Eugene Paul Cunningham, 92, passed away on Jan. 20, 2021 in Kingman,
Arizona where he owned and operated Cunningham Construction located in
Golden Valley prior to his retirement. Born Oct. 17, 1928 in Homewood,
Illinois to Joseph and Elizabeth Cunningham, he was the fifth of seven
children.

He married Shirley Stearman in early December 1947. Their love of the
western states brought them to Kingman in July 1964 where his work as
a backhoe operator and former roofer expanded into Cunningham
Construction. He also had a dealership for Cedar Log Homes and
constructed several custom homes in the Hualapai Mountains and
throughout Mohave County. Gene was instrumental in the formation and
development of the Golden Valley Landowners Association and served as
president for several years.

His parents and all siblings preceded him in death. He is survived by
his wife, Shirley Cunningham; daughters Mikki (John) Sampson, Wendy
Cunningham, Jean (Gary) Dahl; son David (Cindy) Cunningham all of
Kingman, Arizona; and son Thomas Cunningham of Goodson, Missouri. He
is also survived by eight grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, and
two great-great-grandchildren.

His memory will be cherished. Private family services will be held on
a later date.
