Heaven gained the most loving angel on Monday, September 22, 2025.

Papa was a true cowboy at heart—strong, stubborn, funny, and full of stories from the old days. He taught us to work hard, laugh often, and love our family fiercely.

He was happiest outdoors—riding horses in the mountains, fishing, or telling stories around the campfire. Papa never met a stranger; everyone he met was loved immediately. He always had a huge hug waiting, and if he really liked you, you might even get one of his surprise kisses.

As a family, we want to give him the funeral and memorial he deserves—simple, meaningful, and filled with the same love he gave us all. Unfortunately, funeral costs are more than we can cover on our own. We are asking for help to raise $15,000 to cover the expenses for his funeral service, a burial plot (with a spot beside him for Grandma), and a memorial gathering.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference. If you can’t give financially, we would be so grateful if you could share this page and keep our family in your prayers.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us honor Papa’s life and legacy. A viewing will be held at Potter's Funeral Chapel in Emmett, Idaho on Thursday, October 2, 2025, from 6-8pm and funeral services will be held on Friday, October 3, 2025 at 11am.
