Walter Wesley Coughran, Sr. died June 21 at his home in Congress, Ariz. He was born Dec. 17, 1912 in Skull Valley, Ariz., to lifelong Yavapai county residents and Arizona natives Pearl Marie Roberts and James Wiley Coughran, a second generation Arizonan.

Walter grew up in an Arizona Pioneer family and then worked for Yavapai County Department of Transportation until his retirement in 1975. He became a rancher and heavy equipment operator in Skull Valley for many years before relocating to Congress, where he resided until his death in June. Walter spent his free time hunting and fishing throughout Arizona. His passion was gardening, and "grandpa" was always ready to share the wonderful vegetables from his garden.

Walter is survived by his beloved sister Hulda Christopherson, son Walter Coughran, Jr, grandson Jeffrey Coughran, granddaughter Tina (Coughran) Landess Petrich, and two great-grandchildren Julianne and Jacqueline Landess Petrich. Walter was a devoted caregiver to his pets and is also survived by Princess.

Grandpa Walt will be truly missed by anyone who knew him.

A private memorial service will take place at a later date.
