Abel was born Aug. 17, 1953, in Kanab, Utah, to Abe and Rebecca Begay, the sixth of 11 siblings. His maternal clan is Kinyaa’áanii (Towering House) and paternal clan is Tódich’ii’nii (Bitter Water). He died Feb. 26, 2016, in Page.
Abel is survived by his companion, Candice of Mayer, Ariz.; son, Adel Bahe Begay Lopez (Lorena); and granddaughter, Callia of Flagstaff; siblings, Arlene Salazar (Eugene) of Flagstaff, Alberta Sanchez (Carlos) of Flagstaff, Louis Begay (Cathy) of Clarksville, Ky., and Leonard Begay of Page, Ameretta Yazzie (Norman) of Flagstaff, Albert Begay of Page, Bernda Tsinnijinnie (Clyde) of Page, Verda Riddle of Page, and Abe Jr., who died as an infant in Kanab; and stepbrothers, Raymond A.

Abel worked in Kayenta at the Black Mesa Coal Mine, at Seaward Construction on power lines, and many other construction businesses. He loved the outdoors, fishing, hunting, camping, and traveling. He also enjoyed baking, especially yeast bread, which he shared with the neighbors up and around his neighborhood. He will be missed, but we know he is with Mom and Dad and will be watching over us still. He leaves us with mountains of memories and much love.
Arrangements were made with Mosdell Mortuary of Kanab, Utah.
