David Winn Obituary
David John Winn passed away at home in Moyie Springs, Idaho on March 8, 2025 from pulmonary fibrosis, surrounded by family.
Dave was born September 2, 1946 in Libby, Montana, the oldest of six children of David Jay Winn and Jean Bryant. He attended McCormick Elementary School and graduated from Troy High School in 1963. Dave felt fortunate to be able to grow up on the Pine Creek Ranch in Troy, Montana, driving tractors, riding horses, clearing land, and raising cattle. On August 30, 1975 he married LaDean Zimmerman in the Cardston, Alberta Temple. He was an active and faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He worked as a banker for 32 years, as well as at the sawmill, grocery store and insurance office. He retired from the Army National Guard in 2005, concluding 24 years of military service.
He loved spending time with his family swapping stories around the campfire. When he wasn't busy using a chainsaw, he was tirelessly serving others. Later in life, he enjoyed traveling the country with his wife - visiting kids and grandkids and enjoying road trips. Friends and family will remember him as one of the most hard working, inspirational, humble, friendly and caring people they've known. His funny one-liners and soft spot for the underdog will never be forgotten.
David will be missed by his loving wife LaDean, his children David (Lindsay), Elijah (Nikki), Alex (Anna), Emily, Brannen (Amy) and Will (Hillary), 19 grandchildren, one great grandchild, all five of his siblings, Bryant, Leslie (Darla), Glenda Orr (David), Naomi Black (Dan), Clifton, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Funeral Services will be held on March 29, 2025 at 1:00 pm at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on Alderson Ln. in Bonners Ferry, ID. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked for any donations to be made to the LDS Humanitarian Services website. To leave a message or memory for the family go to www.bonnersferryfuneralhome.com. Bonners Ferry Funeral Home is caring for the family.

I'll never forget Dave. He and I were friends in the National Guard. We traveled together in 1966 to Ft Ord, CA and were in the same company in Basic Training.
