William ‘Bill’ Jude Waller, 52

William “Bill” Jude Waller, 52, of Post Falls, Idaho, passed away at his home with his family by his side on Nov. 5, 2018. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 24, 2018, at St. George’s Church in Post Falls. English Funeral Chapel, Post Falls has been entrusted with the arrangements.

Bill was born on April 23, 1966, in Hayward, Calif. He was raised in central Illinois until he and his family moved to Dayton, Idaho, in 1977 before settling in Post Falls in 1979. Bill graduated from Post Falls High School with the class of 1984.

After graduating high school, Bill joined the U.S. Air Force and had an active military career from 1985 to 1992.

Upon getting out of the military, Bill returned to Post Falls to enjoy many hobbies, such as hunting and camping and spending time with friends and family. Cooking was a passion of his and he was to never be surpassed in the kitchen. He was creative when it came to taste and this shined through in his wines, sausages and jerky. Among his favorite things though, were his children and grandchildren. He would shine with pride when talking about any one of them.

Bill is preceded in death by his father and mother, Larry M. Waller and Mary T. Waller (Remesch); brother-in-law, Kelly F. Porter; nephew, Stephen K. Porter; honorary uncle, John D. Lillis; father-in-law, Robert William (“Billy Bob”) Boothman; grandson, Gregory; many aunts; uncles and extended family members.

He is survived by his wife, Laurie A. Boothman-Waller; daughters, Christina J. Spears (Waller) and Corey Ann (Doering) and her husband, Kelby Reichert and daughter, October Marie; sister, Sharon M. Porter (Waller); niece, Amanda M. (Porter) and her husband, Jonathan Allen; honorary aunt, Barbara A. Lillis (Waring); as well as his mother-in-law, Minnie Leona Boothman and three stepchildren and their spouses, Ashley and Gary Bush (daughter, Ariel), Jacoba Bloom (son, Aden and daughter, Alysa) and Michael Hutchison (son, Mikey and daughter, Nevaeh).

In lieu of flowers, the family requests any donations be made to the family to assist in the cost of Bill’s final expenses.
