Timothy “Tim” Klingaman (67), beloved father and grandfather, passed away peacefully at his home in Gilbert, Arizona on August 12, 2025, after a long and courageous battle with kidney disease.

He was born to Thomas and Marilyn Klingaman on August 13, 1957 in Indianapolis, Indiana where he spent his childhood with siblings (Beth, Jane & John). In 1976, Tim moved to Tempe, Arizona to attend Arizona State University where he (fell in love with Mexican food) and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business and Entrepreneurship.

Tim was a jack of all trades, there wasn’t one thing he couldn’t build or fix. Throughout his working life, he embraced many entrepreneurial adventures, from piloting private seaplane tours across the northern lakes of Michigan, snowplowing, building houses, selling Christmas trees, to taking on countless other ventures. He loved baseball, snowmobiling, boating, traveling, reading, music (especially Jimmy Buffet), and spending time with his kids and grandkids. Though Tim’s stubborn streak was famously well-known, his devotion to those he loved knew no limits – there wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for those he cared about.

He is survived by his children (Tanner & Kendall) who will always remember him for the strong, smart and fierce man he was – and his Grandchildren (Eliott & Rose) who will always remember him as their loving and playful Grandpa who had all the coolest toys!

He leaves behind a legacy of hard work, perseverance, adventure – and a strong combination of both love and grit – which will sure to be carried on by his family and the lives he touched.

Tim’s adventurous spirit, love of the water and simple joys will live on in those who knew him best. “If there’s a heaven for me, I’m sure it has a beach attached. If the phone doesn’t ring, it’s me.” – Jimmy Buffet

She was born in Minot North Dakota in 1935 on October 6^th to Zephon Merwin Smith and Hazel Fern Biggers Suhr.

She had an older brother Marwin and a younger sister Arlene.  She married and gave birth to 4 children who she dedicated her life to.  She moved up to Revelstoke, BC Canada for a time with 2 of her youngest children but the pull of Arizona and the desert brought her back to spend the remainder of her life in the Phoenix area.  She was blessed with 10 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren.

Mom was a giving soul.  She really would give her last dollar to help someone who might need it.  If she found out our waitress was a single mom, that waitress was guaranteed to get a $20 tip even if we only had coffee.  The fun and feisty side of mom?  Oh gosh.. there are so many stories.  One of our favorite pastimes with her was to go to restaurants and she would pretend to be rich and from another country.  We had so much fun pretending to be famous people!  If you came to our house on St. Patrick’s day be prepared for a very creative dinner!!  She would get out the green food coloring.  There would be green potatoes, milk, cake, and juice also. She worked in Canada as a supervisor at several restaurants in the Revelstoke area.  She became a grandma for the very first time on April 4, 1981 and fell in love with her new role of being “Grannie”.  She bought dozens and dozens of outfits for her new granddaughter.  She continued to do this with all the grandkids to follow and whenever she went shopping she always came home with some pretty little dress or suspenders for whichever new grandbaby had just arrived.  When she moved back to Arizona she continued that tradition.  She raised all of us kids around the race track and when she moved back to Arizona she worked for decades at the race track until she retired at 79.  She had 4 of us kids who she loved with all her heart and for the past 10 years of her life she also had 2 bonus kids; her best friend and grandson David Clift and her beloved granddaughter Amelia Napier.  They came at a moment’s notice to help her if she needed them.  David handled all her day to day needs and Amelia acted as her nurse.  She was forever grateful to them both and felt so blessed to have them.

Mom is survived by her four children, DeeAnna Wane Clift “Dave”, Dale Scott Manning “Kate”, Kim Alyson Pendergast “Don”, and Karla Marie Leduc. Mom will be so very missed it’s hard to even put into words.  She was our matriarch.  She was the glue that held us all together.  Her final wish was to be sprinkled over the Rocky Mountains so she would always be travelling.  For her 90th birthday, October 6, 2025 in Clearwater, BC Canada we are all coming together as a family to make her last wish come true.  Mom we love you and we miss you every day.

Eda LaPreal Johns, beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on August 6, 2025, at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, LaReda and Harold Porter, at the age of 96.

LaPreal was born on August 4, 1929, in Mesa, Arizona, to Eda and Lorenzo Lisonbee. She grew up surrounded by a large, loving family that included her brothers Lorenzo, Ovid, Fred, Rey, William, and Alvin. She was also the cherished younger sister of Ella, who had passed away as a child before LaPreal’s birth.

In 1948, LaPreal married Lyle Shelley Webb, and together they raised four children: Lyle Rey, Milo Reed, LaReda, and Gayle. In 1953, the family moved to Phoenix. After her marriage to Lyle ended, LaPreal married Robert Glenwood DeHeer on July 13, 1973. They shared 30 joyful years together until his passing in 2004. Later, she was blessed with another loving marriage to Robert F. Johns, whom she married on January 17, 2009. Their years together were filled with companionship and love until his passing in 2011.

