Dallas Clair Wilmarth, 84

Life’s journey ended for Dallas Clair Wilmarth of Aug. 22, 2019, at the age of 84.

He was born Sept. 29, 1934, in Cascade, Idaho, and was born the 13th of 14 children of Mary Evans and Benjamin Wilmarth. After graduating from Meridian High School, he served as an Army paratrooper, a Boise City firefighter, a Realtor and a construction foreman. But he realized his true calling was to be a restaurant business owner. He purchased the Sourdough Supper Club in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and later purchased the Gateway Resort in Harrison, where he loved to serve the people in his community.

Dallas was preceded in death by his son, Brad Wilmarth. Dallas is survived by his dear, close friend, Wanda Wearley; his two sisters: Delma Wilson and Mary Myhr; ex-wives, Joyce Sanderson and Bonnie Wilmarth; son, Doug Wilmarth; two daughters: Deyana Hopkins and Gina Rivera; six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

His jokes and charm will be missed by many.

Carrying out his wishes, his simple burial service will be performed at 11 a.m. Friday, Aug. 30, 2019, at Forest Cemetery, 1011 N. Government Way, Coeur d’Alene.
