Clyde Adrian Neibaur, sweet husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away at 10:15 on the evening of August 21, 2017 at peace in his home on "Neibaur Mountain" in Bancroft, Idaho surrounded by love. Clyde was an early Christmas present, born on December 10, 1929 in Newdale, Idaho, to Adrian Rhodes Neibaur and Alta Rowe Neibaur. He was the eldest child of seven and raised on the family farm where he enjoyed a full and adventurous life. He learned early the importance of hard work and love for the farm soil which led him to receive esteemed recognition in the FFA and other farming associations. As a senior, he was awarded the Idaho State FFA Championship for his potato yield and was awarded a trip to the National FFA awards in Kansas. Later in his life, as a seasoned farmer in the Caribou County area, he received a farming award for his Winter Wheat yield. Daddy loved farming and was deeply connected to the land. As hard as dad worked, he also loved to play. He had a knack for story telling (tall tales were his specialty), and enjoyed athletics and adventures with his two cousins and best friends, Grant and Newel Neibaur. Together they lived life to its fullest, fishing, hiking, swimming, camping, skiing, and playing high school sports. They attended Sugar City High School together and played football, basketball, and baseball. While attending Sugar Salem High School, dad met and fell in love with his lifetime sweetheart, Norma H Belnap. One of our favorite things as their children is hearing of their meeting and courtship. Dad and mom were married November 16, 1949 in the Salt Lake Temple and have been sweethearts, best friends, and companions ever since. A few weeks ago, dad and mom were reminiscing about their life together. He said, "I have been in love with your mother for 68 years. She is my sweetheart and angel." We have watched and learned from their living love story and devotion to one another; in their 68 years together, they have held hands every day and made sure to have a weekly date night, even if it was a simple drive up one of the canyons together. They have always made time for their relationship; I can count on my hands the number of evenings they slept apart, for their most favorite place in the world was next to each other. They built a forever home of faith and love together, raised thirteen beautiful children, and loved and served the Lord. Dad served as the bishop of the Pingree, Idaho ward for eight years with mama selflessly supporting by his side. In their later years, they lived out their lifetime dream as missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Nigeria Logos Mission and the Manhattan Temple Mission. The remainder of their lives were spent serving in the Logan, St. George, and Mesa LDS temples. In his last months, he battled cancer and was lovingly attended to by his family. His final days were spent in his home on "Neibaur Mountain," under the watchful tender care of his sweetheart, our angel mother. Despite her age and personal needs, she wouldn't leave his bedside. She lovingly held his hand, stroked his face, kissed him tenderly, and prayed continually for his merciful release to his heavenly home. She was sleeping peacefully by his side as he passed on from this life in the privacy of their love and home. Clyde Adrian Neibaur, a devoted husband and proud father, was often heard saying with deep pride to mama," Our Kingdom is Growing," first filling a baseball team and now an entire chapel. At the time of his passing his immediate family numbered 205, whom he knew each by name. Dad was more than a father, he was a hero to his wife and children, and I dare say, he was a hero to all that were privileged to spend time in his presence and learn from his brave, courageous and faithful heart and devoted testimony. There are three things we each learned at our father's knee which he embodied with each breath and action of his life: deep love of our Savior, Jesus Christ, the love and importance of family, and love and reverence for America and the freedoms we so enjoy. It is our hope, that we, who have known and loved him, may honor him with our deepest respect and abiding love by carrying on his legacy of enduring faith, love, and devotion, that as he has been a light of hope, peace, and truth for so many, so we to, may be a light unto the world. He is survived by his wife and sweetheart, Norma H Belnap Neibaur, three sisters, Rose Barney (Charles), Iris Hunter (Keith/deceased), Karryn Hunter (Les), one brother, Kent Neibaur (Ann), twelve children, Kathie Sweet, Mitchel Neibaur, Chad Neibaur (Jacki), Linda Hebdon (Steve), Vicki Yost (Date/deceased), Wesley Neibaur (Randie Sue), Brent Neibaur (Tarryn), Cindy Neibaur (Suzy), Lanette McCurdy (Chris), Betty Jo Giles, Juliet McCullough (Steve), JanaLee Hatch (Justin), 55 grandchildren and their respective spouses, and 92 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Adrian Rhodes Neibaur and Alta Rowe Neibaur, brother, Gleason Neibaur (Joan), sister, Ruth Williams (Neal), and loving daughter, Patricia Ann Avery (Wayne).
