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
thirteen 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, Idaho and Blair Shepherd III of Boise, Idaho; grandson, Zayd Shepherd; his brother, W.
Blaine Shepherd and wife Donna, of Hillsboro, Oregon; a niece, Jennifer Masonheimer
and her husband Steve, of Eagle, Idaho and nephew, Matthew Shepherd, of
Meridian, Idaho. His parents preceded
him in death.

Monday, November 19, 2012, at the Alden-Waggoner Funeral Chapel with Blair’s
friend Rev. Mike Black officiating.
Inurnment will be near his parent’s graves in the McCall Cemetery,
McCall, Idaho, a place where Blair found much peace and comfort.
