Our Dad, Allen Keith Sudweeks, age 65 passed away at his home in Peoria Arizona. Allen was born July 2, 1958 to Calvin Keith Sudweeks and Virginia Barton Sudweeks. He was the little brother to Barbara and big brother to Linda and Catherine.
Allen attended Dilworth Elementary School, Clayton Middle School and Highland High School where he excelled in hockey and a plethora of pranks. After graduating, Allen served an LDS mission in the Georgia Atlanta and Ventura California mission.
In 1983, Allen married Marilyn (later divorced) and became a Dad to three little brown haired girls named Amy, Sarah and Becci. Adam joined the family in December of that same year.
In 2004, Allen married Heather (later divorced) and he became a Dad to a sweet little girl named Tola.
Allen loved the outdoors and was an avid water skier. Growing up, we were all dragged out on the boat and, though he tried to teach us, none of us ever picked up the talent. Sorry Dad!
Allen was incredibly talented when it came to building things. He built most of his homes and many for other people as a general contractor. He showed us the importance of hard work.
Allen is survived by his kids Amy (Darren) Ogden, Sarah (Brian) Schaaf, Becci (Josh) Steele, Adam (Michelle) Sudweeks and Tola Scotford. Survived by grandkids Bradley (Nichole), Brayden (Shirsten), Bryson, Avery, Emily, Quinn, Oakley, Makenna, and Declan and great grandkids Axell, Beckem and Hazel. Preceded in death by both Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and many well loved and very well fed pets. He is survived by sisters Barbara, Linda and Catherine, Brother In Law Larry, Aunts Shirley, Carolyn, Barbara Jane, Barbara Sue and Uncles Doug and Dean. Also survived by nieces and nephews and many cousins. He was lifelong friends (and we loved hearing all the stories) with Jeff Judkins, Scott Bult, Scott Tisor and Cousins Doug Cox and Russell, Kent and Richard Barton. Dad was blessed with so many kind neighbors and we are so thankful to Lee, Helen, George, Julian, Bill, Judy, Wes and Carol for the friendships they shared.
According to our Dads wishes, he was cremated and we will be spreading his ashes in Lake Powell as a family. Dad didn't want a funeral service but he didn't say anything about a celebration of life so our plan is to have one next year. Please email memories of Dad (and to be updated on the celebration of life) to [email protected]
Dad, I am so thankful for second chances and for all of the phone calls. I'm so glad you were able to hang out with my kids and the grands, I will hold those memories close to my heart. Thank you for your patience when trying to explain math to me (I STILL don't get it- ha!) and for being the non- yelling parent when I learned how to drive a stick in the Rabbit. I will always think of you when I watch Hallmark movies, eat at Ho Ho and see a nearly empty bottle of water. I loved that you were so eager to build things for Avery's room, I just wish you would have had more time. I hope I'll always make you proud. I love you! -Amy (your favorite. You never said I wasn't...)
Hi Dad, thanks for never fainting all of the times you had to take me to get stitches. Thanks for teaching me to love hockey, that John Wayne was a better cowboy than Clint Eastwood and to always turn off the light when I leave the room. I am so thankful that you could come with us to Florida last year and cheer me on during my races! It meant the world to me to have you be there! I am so thankful for our Saturday phone calls and I miss them so much! Whenever I see orange sticks (gag) or cordial cherries (double gag) I will always think of you. I am glad that Emily got to meet her Grandpa and that we got to spend as much time together as we did, though it will never feel like it was enough. Give Blaze and Chico the biggest hugs and know that Panda has a great home here with us. "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my Dad you will be." Love, Sarah (In all honesty, I'm certain I was the very most favorite.)
Dad, thank you for teaching me how to work hard. I'll always wish we'd been able to get you to Alaska and that I'd been able to hug you one last time. I'll never hear The Judd's or Air Supply and not think of you. I hope you know how loved you are! Please give my babies a million hugs and kisses and give Blaze all the treats from me. I love you and will miss you so much! - Becci (your favorite, probably)
Hey Dad, I'm a lot like you in times like these where words are hard to come by, and even harder to say. The last few years I've gotten to see how much I'm like you! From the sound we make when we breathe, to the way we hold the steering wheel when we drive. The way we touch our face and chin when we watch football or hockey, to our taste in food (egg nog, orange sticks, and cordial cherries, yum!) Dad, I'm so glad I'm like you, I'm proud and honored to be like you in the ways I am. I wish I was more like you in many ways that I'm not. Dad, I heard countless times, especially over the last few years you say "I'm proud of you", and I can't tell you how much that meant and still means to me today. I'm sorry that I never expressed how deeply proud of you I am, how proud I am to be your son, and how I stand taller knowing you are my dad. It was foolish of me to not say that when you were here, I guess it felt weird for a son to say that to his father, but the second I found out you were gone, I wished I could have said that to you just once. Well, here goes. I am PROUD of you dad, I've ALWAYS been proud of you, I've always been proud to be your son, and my daughters and son will know you and will forever be proud to be your grandkids. I love you so much dad, I feel you every time I hear your songs come on the radio, if that's you telling me you're near me, I absolutely love it! And, if that's you, then do me a favor and tell me the next winning Powerball numbers! Love you with all of my heart, your undisputed favorite son, Adam
Dad, words alone cannot describe how much you mean to me. Thank you for being the father I needed and wanted in life. I could have never asked for a more loving, generous, and caring dad than you. I am so thankful that I was brought into your life and got to spend 20 beautiful years growing with you. You've taught me so much from changing the oil in my car, laying tile flooring, being generous, putting others first, and the list goes on. I am so thankful for the mini road trips we'd take together laughing, talking, and sharing our cheesiest jokes. It is so hard that you are not just a phone call or 5 minute drive away but I have all these beautiful memories we've created to cherish and hold close. I am so thankful and proud that I also got to call you my dad. I love you and I miss you dearly. - Tola
Dad, we will always think of you when we are "Taking the Long Way Home", when we "Turn The Page", board the "Crazy Train", or "Leave On A Jet Plane." We love you, Dad!
