Survivors include his father, Lyle of Mesa, Arizona; daughter, Amber Gruber of Minden; sisters, Sandy (Matt) McClellen of Kearney, Lori (Jeff) Luke and Lisa Roeder, all of Chandler, Arizona; grandchildren, Jessie, Jared and Lillian Gruber of Minden; along with aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
