May 26, 1938 – November 24, 2022
David O. McClure was born May 26, 1938, in Gooding, ID. He was born to “Boots” and Louise McClure. Eighteen months later, his little brother John joined the family, and they were inseparable. David attended school in Dietrich, Idaho, and graduated from high school in 1956. Dave served six months of active duty in the Army and several years in the reserve. Dave worked for the Highway Department for 42 years. In 1965, Dave married LuAnn Layton, who shared his love of classic cars. She joked that it was her 1957 T-bird that attracted him. Dave and LuAnn attended many classic car shows and every year attended the car auction at Sun Valley in their fifth wheel. Together they owned over 50 vehicles. He loved airplanes and loved to fly. He loved to hunt, farm, and always owned a horse.
Dave is survived by his wife LuAnn and their three children, Troy McClure, Lori (Daniel) Fox, Cami (David) Bloxham, and grandchildren Sydnie (Joe) Ball, Ryan Barry, Cambri Fox, Kyli (Tanner) Soug, Gentri Fox, Jadan Fox, Ellori Fox, Ty Bloxham, and Cody Bloxham, and three great-grandchildren; Leo, Alex and Everett Ball, and his sister-in-law Melba McClure.
Dave never met a stranger and was known for his warm personality, making everyone feel special and loved. His sense of humor and contagious laugh were the highlight of many occasions.
