Delbert Strunk passed away on Jan.,10th, 2024 at 85 years old. He was living with his wife, Pat, of 67 years in Issaquah, WA at a wonderful assisted living home, however, he always called Tucson his home.
Del was born on March 19, 1938 in Piqua, Ohio. When he was 3, his family was traveling through Arizona and got a flat tire. They decided they liked Arizona so much that they opted to move to Tucson. Del graduated in June, 1956 from Tucson High School and married his high school sweetheart, Patricia Ann Swartz on December 23 that same year. He served in the army for about a year and then returned home to his sweetie. In 1960 his first daughter, Teri (Bellevue, WA) was born followed by Denny (Tucson, AZ) in 1963 and Kay "Kayla" (Austin, TX) 1966. He is also survived by his beloved grandchildren Lillie and Hayden and grand “dog”, Bernie.
Del loved his family, his work, his church, his ministry in Young Life, his friends, his animals, Tucson and collecting stamps. During his final years he was very involved in Streams In The Desert Lutheran church, working on many projects and singing in the choir.
The family would like to thank all of the wonderful doctors at Valley Medical Center, Providence Hospice & Sunrise of Issaquah, for their care and compassion they showed our loved one in his final days.
