John Payne Lindsey, 79, of Roseburg, Oregon, was unexpectedly called home to heaven on Dec. 12, 2025, surrounded by his family. John was born March 19, 1946, in El Centro, California, to Claude and Loris (Payne) Lindsey. 

John was raised in the Imperial Valley of California, and graduated from Holtville Union High School in Holtville, California, before moving on to trade school to become a licensed hairdresser. John married his late wife, Linda (Holmes) Lindsey, on Feb. 2, 1969, in Winterhaven, Arizona, after just six short weeks of knowing each other. They were married for just shy of 40 years before her passing. John and Linda made their home in Santa Maria, California, until moving to Oregon, in 1975, eventually settling in the Roseburg area where they raised their three daughters Jennifer, Christina and Karen. 

John worked as a hairdresser for 49 years, sharing his talent and humor with countless clients who became friends over the years; many of whom received their very first haircut from him. John enjoyed bible study, baking, gardening, long drives, creating bonsai, carving, listening to music and a good Hallmark movie.

He was preceded in death by his wife Linda (Holmes) Lindsey; granddaughter Sydney Johannis; and his parents Claude and Loris (Payne) Lindsey. He is survived by his daughters Jennifer Lindsey, Christina Lindsey-Freed (Bryan), and Karen Johannis (Steven); granddaughter Eloise Johannis; brother Christopher Lindsey; sister Patricia Reed (David); and many nieces, nephews and in-laws close to his heart.

John’s love, laughter, and twinkle in his eye will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

A memorial service is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on March 19, 2026, at the Winston Community Center in Winston, Oregon, and all are welcome to join in remembering John. Memorial contributions may be made to the Michael J. Fox Foundation or a charity of your choice.

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. – A Roseburg man is in custody tonight charged with the murder of his 11-month-old son.

On Sunday, March 15, 2026, shortly before 10:00 a.m., a 9-1-1 call was placed by 27-year-old Jared Scott Jeremy Stoller of Roseburg. Stoller reported to dispatchers that his 11-month-old son, Jackson James Stoller, was missing from his hotel room at the Relax Inn in Sutherlin, Oregon. Sutherlin Police Officers responded to the call and determined there to be suspicious circumstances involved. The Douglas County Major Crimes Team was activated to assist in the investigation.

Stoller was interviewed by detectives from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and eventually confessed that he had murdered Jackson days earlier at a location in Roseburg. Stoller told detectives that he had disposed of the child’s body in the South Umpqua River.

Divers from the Sheriff’s Office Dive Team, assisted by boats from the Oregon State Police and Douglas County, located Jackson's body just before 6:00 p.m. in the river near the 3500-block of Old Melrose Road. His body was turned over to the care of the Douglas County Medical Examiner’s Office. An autopsy is expected to take place in the coming days.

Detectives arrested Stoller and lodged him in the Douglas County Jail on the following charges:





Murder in the First Degree



Abuse of a Corpse in the First Degree

K9 Nike to Retire From Winston Police Department

ROSEBURG, Ore. — The city of Roseburg officially opened its rebuilt tennis and pickleball facility with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking the completion of a $2.5 million project that replaced aging courts dating to the 1950s and 1960s.

The new complex, located in Stewart Park, features eight tennis courts and ten pickleball courts. It replaces eleven courts originally built in 1959 and 1970 that had deteriorated over more than five decades of use. The facility is the only public outdoor court complex in the Roseburg area.

Funding came from three sources: a $750,000 grant from Oregon State Parks, roughly $500,000 from the city, and $1.25 million raised by the community through the Umpqua Valley Tennis Center, a local nonprofit that has operated for more than 50 years.

Eric Ball, president of the UVTC, said the project traces back to a 2018 master plan developed after the group assessed the poor condition of the existing courts. That plan sat dormant for five years until a member identified the state parks grant opportunity in 2023. The organization applied in April of that year and received the award that November. Construction went out to bid in March 2025, and JRT Construction, based in Oakland, Oregon, began work the following June. The project took approximately nine months to complete.

Ball credited a long list of donors for pushing the community fundraising past the million-dollar mark. Among the larger contributors were the John and Gene Loosely Foundation, the Ford Family Foundation, Umpqua Health Alliance, Ranco Systems, Lone Rock Timber, North River Boats, and several individual donors. Ball also noted that local pickleball tournaments organized by community members generated significant revenue for the project.

The upgrades extend beyond the playing surfaces. The complex now includes LED lighting for evening play, security cameras, a coded gate-lock entry system, ADA-accessible design, and concrete spectator seating positioned between the tennis and pickleball sections.

Roseburg Mayor Larry Rich presided over the ceremony and emphasized the role of local contractors and community investment in bringing the project to completion.

City Manager Nikki Messenger said the project offers a model for future park improvements in Roseburg. She noted that the city used tourism-related funds for its portion of the financing, a decision she described as a first for a project of this scale. The reasoning, she said, was that the UVTC's track record of hosting tournaments would generate hotel stays, restaurant visits, and retail spending sufficient to justify the investment.

Messenger also said the city is developing a new master plan for Stewart Park and considering additional improvements elsewhere in its park system. She encouraged residents to participate in that planning process.

Ball framed the project in generational terms, noting that children who grew up playing on the original courts, himself included, now have a facility built for the next several decades of youth athletics. Local youth tennis players turned out in force for the ribbon cutting, and high school teams have already begun practicing on the new courts this week.

The courts are open to the public. For inquiries and access information, residents can contact the Umpqua Valley Tennis Center at (541) 673-3429 or visit www.umpquavalleytennis.com. A reservation system for the outdoor courts is expected to be announced in the coming weeks, and a separate grand opening celebration is planned for later this year. Additional details will be posted as they become available.

The Umpqua Valley Tennis Center is located at 1201 NW Stewart Parkway, Roseburg, OR 97471. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (closed 12:30 to 2 p.m.), and Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
