Silas Woodrow Biggs, 26, passed away Saturday, October 28th. Silas was born in Portland, OR on July 7, 1997 to Emily Laughlin and Andrew Biggs, and left an indelible mark on those who loved him. From a young age, Silas was kind, thoughtful, and generous and had a remarkable way of seeing subtle beauties in the world. He had the best laugh and a grin that was easy to get swept up in. He loved street art and cooking, especially for others, and he was a wonderful listener. In 2015, he graduated with a mechanical engineering focus from Benson Polytechnic High School, where he ran cross country and helped his team compete at the state championships. Silas was a talented and hard worker–someone you could turn to for help. He gained culinary experience through working in all sorts of kitchens, even some of Portland’s most creative dining experiences, and enjoyed volunteering at Autism Rocks camp in the kitchen each summer. Silas had an adventurous soul and loved to go on walks and explore nearby neighborhoods and trails. He was in his first year of a horticulture program on the east coast. Silas is survived by his mother Emily, sister Eddy, father Andrew Biggs. A service honoring Silas’s life will be held on Sunday Nov 12th at 3PM at Tabor Space in Portland, OR.
