Harley Wallis Obituary

Published by Legacy on Oct. 1, 2025.
Harley William Wallis passed away on August 23, 2025 at the age of 93 in his home on the family ranch. Harley left behind a great legacy of working hard even until the very end, always looking out for the little guy, and a man of his word no matter the sacrifice. Harley was born on August 13, 1932 in Carmen, ID. He received a Bachelor of Science in Mining and Metallurgy from the University of Idaho, which took him and his young family to work in South America. After returning to the United States and traveling within the mining industry for over a decade, Harley realized his lifelong dream of owning and working a family ranch. He settled in the Pahsimeroi Valley with his beloved wife to raise his family and care for everyone that visited the ranch. This loving family man leaves behind his devoted wife Eileen after 73 years of marriage and a large family of children, grandchildren, and even great, great grandchildren.
There will be a Celebration of Life open to all those that wish to gather with his family on September 6th 11 a.m. at the Wallis Family Ranch.
