23rd, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., and again on Saturday, January 24th, from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. at the Chapel Rd. LDS Church, 300 Chapel Rd., Pocatello, Idaho 83201.
After the viewing, Brad?s Celebration of Life will begin at 11:00 a.m.in the Chapel Rd. LDS Church on Saturday, followed immediately by his burial in Central Cemetery, near Grace, Idaho at 920 ID-34, Grace, ID 83241.
