| Zane Leroy Culbertson, the eldest of seven children, was born in Henderson, Nevada to Jerry Eugene Berger and Claire "Rosanne" Graves and was adopted by Kenneth Ray Culbertson. Zane passed unexpectedly Wednesday, August 26th, in a tragic logging accident. He will be sorely missed by all who loved him.
He grew up in Sweet Home, and then lived in Salem for most of his life. Zane lived in Bend over the past two years. Zane was an auto technician employed by B&S Logging in Prineville where he acquired a passion again for logging, having been a log truck driver other times during his life. |

Zane had a passion and zeal for life, especially for cars and hot rods. Those closest to him would say Zane worked hard and played hard. He enjoyed many outdoor activities, such as hiking, hunting, and snow and water skiing. He also enjoyed country dancing and barbeques with family and friends.
Zane is survived by his loving wife of two years, RoxAnn (Roxy); his mother, Rosanne; his son, Patrick, and daughter, Courtney Michelle; his stepsons, John, Tim, and Brian; his brothers, Aaron Culbertson, Phillip Culbertson, Kevin Burger, Russell Burger, and Brian Burger; his sisters, Leah Kramer and Lisa Payne; and his beautiful grandchildren, Austin and Reese.
Zane was proceeded in death by “man’s best friend” and loyal companion of 10 years, Bandit.
Zane loved the Lord, his family and his friends.
A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Tuesday, September 1, 2009 at the River Center in Lebanon, Oregon.
