Richard M. McKinley, 70, of Meridian, Idaho passed away
Monday, September 9 in a local hospital after sustaining a head injury
resulting from a fall at his home.
Dick
was born and raised in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, by his parents Paul A. and Betty J.
(Woltersdorf) McKinley. As a teenager, he received his Eagle Scout rank from
Troop 16 at Salem Church. Dick graduated from Washington High School in 1961
and earned a B. S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Iowa in
1966. He married the love of his life, Marilyn Starkweather, at Salem United
Methodist Church on June 26, 1965, where they were both members from their
early childhood.
Dick
became a loving father to three beautiful daughters. He was employed by Chevron
for 35 years which took him to many places. He and his family resided in
Southern California, Alaska, Northern California, Canada and he traveled
internationally. Retirement found him living on the river in Chattanooga, TN,
where he made many of his best memories. Dick's interests included boating,
fishing, woodworking and driving trips across the country with his wife. Dick
and Marilyn moved to Idaho in early 2010 to be close to family. He was a
patient, kind and faithful man which stemed from his love for Christ.
Dick
is survived by his beloved wife, Marilyn, of 48 years; daughter Ann (Drew)
Bianco; daughter Heather (Ben) Rice; mother Betty McKinley; sister Linda (Greg)
Smith; son-in-law Tim Malo and 11 wonderful grandchildren. He is preceded in
