Warren Keith Park, 57, of Bridgeport, California, passed away September 7, 2013, at St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise, Idaho, from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident near Twin Falls, Idaho.
Born October 1, 1955, in Rigby, Idaho, to Keith Warren Park and Dolores Pelot Park, Warren was raised and attended schools in Ririe, Idaho, graduating in 1973. After graduation he moved to Idaho Falls, Idaho, and had a daughter, Andrea. He served in the U.S. Army from 1974-1977, attending Basic Training in Fort Ord, California, and stationed in Fort Lewis, Washington. After discharge he received his Associates Degree in Drafting & Design Technology from ISU. Warren migrated to California in 1983 and from this time forward mostly became known to his friends as "Keith." He held various IT positions in California, including a job with the Indy Racing League working for Toyota/MCI, overseeing IT technology functions for that team. Keith's latest position was as IT Specialist III for Mono County in Bridgeport, California. He worked with the Sheriff's office, District Attorney, elections, County Board, and was a very valued member of the community, but most importantly was a good friend to all. Flags were flown at half-staff in Mono County September 10th in his honor.
Warren deeply loved his family, with whom he would often have long telephone conversations. He was a loving, open, honest, and adventurous person who enjoyed spending his time with his significant other, Bonnie, attending music and cultural events, hiking, and most of all riding his Harley. He was a great conversationalist who made friends easily and greatly enjoyed speaking with people from all walks of life.
Keith had a strong passion for animals and unconditionally loved his rescue dog, Kaweah, who was his furry best friend and companion. Keith would take Kaweah for long walks every day and she’d thank him with lots of puppy kisses afterwards. He will be deeply missed by all who loved him, leaving a huge hole in our hearts.
Warren is survived by his Mother, Dolores Pelot Park of Ririe, ID: daughter, Andrea (Toby) Berry of Boise, ID, siblings: Gary Park of Loomis, CA, Richard Park of Idaho Falls, ID, and a sister, Lori (Billy) Tunks of Rigby, ID, grandkids: Kole and Kenna Berry of Boise, ID; and his true love, Bonnie Trimble of Reno, Nevada. Warren was preceded in death by his father.
