Champ Ramsey Obituary
Bob passed away at his home on Sept. 26, 2025, in Buhl, Idaho. He had a good life and a good wife with three boys.
Born to Daisy and Champ Clark Ramsey, Sr. on April 12, 1945, in Portland, Oregon later moving to Mountain Home, Idaho. His parents met while both were welding on the Liberty ships during World War II. He grew up in Boise graduating from Borah High and then Boise Jr. College.
His career included breaking horses, horse shoeing, construction, Army and BLM. He rode bulls, and bareback horses at rodeos when he was young. Interests and hobbies included...branding with ranchers, shooting rock chucks, duck hunting in high school with Dick Plastino, rounding up wild horses with the Prunty's and Bieroth's, enjoyed his time with longtime cowboy friend Mearl Row. He had fun working with and PLAYING with Roger Cada, Keith Nix, Frank Bachman and many others including many ranchers and co-workers whom he was well respected for during his time at the BLM and other jobs. Lots of humorous stories from great friends and coworkers, but probably not a good idea to include in this obituary! Later, after retirement he enjoyed getting to know the latest gossip from the area and all the people he knew and worked with. He also enjoyed having Jimmy Baker run a few cows on his pasture and having some livestock around after not having horses and having someone to chew the fat with.
Special thanks to Melissa Mitchell, Cathy Aslett, Keith and Caroline Nix for their help and support during the recent tough times.
Bob married Marilyn on Jan 11, 1973, and had three boys.
The surviving family include, Wife, three boys. Surviving family includes his Wife, three boys, sister, grand kids, and great-grand kids and many others.

I'm a former co-worker in the Jarbidge Field Office, really enjoyed Bob's sense of humor, cheerful attitude, and he was a great mentor for a college boy who needed to learn to deal with the cowboys. Sorry to hear of your loss.
