Warren P. Hurleyof Philip, South Dakota, died on Thursday, April 7, 1994
|
Warren Phillip Hurley was born December 31, 1952, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to Burton and Genevieve (Callahan) Hurley.
He grew up as a child near Canton, South Dakota, moving to the Black Hills area in the 1960s. He graduated from Belle Fourche High School. As a young man he worked for the railroad and for various ranchers in western South Dakota.
He was united in marriage to Amelia Stoner on July 13, 1974, at Philip, South Dakota, and to this union two daughters were born, Cassie and Carrie.
He and his family have lived in Haakon County since 1974. In 1986 an acreage was purchased northwest of Philip, which they have developed into a ranching operation.
Warren's happiest times were spent with his family, who aided him with his ranching operation. He spent a great deal of time with his daughters, which brought him great joy. He had a great love for horses, livestock, hunting, fishing, and working outdoors. Many friendships were developed over the years. His love for life was evident through his wonderful sense of humor and his gift of gab. Most times you would see him with his very faithful canine companion, Chip.
Warren was baptized and confirmed in the Catholic faith. He was a member of the National Rifle Association.
Grateful for having shared his life are his wife, Amelia Hurley of Philip; two daughters, Cassie and Carrie Hurley, both of Philip; five brothers: Bruce Hurley of Kingman, Arizona; Tom Hurley of Gillette, Wyoming; Paul, Wayne and Leo Hurley, all of Kingman, Arizona; five sisters: Lucille Hurley of Chino Valley, Arizona; Margaret Iverson of Joseph City, Arizona; Eileen Lowery of Gillette, Wyoming; Mildred Ramos of Riverside, California; and Helen Ames of Chino Valley, Arizona; his wife's family, Leo and Mary Anne Stoner of Pierre, Kenny and Robin Stoner, Heather and Cole, of Hayes, and Lois Stoner of Pierre; several nieces and nephews; and a host of other relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
