Kevin Wall Obituary

Kevin Lynn Wall passed away at his home in Payson, Arizona on Saturday, December 12, 2015 at the age of 65. Kevin was preceded in death by his wife Carolyn Nettie Wall and by his parents, Melvin Gene Wall and Mary Margaret Phillips. Kevin is lovingly remembered by his siblings Nina Katherine (David) Cooper, Weldon Keith (Dolores) Wall, Kimberly (Deron) Johnson, Kelly (James) Barron along with his step children Aaron (Jennifer) Bartlett, Maria (Klaus) Witte, Tanya (Jose) Duarte, Eli (Rajni) Sentman and sister-in-law Gloria (Richard) Levesque, his four granddaughters Kathleen Zajicek, Makenzie Duarte, Jameela Oberoi Sentman, and Soleini Oberoi Sentman and his four grandsons Robin Forrest, Aidan Bartlett, Nate Bartlett and Joseph Zajicek and one great granddaughter Melina Forrest and nieces and nephews along with extended family, his two dogs, Dexter and Mia, and his cat, OC (Other Cat). Kevin was born in Durango, Colorado. He lived in Colorado for many years before moving to Arizona, where he met his wife, Carolyn. Carolyn was the love of his life. He lovingly cared for her during her long battle with cancer and never left her side. Kevin was the Golf Course Superintendent at the Bisbee Golf Course in Bisbee, AZ prior to relocating to Payson where he worked as the Golf Course Superintendent at the Rim Golf Club for several years. Kevin was employed at The Beverage Place at the time of his death and regarded all of his co-workers as extended family. He was an avid animal lover. He and his wife, Carolyn, loved to bet the horse races and adopted many Dachshunds over the years. Kevin loved comedy and would often try out his own routine on friends and family. He had an endless supply of jokes. To quote his favorite comedian, George Carlin, "I do like finding out where the line is drawn, deliberately crossing it, bringing some of them with me across the line, and having them happy that I did." After Carolyn's passing, he spent much time caring for his little dogs. He will always be remembered, and will live forever in our hearts. Services will be announced at a later date.
