Duane Chilberg, 75, a lifetime resident of Kendrick, passed away Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2016, of a massive stroke at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Lewiston.
Born on Aug. 30, 1941, in Kendrick to Robert and Dorothy Candler Chilberg, Duane attended school at the Cedar Ridge schoolhouse and was a 1959 graduate of Kendrick High School. For several years, he worked for Clearwater-Potlatch Timber Protective Association, serving as a fire warden for the Mason Butte area, Boehls Cabin and at Elk River. He also spent time as a logger and was a lifelong rancher. He loved life on the farm on Cedar Ridge and wouldn't have it any other way.
His biggest joys were visiting with friends and telling stories. He loved history, especially of the Kendrick area, and was a wealth of information. He didn't know a stranger and loved them all.
He was a member of the Gold Hill Church and served on the board of directors. He was married to Danielle Granger, who passed away in 2011.
He is survived by brothers Alan of St. Maries and Skip (Janell) Chilberg of Deer Park, Wash.; sister Darlene (Ed) Reid of St. Maries; children Theresa (Bill) Parker, Ray Burdick, Yvonne Newberry and Marie Avalon; grandchildren Amanda and Devan Fritzsche, John and Jessica Leder, Anthony Burdick and Nicholas Wright; and two great-grandchildren. He also is survived by his companion, Cari Myers, and friend Becky VanDyke.
The family would like to thank Cari and Devan and our Cedar Ridge and Gold Hill family for all the help and support.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Jan. 7 at the Gold Hill Church, with dinner following at the community hall. Memorials may be made to the Gold Hill Church and Community Fund, care of Jeanette Cuddy, 2064 Elk Lane, Kendrick, ID 83537.
