Randy Wesley Durham, BHS 1968


Randy Wesley Durham, 61, died at his home with loved ones by his side, on July 11, 2010. Randy was born March 23, 1949, in Glendale, Calif., and graduated in 1968 from Burbank High School, Calif.

He served in the U.S. Army from 1973 to 1976. While stationed in Berlin, Germany, Randy met and fell in love with Carla Royer, whom he married in 1977. The couple and Randy's daughter, Terry, lived near Carla's hometown of Kuna, Idaho, until moving in 1979 to Portland, Ore., where Randy worked for Crown Zellerbach/Port Townsend bag plant for 18 years.

During that time they had two sons, Ryan and Scott. Randy enjoyed coaching and watching his kids play sports. In 1997, the family returned to Idaho to live near family and friends. Idaho was the ideal home for Randy's love for camping with Carla's large family and fishing beautiful streams. A recent highlight for Randy was the addition of his two grandchildren.

Randy is survived by his wife of 33 years, Carla Durham, Boise, ID; daughter Terry Olweiler, Breckenridge, CO.; son Ryan Durham, Boise, ID; and son Scott Durham, Garden Grove, CA; and his beloved dog Buddy.

A funeral service will be held on Friday, July 16, at 11:00 a.m., at Alden-Waggoner Funeral Chapel, Boise. Viewing will be held one hour prior to the service. A committal service will be held at 1 p.m., at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery.
