BURLEY – David Michael Gibson, a 73-year-old resident of Burley, passed away Thursday, Sept. 3, 2020, at his home.

He was born Nov. 18, 1946, in Riverside, Calif., the son of Roy Thelman and Jennie Mae Sinclair Gibson. He attended elementary school in Riverside, Calif., and completed his education in Malta and Declo. He married Janice Louise Bourquin on Nov. 23, 1968, in American Falls, Idaho. They lived briefly in Cortez, Colo., prior to moving to Riverside, Calif. In 1973, they relocated to Burley where he had since resided.

Dave worked as an auto parts wholesaler throughout the Western United States. From 2000 until 2018, he was the owner/operator of Gibson Auto Salvage in Heyburn. Throughout his working career, he made lifelong friends and was known for his honesty and integrity in his profession.

He was an active member of Apostolic House of Prayer in Rupert where he helped build the church both physically and monetarily. Additionally, he served many years as a church board member.

Other passions he enjoyed were building cars, hot rod cars, attending car shows, horses (especially horse racing), motorcycles, traveling, playing racquetball, golf and fantasy football, and, from a very young age, he enjoyed attending movies at the various movie theaters; this love lasted a lifetime.
