Kevin Walling Obituary

Kevin Lee Walling November 16, 1959 – November 29, 2012 Kevin Lee Walling, age 53, passed away in Ellensburg, WA on November 29, 2012. Kevin was born in Martinez, CA to Claude and Betty Walling. The family later moved to Fruita, CO. Kevin excelled in little league and high school baseball. He graduated in 1977 from Fruita Monument High School. He joined the Plumbers and Pipefitters Local #145 and was known for his exceptional pipefitter skills. His profession took him to Craig, CO, where he met the love of his life, Sheila Weygant. They were married in 1984, and moved to Grand Junction. Although they were later divorced, they shared an unconditional love. Kevin had a wicked sense of humor and loved the Denver Broncos and the San Francisco Giants. He had countless loyal friends that will surely miss him. He was preceded in death by his parents, and is survived by his best friend, Sheila Walling; brothers, Dale (Maryann) Walling of Ellensburg, WA; Craig (Debbie) Walling of Ione, CA, and Don (Claudia) Walling of Tacoma, WA, and many nieces and nephews. A private service is pending.
