Ivan Anthony "Pa" Heins

Ivan Anthony Heins “Pa” was born July 13, 1934, and was reunited with his eternal sweetheart Evyon (1938-2004) and daughter Kay (1959-1963) at his home March 18, 2026. Ivan was a loving husband, father, grandpa, uncle, neighbor, and friend. He dedicated his life to his faith, family and his John Deere tractors.

Ivan loved to tinker and work with his hands. He was a master mechanic and worked in the road construction industry for more than 30 years. He is survived by his loving wife Nancy with whom he spent 20 beautiful years. During the couple's time together, they served missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, did temple work, traveled the U.S., rode their motorcycle and built a beautiful life together through their unconditional love and friendship.

Ivan will be sorrowfully missed by his loving children Cory (Sarah) and Candi (Brian); grandchildren: Allysyn, Abby, Ian, Clark, Caleb, and Collin (Steve); great grandchildren: Camian, Kamdyn, Lovell, Rowan, Avynn, Ryatt, Kalixx, and Luca. He embraced Nancy's eight children: Cathy (Gale), Diana (Mark), Robert (Kimberly), Wendy (John), Stephen (Cari,) David (Shannon), Emily (Lee) and Jennifer. Ivan was blessed with many bonus grand, great grand, and great-great grandchildren.
