Sydney Adolph Mauch

Sydney Adolph Mauch, 55, was born April 5, 1965 in Pocatello, Idaho to Teresa and Douglas Mauch. On September 5, 2020 Syd passed away at home, after years of declining health. He was the best son, father, Grizzley Bear Papa.
He was a one of a kind friend. Syd was the type of friend to give you the shirt off his back. He will be remembered as a legend in little American Falls. His smile and laugh were contagious. If Syd was smiling and laughing, he would naturally make you smile. Syd loved life when life loved him. He enjoyed fishing, BBQ, camping, foosball, cooking, hugs from his grandchildren, his mustang, four-wheeling, dirt biking, working on his trucks, swimming, and his pit bulls.
In 1982 Syd met Trena, after a few mountain climbs, and fun times they fell in love. In 1988 Trina gave birth to Dezarai and Syd became a father for the first time. His mini me, SydDora they called her. Trena and Syd knew that Dezarai needed a sibling and they had Krista in 1993. Syd fell in love all over again. He had his two little girls. They were his whole world. In 1995 Trena and Syd split, and he remained a bachelor until he fell in love again in 2011. He met Regina Cerro, they later separated in 2018.
Sydney was blessed to have those last special moments with his girls. Even though his health was declining he made sure he walked Dezarai Down the aisle and gave her away in marriage on August 20, 2020.
Trucking was one of Syd's favorite jobs. He loved driving semi. You knew he was happy when he was behind the wheel. If you knew Syd, you met one of his many dogs, Dexter, Ryleeman, Brutus, Toker, Loadie and Buster. Busters sweet soul passed away as well to be with Syd on September 12, 2020. When they say a dog is a man's best friend that was no joke when it came to Syd.
Syd is survived by his mother, Teresa Mauch, his two daughters Dezarai (Randy) Svancara and Krista (Alex) Mauch; his 5 beautiful grandchildren, Nykolaus Skye, Lilley Hayden, Vida Liua CeCe, Traysen Ray and Addyisyn Jo "Addi Jo".
He is preceded in death by his father, Allen Douglas Mauch.
He will be loved forever and never forgotten. When you play a game of foosball, drink a shot of whiskey, a white Russian mixed drink, or get lost playing with a red nose pit please remember to think of the legend "Syd Mauch".
