| Published by Today's News Herald from Apr. 8 to Apr. 9, 2025 - Lake Havasu City, Arizona - Arthur Means, born on June 15, 1929, in The Dalles, Oregon, was a man of robust spirit, a beacon of kindness, and a pillar of his community. A patriotic soul, Arthur dedicated his time and energy to the American Legion Post 81, serving as the Post Commander three times. His love for camaraderie, food, and his community earned him the affectionate title of the "Taco King". He was a trucking enthusiast by profession and a member of Teamster, but his zest for life extended far beyond the road. He had a heart full of wanderlust, frequently embarking on travels with his beloved wife, Nadine. Arthur's life was a beautiful journey that took him from his birthplace in The Dalles, Oregon, to Portland, Oregon, then to Quartsite, Arizona, before he finally found his home in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, where he resided for 26 years. Arthur was a driving force behind the expansion of the American Legion Post 81, always ready to lend a hand in the kitchen or wherever help was needed. His Fridays at the Legion for Tacos & Beer were much loved by the community. His infectious laughter, warm nature, and his delightful tales of the road will be missed but forever treasured. Arthur is survived by his daughter, Debra Means, and sister, Sharon Layman. He was preceded in death by his father, Arthur Means, mother, Pearl Wallace, and his treasured wife, Nadine. The celebration of Arthur's life will take place on Friday, April 4, 2025, at 1:00 pm MDT at Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home & Crematory, 21 Riviera Boulevard, Lake Havasu City, Arizona, 86403. The service will also be live-streamed at https://lietz-frazefuneralhome.com/obituaries/arthur- means for those who cannot attend in person. We invite you to share your memories and photos of Arthur on the memorial page, to help keep his spirit alive and to cherish the remarkable journey of a man who truly meant so much to us all.
