2020 has been a rough year, and we’ve lost far too many people along the way.
Below The Oregonian/OregonLive offers up a list, far from exhaustive, of notable Oregonians and other Americans who died in the past 12 months, from the beloved to the notorious. (We also include a few dearly departed from foreign locales who made an impact in the United States).

Peter Beard published by TASCHEN.
Why it’s worth it: When the writer, photographer, and all-around bon vivant Peter Beard died this year at age 82, he left an indelible mark on the art world and everyone he met, from the wilds of Africa to the seedy bars of New York City. His life was marked by a ferocious pursuit of adventure, photographing endangered species and documenting his travels in beautifully intimate diaristic form, collaging photographs with drawings and notation.
A gadfly who was equally at home as a social fixture, Beard delved into fashion photography, and collaborated with the likes of Andy Warhol and Francis Bacon, while living up to his nickname as Walkabout, cutting a fine figure with his year-round tan, blue eyes, and revolving door of beautiful women at his side. This book captures the spirit and craft of a man who lived large in every sense.

Natural Selection’s Jack’s Camp in the Makgadikgadi, Botswana has been “reimagined” and rebuilt and will reopen with a new look in January 2021 to celebrate the camp’s 25th anniversary.
The “brand-new” Jack’s Camp pays homage to the property by maintaining its 1940s campaign style. The rebuild was overseen by owner and founder, Ralph Bousfield. The camp has nine safari tents that are more than double the size of the former tents, with an interior floor area of 1,400 square feet. The tents will retain the same traditional dark green exterior canvas and interior lining. Furnished with antiques that have been passed down through generations of the Bousfield family, the new larger guest tents will each have its own “miniature natural history museum,” comprising a cabinet with curiosities, ranging from stone tools to fossils. Seven twin tents have two queen size beds, while two double tents have extra-length king beds.
