Calvin Dennis Biddix

Calvin Dennis Biddix, age 67 of Kelso, Washington, went home to be with his Savior Saturday, February 13th, 2021.  A native of Yancey County, he was the son of the late Dayton and Evelyn Gouge Biddix. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Betty Lou Biddix Miller.

Calvin grew up the second oldest of ten children in the South Toe Community. He and his young family moved to the Pacific Northwest in the late 1970’s, where he worked for several logging and construction companies over the years.  He enjoyed spending time in the woods camping, hunting and fishing with his sons.  One could always find Calvin sitting around a campfire telling a good story.  He was a man of integrity, a faithful husband and a man of deep faith who had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Calvin loved and served God and often played guitar and sang in his church.

Calvin is survived by his wife: Nancy Schroeder Biddix of the Rose Valley Community in Kelso, Washington; sons: Heath Biddix of Rainer, Oregon, Luin Biddix and wife Meghan of Woodland, Washington; step-sons, Marty Hamm and wife Shellie, and Steven Hamm and wife Gina, all of Rose Valley, Washington; four brothers: Steve Biddix and wife Linda, Tommy Biddix and wife Marie, Lewis Biddix and wife Deborah, all of Burnsville, Wade Biddix and wife Joanne of Goodyear, AZ; four sisters: Rita Hudgins and husband Joe of Burnsville, Pamela Saenz and husband Diego of Atlanta, GA, Norma Melton and husband Kevin of Spruce Pine, and Karen Wood and husband David of Marion; 11 grandchildren, 2 great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews as well as a large extended family. 

Graveside Services and Burial will be held Thursday, February 25th at 2 p.m. in the Westall Cemetery on South Toe. Reverend Charles Carroll will officiate. It is an honor for Calvin’s sons, Heath and Luin, and his four brothers, Steve, Wade, Tommy and Lewis, to serve as pallbearers.
