Milford Blair Shepherd II, 55, of Boise, Idaho, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 13, 2012, of natural causes.
Blair was born on Sept. 9, 1957 in Boise, Idaho, the oldest child of Blair and Ina Shepherd. He was raised in McCall, Idaho and graduated from McCall High School.
Following in the family business, he went on and graduated from the San Francisco College of Mortuary Science in 1989. He was currently with Alden-Waggoner Funeral Chapel of Boise, Idaho. For the past 13 years Blair served many families during their time of grief and sorrow. He was dedicated to making a difference in people's lives.
Growing up in Idaho, Blair enjoyed the beauty of the Idaho mountains. He loved to snow ski, snowmobile, and bike ride. He chose to live in Boise for all the greatness of the outdoor activities and the wonderful community spirit.
Blair had a ready smile and a firm handshake. He loved to make people laugh. He always had a joke written out on a three by five card, that he would keep in his shirt pocket and pull out and tell when he felt the moment was right.
Blair is survived by his two children: Amber Leigh Shepherd, of Eagle, ID, and Blair Shepherd III, of Boise, ID; grandson, Zayd Shepherd; his brother, W. Blaine (Donna) Shepherd, of Hillsboro, OR; a niece, Jennifer (Steve) Masonheimer, of Eagle; and nephew, Matthew Shepherd, of Meridian, ID.