Faith and service were the cornerstones of LaPreal’s life. A devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she served as Relief Society president, as a temple worker, and even as a service missionary well into her 80s. She gave tirelessly of her time and talents, always finding joy in lifting others.

Outside of church service, LaPreal worked for many years at the Arizona State University bookstore, where she was known for her dedication and kindness. She also devoted much of her life to caregiving, welcoming into her home her husband’s aunt and later both of her parents. Her hospitality extended to all—whether family, friends, or strangers, she opened her doors to anyone in need of a place to stay.

Family gatherings were at the heart of her life. She prepared countless holiday meals, creating memories that her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even great-great-grandchildren will treasure for years to come. LaPreal had a remarkable ability to love everyone she met, and her deep devotion to her family was evident in every part of her life.

She is survived by her daughters, LaReda and Gayle, and by a legacy of posterity who will remember her strength, her faith, and her endless love.

Mesa, Arizona – Our dearly beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, and friend – David Scott Fabiano, 58 – passed away on 4 September 2025. After experiencing the challenges of an aggressive brain tumor for the past 2 ½ years, David spent his final days enjoying the company of his family and friends, some beloved ice cream, and finally, Laura’s cookies.

David was born in Jersey City, New Jersey, to L. Joe and W. Claudene Fabiano. He was the second twin of the second set of twins in the Fabiano family. As the seventh of eight children, all born within eight years, David cherished his upbringing in this full home. He considered his siblings his best friends his entire life. The family moved often when David was young. He loved the time spent in southwest Colorado where he began honing his skill of running cost/risk analysis. He became legendary for not returning home after school until sunset, even though he was supposed to come straight home. When asked why he would face the wrath of his father every night, David would simply reply, “There was a creek to play in. If I went home, I would have to do chores and homework. It was worth the swat.”

The family eventually settled in Farmington, NM where David attended junior high and high school. David’s mom used to say that “David got good enough grades to play football.” He didn’t enjoy homework, even though he loved learning. After high school, David served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He spent 2 years in Indiana, and he loved his time there. His twin, Mark, was serving in the Dominican Republic at the same time, and David expressed gratitude that he only had to suffer the cold of Indiana rather than the bugs and vermin of the DR.

After his mission, David spent some time in Farmington, NM, then Salt Lake City, UT, and finally Mesa, AZ, where he met Laura soon after he arrived. They met in a choir of young single adults where David shined as a tenor and a natural performer. Within a few months, they began dating and were married on June 1, 1990, in the Mesa, AZ temple. 3 days later, David began college full-time. With the prospect of a family to provide for, David was a much more motivated student, graduating magna cum laude with a BS in Civil Engineering and a Master’s just a year later. This began his lifetime passion for public works and servant leadership.

David started his career at Gannett Fleming in 1993 while still a student at ASU. In Jan. 2000, he moved to Stanley Consultants where he remained for 16 years. David loved driving all over the state of Arizona meeting with clients and attending council meetings, helping communities improve their public works. In 2016, David told Laura that he wanted to move to the public side of his profession. He wanted to affect change that could only occur if he was on the other side of the table. In Sep. 2016, David changed sides and began working as the Town Engineer for the Town of Gilbert. Laura was excited for a government job since that would mean 40-hour work weeks instead of 60-80. She should have known better. David worked as tirelessly for Gilbert as he did as a consultant. He was a champion of doing things the right way the first time, defending proper right-of-way practices, and tackling hard things, rather than kicking the can down the road to create problems for the future. David certainly attained his goal to improve the world around him.

David’s greatest joy was his children. Erin and Brianna joined the family while David was still in college. He would pick them up from the babysitter a few hours before Laura got home from work, and they would have a ball. Matthew, Anthony, Nathanael, and Caleb came along over the next seven years. Even with six young children, David and Laura both felt that there were two more little girls meant to join the fun. Raelynn and Jocelyn arrived soon after, and we finally felt complete.  When one of David’s former scouts came calling on his oldest daughter, David was thrilled. And once grandchildren entered the picture, joy took on a whole new meaning.

Almost as soon as David and Laura were married, David was called to work with the young men at church and was very active in the Boy Scouts of America program. He was all in. Pinewood Derbies, camping with the Scouts, making knives with the Varsity boys, Varsity triathlons, training other leaders through the Woodbadge program, countless Eagle projects, National Jamboree, and his very favorite: backpacking at Philmont. David was awarded many scout leadership awards, including the Silver Beaver award in 2011.

