Our sweet dad, David Gardner Heiner, 78, returned peacefully to his Father in Heaven on October 23, 2025, surrounded by those he loved most.

Dad was born in Afton, Wyoming, on the luckiest Friday the 13th, June 13, 1947 to Lloyd and Marva Lu Heiner. He grew up in Bedford, Wyoming on a dairy farm, where hard work and family shaped who he was. He often talked about milking cows before and after school in every kind of weather. Life on the farm taught him discipline, gratitude, and the importance of family.

After high school, Dad served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Southern States Mission. Shortly after returning home, he met the love of his life, our beautiful mom, Charlotte Staheli, at LDS Technical College. They quickly became best friends and stayed that way for the next 55 years. Even when Dad was drafted to serve in the United States Army during the Vietnam War, their love never wavered. He served bravely from 1969 to 1970, earning numerous medals and honors, including two Bronze Stars.

When he returned, Mom and Dad were sealed for time and all eternity in the St. George Temple on June 6, 1970. Together they began a life filled with love, laughter, and adventure. They moved to Kansas while Dad completed his active duty, and later settled in Arizona, where they raised their family. Dad ran his own dental lab for many years before retiring to drive a school bus for Mesa Public Schools where he was affectionately known as “Sarge.” He took pride in every job he ever had, but his greatest pride was always his family.

Dad often said, “The only thing you take with you to the next life are the memories and relationships you make here on Earth.” He lived by that. Our family was blessed to travel the world together, making memories that will last forever. One of the most special trips was returning to Vietnam in 2018, just before Dad was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia — a result of Agent Orange exposure during the war.

Through it all, Mom was his angel on Earth. Her devotion and love carried him through every challenge with grace and tenderness. Their marriage was more than love — it was true friendship, laughter, and an unshakable bond that inspired everyone who knew them.

Dad is preceded in death by his parents, Lloyd and Marva Lu Heiner. He is survived by our angel mom, Char, his eternal sweetheart and best friend; and by their four children — Mitzi (Clark), Alicia (Sal), Cameron (Marlie), and Colby (Brooke). He was known lovingly as Papa and Pops to 13 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren, who adored him.

We are deeply grateful to Stillwater Hospice, especially Jason, Erin, Christophe, Samantha, and Kaitlyn, for their compassionate care and kindness during Dad’s final weeks.

A celebration of Dad’s life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please honor him by spending time making memories with those you love most. The money will come back — the time won’t.

Bernardeen “Ann” Nicoll, age 92, of Mesa, Arizona, passed peacefully into the arms of her Savior on October 22, 2025 surrounded by her loving husband and family.

Ann was born May 7, 1933 to John Albert Allred and Prudence Millett in Mesa, Arizona. She was sealed to her parents Byron Adams and Prudence Millett in the Mesa Arizona Temple in 1942 — a covenant that deeply shaped her faith and the love she carried throughout her life.

Ann married Kent Mortensen (deceased) and subsequently married her eternal companion, Donald LeRoy Nicoll, on September 29, 1973. Together they built a beautiful marriage and life of 52 years filled with faith, laughter, and enduring love. Their family grew to include 10 beloved children — Sherry Mortensen Brinkerhoff (Joe), Tammy Mortensen Ence, Donald Jr. “Nic” Nicoll (Julie), David Mortensen (Alice), Karen Nicoll Bybee (Michael), Stacey Mortensen Garrett (Doug), Trudy Mortensen Blount (Dave), Laury Mortensen Moulton (Webb), Adam Nicoll, and Sarah Nicoll Alvarado (Nelson) — along with 40 grandchildren,
~113 great-grandchildren and 10 great-great grandchildren. Family was the center of Ann’s world and she cherished each and every one of them.

Ann’s love was both boundless and practical. She was organized, creative, independent and an impeccable homemaker who encouraged her children to develop their talents in sports, music, sewing and church service. She believed deeply in hard work and self-reliance and taught her family to find joy in the simple things — the smell of fresh bread, the joy of making their own clothing, the beauty of a sunrise, and the peace that comes from prayer.

Her children fondly remember her adventurous spirit and her love for the outdoors. Ann could often be found loading up the car for camping trips to Kohls Ranch, AZ and other places, often with just she and her kids, where she taught them to appreciate God’s creations and to live with gratitude and strength. She delighted in traveling with her family across the United States, especially to the coasts of California. She loved gardening, sewing, exercising, and living healthy, long before it was fashionable.

Throughout her life, Ann resided in Arizona, Utah, California, Oregon, New Mexico, and Colorado, blessing each community she called home.

Ann’s greatest legacy was her unwavering faith. As a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, she dedicated her life to serving others. She held numerous leadership callings in the Relief Society, Primary, and Young Women’s organizations, as well as serving as a Sunday School teacher, Cub Scout and Girl’s Camp leader. Later in life, Ann and Don served faithfully for 16 years as temple workers in both the Manti, Utah and Mesa, Arizona Temples, and as missionaries in Nauvoo Illinois Mission.

Ann will be remembered for her warmth, generosity, and deep love for the Lord. Her life was a quiet sermon of devotion, kindness, and faith — a legacy that will continue to inspire her posterity for generations to come.

Services will be held at 10:00 am on Saturday, November 8, 2025 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints located at 1430 N. Recker Rd, Mesa, AZ 85205.

A Visitation and Viewing will be held at 9-9:45 am prior to the service. An Interment will follow the funeral service at the City of Mesa Cemetery located at 1212 N. Center St, Mesa AZ 85201

In Loving Memory of Scott Tracy Quick

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Scott Tracy Quick, who left us far too soon, on October 14, 2025, at the age of 37.

