Jamie Vincent Heitz was born in Eugene, Oregon, on September 25, 1974, and left this earth to join his Heavenly Father on August 20, 2014. He attended local schools and graduated from North Eugene High School in June, 1992. He joined the Les Schwab “family” and worked his way up to Assistant Manager in St. Helens, Oregon.