As a college student, David joined the student chapter of the American Public Works Association (APWA) and remained an active member for the rest of his life. He participated in the Arizona chapter leadership for many years and then became the Arizona delegate to the National Congress of APWA. In 2018, David became a member of the APWA National Board as the Region VII director. He loved his time with this elect group of people. David set a great example of how to disagree without being disagreeable.

The guiding star of David’s life was his unshakable faith in Jesus Christ. As an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, David spent countless hours serving in many roles, impacting the lives of all those around him. He enjoyed being able to assist those in need at any time. He loved having a garage full of tools that anyone could borrow. If he didn’t have the tool you needed, just give him 20 minutes, and he’ll run buy it, so you can borrow it. He took selflessness to a whole new level.

David particularly adored worshiping through music. He enjoyed participating in choirs and musical productions while still in school. He continued to be the rock of every church choir tenor section over the next 40 years. Although he never really learned how to read music, he used to say that he could tell when the notes went up or down. He had a good ear, so even if he was on the wrong note, “at least it was in the chord.” Singing in the Gilbert Temple dedication choir in 2014 was a highlight when David was able to really open up and SING. He had a big voice that matched his big personality. He used this to great advantage when participating in Woodbadge song traditions. “Is there a Beaver in the House?” (If you know, you know.)

David is survived by his adoring wife, Laura; eight children and one son-in-law; three grandsons; his father, Joe; his siblings; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and loved ones. He is preceded in death by his mother, Claudene, and sister-in-law, Andrea. Many thanks to our Gilbert family and our APWA family for their love and support. A special thanks to Mark for being at every doctor visit, every surgery, and always taking care of “your guy.”

A memorial to celebrate David’s life will be held on Friday, September 12, 2025 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1718 N. Date, Mesa, AZ 85201. A visitation will begin at 10:00 a.m. The funeral service will begin at 11:30 a.m., with a brief reception to follow. The gravesite service will begin at 2:00 p.m. at the Mesa City Cemetery, 1212 N. Center St., Mesa, AZ 85201. All events are open to the public, and we hope that everyone who knew and loved David will be able to join us as we commemorate a life well lived.

The funeral service will be broadcast over Zoom.

He spent his early childhood in Hollywood, Long Beach, and Palos Verdes alongside his older sister, Pam, before his father’s career took the family to Houston, Texas, and later to Atlanta, Georgia.

From an early age, Theril loved baseball, go-karts, and dirt bikes. While living in Atlanta, his father was diagnosed with colon cancer and passed away shortly after. His mother then relocated the family to Utah to be closer to relatives, where Theril deepened his connection with his grandparents and many cousins.

The family settled in Bountiful, Utah, where Theril entered junior high. Living at the base of the mountains, he developed a lifelong love for adventure. He persuaded his mom to let him buy a dirt bike, and from then on, he rode through the mountains from Farmington to Salt Lake City—where the rides just got bigger and faster, a passion that carried through his life and became something he was known for.

During his school years, Theril was an active athlete, playing baseball, football, tennis, hockey, and participating in track. He even started the bowling team at Bountiful High School, where he graduated from in 1973. Theril then went on to continue his education while attending Utah State University and Weber State University.

On September 19,1980, Theril married Loni Logan, and they made their home in North Salt Lake City, Utah, where he completed his degree in accounting and became a CPA. They welcomed their first two children, Jill and Craig, during this time. In 1986, Theril returned to his beloved Long Beach, California, for a year before relocating to the Roseville/Granite Bay, California area, where their son Mark was born.

Over the years, Theril worked in automotive, grocery, technology, construction, while using his CPA in accounting. He became a partner at a CPA firm and helped launch what is now Peak Investment Solutions, guiding clients in building their financial futures. In 2003, after retiring from his CPA partnership, the family moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where Theril worked as General Manager for Freightliner of Arizona. He also continued to grow Peak Investment Solutions and later helped start EVO Natural Gas, expanding his career into energy investments.

Beyond his career, Theril loved being involved in his children’s sports and activities, creating lifelong memories and friendships. After retiring at 60, he returned to his Long Beach roots, enjoying time at his home there as well as in Arizona. He filled his days with golf, beach trips, collecting cars, performance driving, car shows, and air shows.

Most importantly, Theril cherished being “Papa” to his grandchildren, who brought him tremendous joy.

Theril is preceded in death by his parents, Myrna Joy Howard and Theril Lester Lund, and his sister, Pamela Sue Evans. He is survived by his wife of 45 years Loni Lund, children Jill Hutchings (Ryan), Theril Craig Lund (Catriona), and Mark Lund (Robin); and his beloved grandchildren Jayna, Jayden, Brynley, Theril Hudson, Presley, Maverick, and Luna; along with an aunt, many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who will miss him dearly.

Theril will be remembered for his adventurous spirit, his love of family, and the many lives he touched with kindness and laughter.
