WILLIAM SHARPLES Obituary
He was born in Klamath Falls, Oregon on February 8, 1945 to Wessley Merrit and Ruth (Brown) Sharples.
He is survived by his children, William David Sharples, Jr., John Arthur Sharples, and Julie Michele Jaramillo; 4 granddaughters, Charissa and Karlie Reeves, Kelly Sharples, and Zoey Sharples; 2 grandsons, Adrian Jaramillo and Rafael Najera-Diaz, Jr. with a great-grandson on the way, and 2 brothers, Jack and Joe Brown of American Falls, Idaho.
Bill drove truck most of his life with his true passion being a log truck driver; his other passion was building and flying model airplanes. He also enjoyed living out in the country as close to nature as possible and had a love for animals. Dad made friends wherever he would go, whether it was to go to the mini-mart or Rite-Aid. He was always pleasant and kind to everyone- always the charmer.
He will be missed by many and always loved by us all. We love you, Dad. Rest now, you have earned it.
No services are scheduled at this time.
Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Lemley Chapel, Sedro-Woolley. Share memories of Bill and sign the online guest register at: www.lemleychapel.com

I am so sad to hear of Bill passing away, I knew him for nearly 35 years and he was always there when I needed a friend. I will miss him very much and hope that his family finds comfort during this time of sorrow.
