Earl Sundell-Bahrd of Dewey, Arizona, passed from this life on April
18, 2018. Earl was born in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, on Jan. 17,
1935, to Pedro Matthias and Eva Vivian Sundell-Bahrd.

Earl was a loving husband to Barbara (Ward); a devoted father to
Clayton Niles (Laura), Dale Blair (Josie), Joel Bradley (Julie),
Stephanie Pamelia (John); and Barbara’s children, Robbi Holt-Harris,
Michael Holt, and Tammara Jobes (Darrell). He was grandfather to 15
children and great-grandfather to 14.

Earl loved his sisters, Darlene Wells, Teresa Olkowski (Joe),
Cheryl, and his brother, Murray (Judy). He always referred to Murray
as his “4 o’clock buddy.” He leaves many nieces, nephews and
friends.

Earl was 14 when his love of the sea and repairing diesel equipment
became apparent. He worked in that industry for the next 50 years,
retiring in 2000 from REC as Equipment Superintendent. Barbara and
he traveled the world, mostly cruising, but loved RV’ing, saying
Alaska was their favorite along with Washington, D.C., as he had
become a citizen in 1972. He loved old cars, owning several, loving
his ’64 Olds the best.

A celebration of his life will be held June 23, 2018, with a
scattering of his ashes in his beloved ocean and a reception at his
daughter’s home in Oceanside, California.
