Eckersell Funeral Home (Eckersell Memorial Chapel) Obituary

Cleve K. Burnside, 76, of Rigby, Idaho, passed away on July 26, 2025, doing what he loved—tinkering. With a wrench in one hand and a quiet grin on his face, Cleve left this world the same way he lived in it: hands-on, full-hearted, and always curious.

To the family of Cleve, I'm sad to here that Cleve has passed away. Condolences to everyone. My name, Clark Inglet, probably doesn't mean much to most of you, but I'm pretty sure that his wife may remember me and my brother, Nate Inglet.

Liked him in high school, knew the Skinner family too. Good people. I owe my life to DeAnnas husband Brion. Wishing your family comfort and peace. Love, Kit & Cindy Bramwell

Dear Jeanie and Family
I am so sorry about your dear husband and dad and brother. As you know Jeanie, I was a year behind Cleve in high school so I have known him almost my entire life. When I enrolled in driver's ed, Cleve and Lynn Radford were my driving team. Remembering how intimated I felt as these two 'boys' had probably been driving since they were five, they both treated me with patience and a sense of humor. I thought Cleve was so nice and polite.

Rest in peace with honor and gratitude for your service.

What a obituary the Burnsides wintered close to me in Arizona for eons. I always enjoyed swinging out to their estate and always left feeling welcomed.
As the tide turns I miss those who have left before me.
Condolences to all the family.
A fellow 116th comrade.
