Earl Peavler left this mortal existence to be with his beloved eternal companion, LuAnn, on Tuesday, January 23, 2018. Earl taught us a constant sermon by example of what it means to love and cherish a companion in marriage and to devote one's best effort to his children. That example of love and loyalty has inspired many. Earl was born August 23, 1929, in Crane, Oregon to Elijah and Ritta D Hoover Peavler. Earl described his family as "gypsies," as they traveled all around Idaho, Oregon, and Colorado following the harvest. He graduated from Star Valley High School in 1947. On September 9, 1949, Earl married LuAnn Clark in the Salt Lake Temple. They were seldom separated until LuAnn passed away on June 5, 2010. To this union, seven children were born. Earl started in the construction business in 1949 as a timber faller. He worked at all phases of logging and sawmilling for 13 years. In 1970 Earl established Peavler Enterprises, an excavating and construction business, which is still in operation today by his sons, known as Peavler's Mountain Star. Earl became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter'Day Saints at the age of 18, where he held many prominent positions, which included Bishop of the Afton 3rd Ward. He had a deep love for his savior and the people he served. Earl also served as scout master, a job that he loved, working with the youth. Every day of Earl's life was glorious to him. He embraced a life that was always full speed ahead. He immersed himself so completely in everything he did that he forgot until very late in life that it was necessary to slow down. He lived his life to the fullest- a life of devotion to God, family, and country. Earl Peavler was preceded in death by his wife, LuAnn Clark Peavler, an infant son and daughter, Cliff and Peggy, two sisters, Wilma and Barbara, and his parents. He is survived by his children, Clay Peavler, Deb Erickson (Chad), Rick "Emer" Peavler, Wade Peavler (Teresa), and Tom Peavler, 16 grandchildren, 45 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.