Darrell Dean Fletcher passed away peacefully on October 18, 2025, in Mesa, Arizona.

He was born on August 2,1939 in Mesa, Arizona to Cecil (Pete) and Vera Fletcher. Darrell grew up surrounded by the love of his parents and two older brothers Don and Jack–developing an appreciation for simple circumstances, hard work, and faith–values that would guide him throughout his life.

Darrell attended Mesa High School. Following graduation, he attended The University of Arizona. Then, he chose to serve a full-time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He faithfully served in the Mexico City, Mexico Mission. There he learned to love Mexican culture, the Spanish language, and of course Mexican food.

After returning home from his mission, he attended Brigham Young University and received his Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering. After graduating from BYU, Darrell returned home to Arizona and attended Arizona State University where he received his Master’s in Mechanical Engineering.

While attending ASU, Darrell began work as a mechanical engineer–developing turbine engines for AiResearch Mfg.

While he was working for AiResearch Mfg, he met Connie Sue Orr and they were married and sealed in the Provo, Utah Temple on December 21, 1974. They lived in Tempe, Arizona and it was there that they welcomed their first daughter Jaime in the spring of 1976. Their daughter Tracy soon followed in 1978.

Soon after Tracy was born, they moved to Mesa, Arizona and lived at their beloved home on Williams Street for the next 44 years. There they welcomed son Jeffry in 1979 and daughter Kellie in 1981.

While his work accomplishments were many, Darrell found his greatest joy in time spent with family, working on projects around the house, taking care of his aging parents, and supporting his children and grandchildren in their many pursuits.

After retirement, Darrell and Connie were able to serve a church mission in the Salt Lake City, Utah Family History Center Archives Zone. Additionally, they served a church service mission at home. Darrell and Connie were blessed to have celebrated nearly 51 years of marriage together.

Darrell led a very happy, active life filled with family, friends, and many activities such as traveling, camping, fishing, family history work, computer programming, singing in choirs, and serving in many capacities at church.

He will be remembered for his kind heart, tireless work ethic, love of scouting, service to all around him, and his devotion to God.

He was born on March 6, 1945, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Ruel and Gloria Lee. Alan grew up surrounded by the love of his parents, grandparents, and siblings, developing an enduring appreciation for simple circumstances, hard work, and faith—values that would guide him throughout his life.

Alan attended Granite High School, where he played football under Coach LaVell Edwards and earned a spot on the varsity team all four years. Following graduation, he briefly attended the University of Utah and worked at Alta Ski Resort. Soon after, Alan chose to serve a full-time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he was set apart by his great-uncle, Harold B. Lee. He faithfully served in the Eastern Atlantic States Mission, where he met his future wife, Leslie Kay Grampp.

After returning home from his mission, Alan and Leslie reconnected while attending Brigham Young University, where Alan studied Business Communications and served in the Utah Army National Guard. During his time at BYU, he formed lifelong friendships and strengthened the values that would guide him throughout his life.

His first position was with the Robert Mullen Company, a public relations firm led by future U.S. Senator Bob Bennett. He later worked for Senator Wallace F. Bennett, and eventually for President Gerald Ford in Washington, D.C., serving as an Advance Man—a trusted role within the Ford Administration. While living in Virginia, they welcomed their second son, Clayton, in 1972.  

Eventually, Alan and Leslie made the long journey west to Tucson, Arizona, where Alan built a successful career in banking where he worked for Western Savings & Loan as a branch manager. While in Tucson, they welcomed their first daughter, Chelsea, in 1976. The family later settled in Mesa, Arizona, where Alan continued his work in banking before transitioning into real estate. In 1981, they welcomed fraternal twins, Cameron and Cassidy, and made Mesa their lifelong home, raising their family and establishing deep roots in the community. Alongside his professional pursuits, Alan also shared his expertise as an adjunct professor at several local colleges.

Beyond his many accomplishments, Alan found his greatest joy in time spent with family—working on projects around the house, golfing with friends, sharing stories, and supporting his children and grandchildren in their many pursuits.

Alan will be remembered for his quick wit, tireless work ethic, and generosity. He showed his love through action—always ready to lend a hand or offer support at family gatherings and milestones.

He is survived by his children Carter (Sandra), Clayton (Robin), Chelsea (Brian), and Cassidy; 18 grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and siblings Rita (Randy) and Brent (Elaine). He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Leslie; son, Cameron; parents; and brother, Jerry.

Edward Alvin Sproul Jr., also known as Peter, (age 66) unexpectedly passed away peacefully in his sleep on October 16th, 2025.

He was born November 10, 1958 in Denver, Colorado and resided in Mesa, AZ before his death.

He was a loving father to Edward Alvin Sproul III, Shannon Boyd, and Heather Larson. He was a beloved grandpa to his 8 grandchildren; Brigg, Brooke, Nolan, Smith, Ezra, Quinn, Ethan, and Kaylee.

Peter was a locksmith for over 35 years and never allowed being “shortened by a foot” at the age of 21 to slow him down. He grew up in a house full of sisters and loved providing continuous entertainment, love and support. He had fond memories of his time living on a sailboat in Marina Del Rey and in his later years spending time with his grandchildren and playing Bingo weekly.

He was a companion to Joyce Sproul and will be missed dearly. He will be remembered as someone who showed love unconditionally, valued honesty and truth, and was a constant confidant to his children.

The grief we feel with his absence only shows the love we felt from him during his time on Earth, which his family will forever be grateful for.

A celebration of life will be held in his honor with close family and friends. We thank those for their outpouring of love during this difficult time.
