He was born to Raeola Jensen and Douglas McFarland Rhead on September 11th 1951. He was the fourth child of 10. He grew up in the Moreland, Idaho area where he learned how to work hard and gained life skills and talents.

He had many good times with his siblings which included building rafts, chasing and racing horses, shooting rabbits, exploring the desert, playing games like no bears out tonight, kick the can and Annie I over. He also shared in the work load that comes with being raised on a farm.

He spent long hours moving pipe, herding sheep and the least favorite of all, picking rocks. He loved animals, especially horses, which he had a very special way with. He learned how to rope and was excellent at both heading and healing.

He loved to race horses with his brother Kent, and he taught his daughters how to ride and care for them. He learned mechanical skills which included rebuilding his truck engine. He was very meticulous about changing the oil and the mechanical upkeep of all his vehicles.
