Ivan C. Walz II passed away on
July 7, 2011 at Vega Reservoir in
Collbran, CO. He was 67 years
old.
Ivan was born in Grand Junction,
CO to Ivan Walz and Ella
Armstrong-Walz on November 5,
1943. He spent his entire life in
the valley and loved everything
that it had to offer. His favorite
thing to do outdoors was going fishing. Ivan also collected coins and
had a vast collection of knives that he was very fond of.
Growing up in Grand Junction, Ivan focused a lot on his family.
He worked hard on the family's ranch and was always supportive to
his parents and siblings. Throughout the 80's and 90's Ivan became
both of his parent's primary caretaker. He happily provided them
with everything they needed while their health was simultaneously
declining for several years. He brought them comfort that could not
be substituted by anyone else, and his family is very appreciative for
all of his love and hard work. He will be sorely missed.
Ivan is preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Dallas
Garner. He is survived by two brothers, Fred Walz of Montrose, CO,
and Jim Walz of Grand Junction, CO., and one sister, Phyllis Sturn
of Grand Junction, CO; as well as seven nieces and five nephews.
A visitation will be held on Thursday, July 14, 2011 from 6 - 8:00
p.m. at Martin Mortuary. The funeral service will be held on Friday,
July 15th, 2011 at Martin Mortuary at 10:00 a.m. with a graveside
service to follow at Orchard Mesa Cemetery. A BBQ reception will
be held that afternoon at Jim Walz's home in Orchard Mesa.
