William P. Blessing (Bill) born October 2, 1943, in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, has passed away in Boise, Idaho, on March 4, 2026. He was 82 years old and son of W. Phillip Blessing and Norma Crowley Blessing with two surviving siblings, Linda Koep (Court), and Robert Blessing (Lori dec.) all of Coeur d'Alene. He graduated from IHM High School, and earned two bachelor's degrees, one from Idaho State University, and Eastern Washington University. He and Dian Dawson Blessing have three children, Chad (Marta) Blessing of Boise, Idaho; Todd Blessing of Anchorage, Alaska, and Brooke A. Blessing of Boise. Bill had special love for his six grandchildren: Chad and Rondee's children Avery and Millie; Todd and Brooke Beardsley Blessing's children Aidan (Kylie) and Kaiya; and Brooke Blessing's children Air Force Captain and

Bill's career spans many professional roles, including VP of Marketing at Bunker Hill Mining Company, stockbroker for Dean Whitter, financial analyst for the State of Idaho, and the SEC in Seattle.

I worked with Bill for many years at the DOF. He was such a fun guy and a good friend to all. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. I´ve thought of him often since he retired.
