ISLAND PARK, Idaho—Darrell William Alford, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend passed away suddenly on Monday, June 4, 2001, in Island Park, Idaho, his favorite place in the world. He was 52 years old.
Darrell was born May 29, 1949 to Dale William Alford and Shirley Erwin Hoover. He spent most of his youth in Ogden, Utah where he attended Ben Lomond High School. He served his country proudly during the Vietnam War and in the U.S. Army for 22 years.
Darrell loved his family. He was married previously to Brigitte Kursinger, with whom he had a daughter, and the late Ranae Malan, who gave him eight children. In 1988 he married Christine Peterson. Together they helped raise a large and diverse group of children. It wasn't always easy, but the trials helped deepen and strengthen their relationship. They were thrilled to be living in Island Park where they found great joy in being together in such beautiful surroundings.
After his retirement from military service, Darrell worked for many years as a correctional officer in Boise and St. Anthony and was recently a caretaker at Grey Wolf Retreat and at the Island Park Village Resort. He was a longtime member of the Fremont County Search and Rescue Team and the Island Park Volunteer Fire Department. His greatest passion in life was helping others. Many times he risked his own personal safety to rescue someone in distress. In so many ways he was an example of sacrifice and selflessness.
He is survived by his loving wife, Christine; daughters Melanie (Jim) Snider, Tiana (Travis) Daley, Kirsten Alford and Brianne Alford; sons Nathan Alford, Cody Alford, Travis Alford and Garrett Alford; stepsons Eric Gill and Porter Lunak; brothers Mark Alford and Larry (Page) Hoover; sisters Kathi (David) Thomas, Lesley (Joe) Tucker and Jean Lehto; his mother; a grandmother, Helen Church; and six grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a. m. on Saturday, June 9 at the St. Anthony LDS Third and Fourth Ward chapel (507 West 2nd North). Friends may call one hour prior. A viewing will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, June 8, at Bidwell Funeral Home, St. Anthony. Interment is in the Island Park Cemetery.
