Dennis Beverland, age 77, of Arco, passed away on May 10, 2026, in Idaho Falls.
Dennis is survived by his son, James Beverland; daughter, Kimberly Bruneau; stepchildren, Kim Braswell, Kody Fausett, and Kaylan Fausett; as well as numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Dennis was born on June 4, 1947, in Arco, Idaho, to Seymore Beverland and Georgia (Palmer) Beverland. Alongside his siblings Boyd, Clyde, Beth, Ila, and Lila, he spent many years working on the family farm.
Dennis graduated from Butte High School in Arco, Idaho. Throughout his life, he held a wide variety of jobs and was known for his strong work ethic. His careers included working as a lineman for Lost River Electric, a meat cutter and butcher for Ivie’s Grocery Store in Mackay, a bus driver for the Thompson Creek Mine, a bus driver for the Butte County School District, and later an over-the-road truck driver following his retirement from the school district.
Dennis enjoyed hunting, fishing, riding horses, bucking bulls, bowling at Lost River Bowl, and swing and jitterbug dancing at the many gathering places throughout the Lost River Valley.
He loved sports, especially football, and was a devoted fan of the Green Bay Packers — though he would gladly cheer for anyone playing the Dallas Cowboys. In baseball, he rooted for the Minnesota Twins and anyone playing the New York Yankees. Dennis often said his favorite teams were the Butte Pirates and the Mackay Miners, regardless of the sport.
Dennis dedicated countless hours to Butte County athletics, the Arco and Mackay rodeos, and the students of the community. His love and commitment to his community were evident in everything he did. If he was not coaching, he was running the clock, moving the sticks, keeping stats, driving the bus to events, or cheering from the stands.
Known as a prankster, Dennis was famous for his quick one-line jokes: “There’s something on your shirt,” “What did you step in?” or “Your shoe’s untied.” Even within hours of his passing, he was still trying these jokes on his nurses at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center before succumbing to his recent ailments.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at the Arco Middle School Gymnasium. Arrangements are under the care of the Anderson Family Funeral Home.

Cheri Reyné (Parr) Pearson passed away on August 16th, 2026, in her home in Moore, Idaho, at the age of 54. She was surrounded by loved ones and passed peacefully.

Cheri was born in Cadillac, Michigan, on June 29th, 1972, to Sharon Reynolds and Dean Steven Parr. She was the youngest of three kids and was the only daughter. She spent her childhood riding dirt bikes on the dunes, enjoying the Great Lakes, and spending time with her grandparents.

After her parents' divorce, she moved with her mom to Pocatello, Idaho, where she met and married the love of her life, Kevin Pearson. They were married at the First United Methodist
church on January 2nd, 1993.

The couple then moved to Moscow, Idaho, and started their family. The next year, in 1994, they welcomed their first son, Brandon, followed by their daughter Megan in 1995. Cheri always said that she was born to be a mother, and her kids all agree.

The family moved to Boise in 1995, where they lived happily. During this time, Cheri flourished as a member of her church community, as a bookkeeper, and as a young mother. Cheri and Kevin were known for their welcoming home and their legendary Bunco parties.

In 2004, to get away from the city, the family moved to Moore, Idaho, where Cheri found her true community and lifelong friends. She took so much pride in serving her community and
volunteered as an EMT for nearly 20 years. As an EMT, she not only saved lives but also provided a calm and loving presence for people in their darkest moments.

Cheri was dedicated to a life of service and also held a seat on the school board and was a member of the PTA, Arco Lions Club, and Blizzard Ski Patrol.

She loved living on a farm and spent the next few years teaching her kids to garden, can fruits and veggies and enjoy the fruits of their labor. She loved to bake and was always happy to try out a new recipe. Cheri and her family spent the summers camping, hiking, working outside, and throwing BBQs and movie parties for neighbors and friends to enjoy.

Whether people met Cheri in the grocery store checkout line, at school, or at the tax office, she was known for making people feel seen and appreciated even if they had just met. She never forgot a face, a name, or a story. She was always thinking of ways to help others.

