Lloyd Burnside Obituary
Lloyd was born December 1, 1926, in Rexburg, ID, to John Alexander Burnside and Mary Knight Burnside. He grew up and attended schools in Rexburg, ID.
He served in the United States Army during World War II. He went to Occupied Japan, and a significant assignment was guarding the Emperor's Palace. He returned from the war as a disabled veteran.
On August 14, 1945, he married Ruth Wickham in Dillon, Montana, a love that endured a life time. Lloyd and Ruth made their home in Idaho Falls, Idaho, where Lloyd worked as a carpenter in construction. They had four children, Robert, Randy, Walter, and Penny.
He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He belonged to the Local 808 Carpenters Union serving in multiple leadership roles, and the Elks Lodge. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, spending time with his children and grandchildren. He was affectionately know as the "Candy Man". His popcorn was legendary. Oh how his eyes twinkled when he was giving to others.
