Michael Redding, 73

Mike was a very kind soul and a gentle guy. He was born in Pasadena, Texas, and loved living in Idaho. Come summertime, he fished whenever he could! Since I don't think the City of Rathdrum would issue a permit to allow me to put him in the back of a truck in a rocking chair and drive down Main Street, there will be no services!

For all of you that knew Mike, thank you for your friendship. He dearly cherished you all. He is preceded by his mother and sister — and finally, they are together again! Northern Lakes Fire Department/EMS, you guys are so great! Thank you for everything!

To the Gentiva Hospice, thank you for helping us with this journey.

The memory of those we love stays in our hearts forever.
