Albert “Al” Elido DeBortoli passed away on January 1, 2022, due to complications from heart surgery.
On June 2, 1944, he was born to Elido Tony DeBortoli and Edna Louise Freeman in Greenville, California. He graduated from Chiloquin High School in Chiloquin, Oregon, and attended Oregon Technical Institute. He spent 26 years in the Navy and was very proud of his service and had a significant commitment to his country. After retiring from the Navy, he drove a charter bus for many years with which he enjoyed all of the adventures. Al then drove a truck over the road for Terry Clark Trucking, traveling the west coast. He then settled in with a local company driving for United Materials for many years, where he enjoyed the work and friendships he made over the years. Al enjoyed playing golf, watching western movies, playing piano and the accordion, rodeos, football, bowling with his friends, and he was an avid San Francisco 49er fan. He loved the open road and traveled with Sue to visit California, Washington State, and Minnesota. He enjoyed watching his grandchildren play sports in CA and traveled to WA to watch his granddaughter ride her horses. He was preceded in death by his parents, Elido Tony Debortoli and Edna Louise Freeman; and a sister, Diana Eck. Al is survived by his wife, Sue; a brother, Ray; daughter, Melissa; son, Michael (Jodi); daughter, Amanda (Jesse) Goff; and grandchildren, Hailey, Hannah, Kaelynn, Whitney, and Hope. Al will forever be remembered for his contagious laugh, love for music, and love for his country. A service will be held at a later date.