In 2011, Cheri and Kevin were blessed with their second son, Cam, and their son Peyton rounded out the family in 2013. People called them crazy for having kids in their 40s, but Cheri just knew that she wasn’t done being a mom yet, and she was right.

Along with being a mother, Cheri cherished her time as a grandmother to her two granddaughters, Scouten Cummins and Rosie-Mae Pearson.

Cheri was diagnosed with ALS in August of 2023, and while the disease took her ability to move, walk, and eat, it never took away her love of others, her generosity, or her sharp wit.
Even after she lost the ability to speak, she still kept us all laughing with her eye-motion-controlled iPad and text-to-speech program.

After 3 years of living with the disease and beating the odds, Cheri passed away peacefully and without pain on August 16, 2026, at the age of 54.

She is survived by her dedicated and loving husband, Kevin Pearson; her children, Brandon Pearson, Megan Pearson, Cam Pearson, and Peyton Pearson; her daughter-in-law, Charlotte
Holman Pearson; her granddaughters, Scouten Cummins and Rosie-Mae Pearson; her mother, Sharon Reynolds; and her brothers, Tyler Parr and Travis Parr.

She is preceded in death by her father, Dean Steven Parr.

As per Cheri’s request, her body will be donated to the University of Utah ALS clinic to aid in research.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, August 22nd at 11 AM at the Moore Community Center, 3353 W. 3155 N., Moore, ID. In lieu of a viewing, the family will gather to greet attendees and loved ones an hour before the ceremony. There will also be a luncheon at the Moore Community Center following the services. Arrangements are under the care of the Anderson Family Funeral Home.

Robert Frederick Graefe III was born on June 4, 1946, to Meta and Robert Graefe. He passed away peacefully in his chair on the evening of July 28, 2026, in Kooskia, ID. He was born and raised in Sheboygan, WI with his two brothers Jim and Mike. Bob was very active in the community and sports growing up. He began playing football at a young age and played through high school, once even playing on Lambeau Field in Green Bay. After high school Bob played football into his college years at Central College in Pella, IA. Here he made many cherished memories and friendships that lasted through his lifetime.

In the late 60’s, following one of his college friends, Bob moved to Idaho and began working for Fish and Game. This job led him to do a beaver study in the Little Lost River Valley. From this point on the Little Lost would become home and he would again make many cherished friends and memories. Around 1970, Bob and his brother Mike bought and ran the Sinks Inn Bar and Cafe. During this time, he met and married his beloved wife, Jacqueline. This union immediately blessed Bob with four daughters, Lori, Jane, Joan and Kristi. Bob finished his collection of daughters with the birth of Mary in 1972.

Bob worked his whole life. He had a stint as a sod man with Merdith Sod Farms. He worked the mines in Challis. He worked around the valley. His final employer would be the INEL where he worked for 26 years until his retirement.

Upon retirement, Bob and Jackie moved to Kooskia, ID where they spent many happy years together until her passing in 2011. Bob remained in Kooskia until his passing, and yet again made many cherished friends and memories. His later years were spent fishing, planting trees and milkweed, tinkering, breaking and fixing things, traveling, visiting friends and family, and chasing his elusive monarch butterfly.

Bob was an exceptional human being. He was an avid hunter, fisher, and outdoorsman. He loved being in the mountains and finding the biggest trees in the forest. Bob never met a stranger. His quick wit and knowledge of all things made him a friend to everyone, and he carried and visited those cherished friendships throughout his lifetime. He was a tough guy with a big heart and as fearless as they come. Bob lived and loved life to the fullest. He will be deeply missed.

He is preceded in death by parents, Meta and Robert Graefe; wife, Jacqueline Graefe; and brother, James Graefe. He is survived by brother, Michael (Barb) Graefe; daughters, Mary (Kevin) Ellis, Kristi Olson, Joan (Bill) Howard, Jane Jensen, and Lori (Richard) Frasure; ten grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
