Heath went to Chubbuck elementary school and graduated from Highland High School in 2003. The most important thing in his life was his son, Taylor. He would take him to work to drive his postal route with him, take him hiking, rock climbing, fishing, swimming, and even taught him how to snow board. They did everything together. He was so very proud of his son's accomplishments. Heath loved anything to do with the outdoors. Heath was an avid fisherman, hunter, hiker, runner, golfer, and rock climber. Heath was the type of person that was always smiling and laughing. We will never forget his loud and booming laugh. Heath had the biggest and most beautiful smile. Our family will love and miss him every day. Oh how we love you Orange.
