About | Dwayne was my hostbrother and best friend for over 50 years. Dwayne Leroy Wood March 23, 1955 - December 24, 2020 Cascade, Idaho - Dwayne Leroy Wood, age 65, passed away Thursday, December 24, 2020 at his home. Dwayne was born March 23, 1955 in Nampa, Idaho. He lived in Boise, Idaho until his retirement from Idaho Power Company in 2017, whereupon he moved to Cascade, Idaho. He spent the majority of his career working for Idaho Power in their Recreation, Parks, and Environmental Sections up and down the Snake River corridor. He retired in 2017 as the Supervisor of the Recreation/Park Section. This was the perfect job for him because he was a pleasant and persuasive person with strong feelings about public access at Idaho Power's project areas--plus it gave him plenty of opportunities to work in the out-of-doors, which he loved. Dwayne is survived by his parents Betty and Melvin Wood, his son and daughter-in-law John and Julia Wood, his daughter and son-in-law Maria (Wood) and Nate Willacy, and his cherished grandchildren Liam Wood, Owen Wood, Franklin Willacy, and Eliza Willacy; all of Boise, Idaho. He is also survived by numerous other family members from around the northwest. His greatest pride and joy was his family, and his greatest sorrow will be not being here to watch his grandchildren grow up. |
