Hurricane, UT. Albert Doyle Sivils Sr. 88, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his loving family, on December 23, 2024. He was born on April 9, 1936, in Coleman, Alabama to Franklin and Bertha Sivils. He married Karen Dutton on October 31,1958 in Las Vegas, Nevada. After welcoming their 3 children, they later separated and remarried on March 11,1989 in Kanab, UT. They were sealed for all time and eternity in the St. George LDS Temple on June 24, 2000. Together they lived in Kanab, Mesquite, Cannonville, and Centerfield. They purchased their forever home in1995 and planted roots in Hurricane. During the summer months you could find him sitting in his fruit stand welcoming and teasing tourists from all over the world. After serving his country in the Korean War, Al was a life-long truck driver. He enjoyed his time and adventures on the road and was known as “Joker” on the radio. He hauled everything from fuel, crude oil, rock, and even a little moonshine. Which fit him perfectly! No matter how many visits or stays in the hospital he had, he was always teasing hospital staff and telling his not so appropriate jokes. He loved his Denver Broncos and loved when his grandchildren would come watch the games with him. His memory will lovingly be survived by his wife Karen Dutton Sivils, children Peggy Lemaire of Louisiana, Albert Jr (Melonie) Sivils of LaVerkin, UT., Rita Lee of Hurricane, UT., and Beatrice “Alice” Bagley of Richfield, UT., 9 grandchildren, 15 great- grandchildren, and 4 great-great grandchildren, with one more coming May 2025. He was preceded in death by his parents and siblings. The family would like to deeply thank Karen Fullmer, Becky Hopkinson and her team at Zion’s Way Home Health and Hospice for their compassionate services.
