Phillip R. Walton, 59

Phillip Reed Walton passed away May 25, 2023. He was born June 20, 1963, to James (Jim) and Alohae (Borley) Walton.

Phil loved life and enjoyed making new friends. He was outgoing and could have a conversation with anyone he met. He enjoyed the Idaho outdoors, especially hunting with his Dad every year, up until he fell out of a tree stand and broke his back in four places. He also enjoyed going on the family trip to Fish Lake every Aug. 1, the annual Dorothy Borley Memorial (grandmother) float trip on the Cd'A River and fishing with his parents in Echo Bay.

He loved spending time with his cousin, Kevin Diemert. He had a love for animals, especially his dear dog, Sammy. Phil is survived by his mother, Alohae; sons Ryan Walton Lanterman and Donald Nelson-Cloud (Brittani); a grandchild and brother Jamie Walton. Phillip will be greatly missed by all who knew him and will remain in our hearts forever.

Preceding him in death are his father, Jim Walton, infant sister Deborah Walton, grandparents Reed and Helen Walton, Dorothy and Walt (Tiny) Borley and cousin Kevin Diemert.
