Michael Warren Kearby

Mike Kearby, affectionately known as “Uncle Mike” to many, 74, of Mountain Home, Idaho, sadly passed away May 15, 2024.

Mike and his twin brother Ron were born in Enid, Oklahoma, June 25, 1949. These two characters were trouble from the get go, in a good way. You could always find them out in nature, roaming the woods or swamps, hunting or fishing in Louisiana.

Mike graduated from Mountain Home High School in 1968 and continued to reside in Idaho after a stent in the army where he served as a medic in Korea.

Idaho was a paradise for him as he loved the great outdoors. You could always find him out somewhere hunting or fishing, that was his true happiness.

Mike was a hard worker and spent most of his days laboring in the hot sun as a very skilled, well-known Mason. He enjoyed his craft immensely and passed this talent down to his nephew, “Little” Mike. Mike was not a man of many words but had a great sense of humor. He loved jokes and loved to play pranks on his friends which brought out a side of him that was rarely seen. He lived a fun, full, wonderful life.

Mike was a loyal son, brother, uncle and friend. He is surely reunited with his late parents, Charles and Dale, his twin brother Ron, brother Jerry, and his beloved dog Pete. He is survived by his sisters, Laura and Linda, many nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews and countless friends. Mike will be profoundly missed.

Until we meet again…

Mike will be put to rest at a graveside service for family on June 6, 2024 at 1:00 pm. Followed immediately by a celebration of life at Kurly’s Sports Bar & Grill at 124 E. Jackson Street for everyone to stop by and share a memory or two.
