Art is survived by his wife of 34 years, Lydia Rea, along with his children and grandchildren.
He grew up, lived, and passed away in Sheridan, Colorado, and graduated from Sheridan High School in 1962. He served in Vietnam with the United States Army from 1968 to 1970.
Art worked for many years as the owner and operator of his own construction company, specializing in masonry. He was a true home improvement enthusiast. Together with Lydia, they designed and built the home they shared in Sheridan, Colorado.
He loved spending time in his workshop, fishing, and later in life creating his own unique artwork.
He will be deeply missed by family and friends.
