Kenneth George Pattan
February 22, 1939 — February 9, 2015
Kenneth George Pattan - Known as George to family and friends - passed away in Cascade, Idaho on February 9, 2015. His passing was sudden although he had experienced decline for many years.
George was born on February 22, 1939 in Buhl, Idaho to Herman and Muriel (Eaton) Pattan. He was the youngest of seven children. After leaving Buhl, the family lived a few years in Van Wyck before moving to the home George remembered as his boyhood home on Cabarton Road in Cascade.
George was artistic and carved lovely designs from wood. He had carpentry skills. He did much of the work on the home where he raised his family just outside of Cascade. He also built some pieces of furniture for the home.
His main employment through the years was with Boise - Cascade Corporation. By the time he retired in 2000, he had worked for them for about 40 years.
He married Mary (Robbins) Pattan on June 16, 1973. They were the parents of seven - four daughters and three sons. At the time of his death, the family had grown to include fifteen grandchildren.
George was a member of the Assembly of God Church for many years. He attended faithfully until health concerns made that impossible. He loved the Bible and had committed many long passages to memory.
George was a devoted family man. He loved his wife, children, grandchildren and all the extended family members as well. He was enthused about visits with each one.
George was preceded in death by his parents; three brothers, Howard, Cliff and Wayne; and his sister, Rose. He is survived by his brother, Ray; his sister, Dorothy; his wife, Mary; his seven children, Heather, David, Heidi, Sarah, Erica Jonathan and Matthew; and his fifteen adorable and remarkable grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held Friday, February 13, 2015 at 3:00 P.M. at the Cascade L.D.S Church. The interment took place earlier this week with the family under the direction of the Heikkila Funeral Chapel.
