Story

My Mother's tribute to her brother-in-law Fred Sargent, upon his death....

In 1939 I had met Fred Sargent first and then met Dick Sargent just before they left to bike around Europe. On the boat going over Dick met Janet first as she was heading for a summer on the Experiment. And then Fred met her. In 1941 Dick and I married in March, Fred and Janet in August, and our lives and families have been intertwined ever since. Dear Fred was planning to be a doctor and was so loving and caring about people that I felt he had chosen well. His sense of humor and complete lack of bigotry or snobbery are qualities I shall never forget. He was a wonderful brother-in-law, and true friend. I loved him very much.

Bruce Kingsbury Sargent August 10, 1949 - October 10, 2020

Written by Linda Buterian

Bruce Kingsbury Sargent died on October 10, 2020, after a lengthy fight with cancer. He passed away at home surrounded by his family. He was 71 years old.

Bruce was born on August 10, 1949, in Champaign-Urbana Illinois, and grew up in St. Louis Missouri. Once he went west to Prescott College in Arizona, where he obtained a degree with honors in design and construction, he never went back. He fell in love with the West, and Leslie Shelton, who he met at Prescott College. They married on April 9th, 1976 and settled in the mountains of southern Oregon, where they raised their three children, Russell, Lauren, and Quinn and have lived for the past 42 years.

Bruce was a master craftsman, a visionary, and a teacher to so many. As a mentor, Bruce was an incredible resource, able to draw on a bottomless well of information and experience. He offered it with the reassuring touch that with careful consideration and proper planning almost anything was possible. If he could envision it then he held the confidence to dive in and give it a try, knowing that reassessing and reconsidering along the way was all part of the process to getting where you wanted to go. That confidence extended to his apprentices whose mistakes were also opportunities to learn and make corrections, always improving knowledge and skill. The inspiration was contagious and the completed projects satisfying, keeping a steady supply of mentees over the years. Bruce designed and built his first house when he was 18 years old, and went on to build 20 homes and complete 19 major remodels. He loved challenges, and nothing was insurmountable to him. His gentle spirit and quiet presence could work circles around many.

His life’s work was the restoration of Buckhorn Mineral Springs retreat center. In Bruce’s words: “In 1988 my wife, Leslie and I purchased a very dilapidated and rundown Buckhorn Springs. Buckhorn has given me decades of the kind of work I thrive on; with restoration, managing forests, milling our own lumber, and creating local sustainable methods of construction. Leslie has been able to develop her cuisine skills as well as having her hands involved in all aspects of Buckhorn. Most importantly, with our children having grown up at Buckhorn they have all acquired a ‘sense of place’. Bruce loved his family. He bought Buckhorn so that he could continue with his work ethic, but also see his kids every day. As his children wrote: “He encouraged us to work with him, and to learn from him. He encouraged us to go out into the world and gain experience to bring something back to Buckhorn, yet he was always open to us following what we were interested in.”

Bruce was a lover of wilderness. As a fellow activist wrote: "Bruce was more than passionate about conservation--conservation and the health of the lands was a core practice that Bruce held and practiced". Bruce helped lead hikes for the public into the Soda Mountain Wilderness years before Congress established the Wilderness and he was actively supportive in various other ways over the years. Bruce was a board member of the Soda Mountain Wilderness Council (SMWC) for many years, which held annual dinner meetings in Buckhorn’s lodge. After the Cascade-Siskiyou Monument was established on June 9, 2000, Buckhorn’s big, tree-shaded lawn above Emigrant Creek became the perfect venue for annual SMWC-hosted “Monument Birthday Party” BBQs every June for wildland advocates for many years.

Bruce loved to travel and sought other cultures with inquisitiveness: from Bjorliden to Lago Caro Chile, and finally visiting the Sugi trees of Yakashima in Japan, one of his lifelong dreams, with his wife, Leslie. He also traveled with each of his children: Russell, backpacking in New Zealand and Chile; Lauren, rafting down the Grand Canyon, backpacking in Eagle Cap Wilderness; and Quinn, backpacking in the Lost Coast and hiking through Japan. This tradition is something Lauren hopes to continue with her daughter, Annabelle. Bruce was all about living and he showed his family how to keep on with obstacles that eventually became insurmountable. His greatest joy in his last seven months was spending time with his long awaited and beloved granddaughter, Annabelle.

He wanted to die softly, and he did, surrounded by his family. His wish was to be buried on a piece of Sargent land adjacent to Buckhorn Springs. The Sargents are thankful to have a place to go back to, to be with Bruce and the land. Bruce is survived by his wife Leslie, three children and spouses and partners and granddaughter, Russell and Paulina, Lauren and Justin and Annabelle, and Quinn and Vicki.

The Way It Is by William Stafford, shared by Kim Shelton (Leslie’s sister)

There’s a thread you follow. It goes among
things that change. But it doesn’t change.
People wonder about what you are pursuing.
You have to explain about the thread.
But it is hard for others to see.
While you hold it you can’t get lost.
Tragedies happen; people get hurt
or die; and you suffer and get old.
Nothing you do can stop time’s unfolding.
You don’t ever let go of the thread.7

Kathleen Sargent 1954 - 2015

Kate left us much too soon after a brief battle with cancer. Born August 29th in Webster Groves, MO to Dr. Fred and Janet Wyer Sargent, she was the youngest of 5 siblings. Kate attended the University of New Mexico intending to major in anthropology but graduated as a Registered Nurse. Kate worked various nursing jobs including the Intensive Care Nursery at Mt. Zion Hospital and recently at the endoscopy unit at UCSF. She was well regarded by her colleagues and touched the lives of many around the Bay Area, holding her patients' hands through many of their scariest moments. Kate was a strong and inventive woman who loved a challenge; if she could, and in some cases even if she couldn't, she would do it herself. A real handywoman, she never hesitated to undertake household tasks such as plumbing repair, painting her house, or minor car repair. She was a wonderful cook, and a talented seamstress and knitter. A lifelong sports fan, she loved the Giants, the 49ers, and the Warriors. She had a passion for golf and played weekly with her ladies' golf group. She was a long-time volunteer: active throughout her daughter's education and on the board of Amigos de las Americas. By far the most cherished thing in her life was her daughter, Janet Michelle Scott. She also leaves her sister Leslie of Boston, MA, brothers Bruce and Tim of Ashland OR, many cousins, nieces and nephews, and many dear friends. Her sister Sandy predeceased her, as did her parents. A celebration of her life will be held March 28 at 2:00 pm at the Fairfax Women's Club, 46 Park Rd., Fairfax. Donations in her honor may be sent to Amigos, Marin Chapter, PO Box 766, Larkspur, CA, 94977.
