Arthur Clovis Vialpando
February 26, 1959 — August 28, 2015
Our courageous son, brother, father, grandfather passed away on August 28, 2015.
Art was born to Clovis and Patricia Vialpando on February 26, 1959. Being a man of a “few words†he listened more than he spoke, however, he spoke volumes with his heart and soul by welcoming family and friends into his home, to anyone who needed a place to stay, a bite to eat, a cold drink or a mechanic to help fix his or her car. When you were at “Art’s Place,†you knew you were home, a place where “everyone knows your name,†a place where you could listen to Rock or Country music 24/7 and place where you could catch a whole season of Bronco-mania. Yes, Art was a Bronco fan through and through. Whether the Broncos were winning or losing, Art was there to support them all the way, which was just one sign of how Art was more than just a fair-weather fan or friend; Art was in it for the “whole game.†Art didn’t just make friends; he made friends for life! What you saw in Art, is what you got: a quiet, gentle, peaceful, humble soul who made room for you there in the “Innâ€.
In addition to having a big heart, Art was also a mechanic, a handy man or “Mr. Fix it†who offered his skills wherever needed, there on the job or on the home-front…and we definitely cannot forget his other good qualities: He was also tall, dark and handsome, just ask his mom, dad and all who knew him.
Art is survived by his mother, Patricia Vialpando; father, Clovis Vialpando; stepmom, Helen Vialpando; girlfriend, Naomi Halcomb; brother, Ken Vialpando; stepbrothers, Mike and Bill Griego; stepsister, Gayla Griego; son, Tyler Vialpando; grandson, Haden Baker; many uncles, aunts and cousins.
Viewing will be held at St. Marguerite Church, 15 S 7th St, Tooele, Utah on Friday, September 4, from 6-8pm with Prayer Service beginning at 7:00p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, September 5, at 10:00a.m., followed by Interment at Tooele City Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Art’s name to the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
