A redwood tree was planted in the lawn of the Linn County Courthouse on Tuesday morning in honor of former commissioner John Lindsey, who died March 9 after a year-long battle with cancer. Tuesday would have been his 55th birthday.
Lindseyâs widow Linda Lindsey and the current Linn County commissioners gathered shovels and scooped dirt on the tree during the event.
âJohn had lots to say and he said it,â said Roger Nyquist, chairman of the Linn County Board of Commissioners, according to a Linn County news release.
Nyquist said Lindsey was adamant about individual liberty and freedom, providing value for taxpayers and never âkowtowingâ to the political whims of the moment, the news release states.
