Obituary: Carkuff, Murray Clayton
Age 71
He was born on May 4, 1944 to Marjorie and Clayton Carkuff in Coeur d’ Alene, ID.
In 1978 Murray married Carol DeVall.
Together they enjoyed six kids, 17 grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.
He started working at a young age and held several professions before settling into the construction business.
He was always looking for new ways to learn and grow as an individual.
In 2009 he retired from his superintendent position at Debco Construction.
Murray was nicknamed by many “The Taz Maniema” due to the fact he was always on the run.
He had many gifts and talents but his family knew him best as a loving husband, father, grandfather and brother.
He loved the great outdoors, NASCAR, and old cars.
He was preceded in death by his parents, a daughter, Kimberly Carkuff, grandson, Kelly Carkuff, and brother-in-law, Bruce Miles.
He is survived by his wife Carol; six children: Darren Carkuff (Rory), Janet Hall (Les), Shawn Carkuff (Crystal), Heath Carkuff (Amy), Dustin Carkuff (Kelly), Tony DeVall (Errika); three sisters: Sharon Miles, Marjean Millsap (Jim), and Candi Crockett (Duane); 17 grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
