Kelvin Wolske

Wednesday, February 19, 2014

Kelvin Fred Wolske, joined his creator age the age of 63.

He was a Kuna resident most of his life, until he moved to Mountain Home with his wife and best friend, Faye.

He was a man of his word, a man of principle who kowtowed to no one but his God.

Even his bouts with cancer couldn't keep him down. He fought a good fight and lived a full life according to his rules, aided by his deep sense of right and wrong.

He always excelled in everything he was passionate about.

He played professional football for a short while then worked with his dad, Fred Wolske, in the family business.

He was very much into logging and mining and he possessed a sharp mind and a strong body to excel in it, too.

He has a lot of fond memories about his life and loves to tell stories about it to a kept audience, especially his wife, whom he shared everything about himself. He felt most complete with her as a loving and loyal partner.

Kelvin lived a good life full of love especially during the last five years of his life. He was lucky and blessed to be loved unconditionally and intensely by Faye and also enjoyed the love of his great friends who considered him family: Stephanie and Roy Phillips with their children Garrett, Dalton and Helena, Lehi and Becca Hartwell, Francis and Shirley Mangum, Gary and Ginny Gilman, Frank and Darlene Posthuma and Mr. Charlie Davidson.

He was a great mentor to his kids who loved and respected him greatly.

"We all die -- the goal isn't to live forever. The goal is to create something that will."

Kelvin Fred Wolske, a loving husband and a great friend. A passionate person with a beautiful soul.

Kelvin is survived by his wife, Faye Wolske, his stepchildren, Nikki and her husband, Albert, Jian, Jio and granddaughter Dominique.

Per his request, no services will be held. Cremation was under the direction of Rost Funeral Home, McMurtrey Chapel in Mountain Home.
