Garth Brown, 86, passed away May 11, 2020 by the side of his daughter in Boise, Id.
He was under the special care of Keystone Hospice.

After many years in the cement business he and a friend, Garn Theobald, went into business together creating G & G Milling.
Dads favorite retirement job was working as a security guard at I.P. Bills Island located in scenic Island Park, Id. He made very many friends while living there. He continued some of those friendships for years after, including Bud and Ann Albin.
Those who knew Garth knew he enjoyed fishing and taking drives into the mountains. Later in life he enjoyed planting and tending his flower garden.
Garth and Anne were part of a pinochle club with the same 6 couples for over 35 years.
Garth had two daughters, Becky Plank Daniels and Debbie Strang
The most important time in Garth’s life was when he invited Jesus Christ into his heart as his friend, savior and Lord.

He is survived by his daughter, Becky of Idaho Falls, Debbie (Harry) Strang of Boise, Id and three grandchildren, Tony (Shanna) Plank, Jeremy Plank, both of Idaho Falls, and Courtney Plank of Denver Co., and great grandchildren, Kalli, Ashley, Cetera, Dreyden, Christian, Keiwan, Jerico, and Sidney.
