When Tom returned home from the Marines, he married Ruth Bertroch and had one child, Tim. Tom and Ruth later divorced.

Tom loved the outdoors and liked to spend time with family picnicking and fishing in the mountains. One of his favorite places was Coffee Pot Springs above Sweetwater in Eagle County.

Terrial Macarthur Hinkle

Terrial MacArthur Hinkle, born September 30, 1943, in Fairfax, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully at home in Grand Junction, Colorado, on July 19, 2026. In the days before his passing, he was surrounded by the love of his family, which was exactly how he would have wanted it—close to the people he loved and probably with somebody listening to one more story.

Terrial joined the Navy during the Vietnam War in 1964, where he served for four years. After his military service, he worked a few different jobs before becoming a driller for Peabody in Hayden, Colorado. He later moved to Winnemucca, Nevada, in 1989, where he began drilling in the gold and silver mines. He retired in 2007 and spent hisretirement doing what he did best: enjoying time with his family and reminding everyone that he had already done the hard part. In 2019, Terrial moved to Grand Junction, Colorado, with his daughter Regina and her husband Jay Thompson.

Terrial was a funny man who loved to tell stories, and he never told them in a small way. His stories came with animation, detail, and enough personality to make even the simplest event sound like a legendary adventure. He was the kind of man who could make you laugh, shake your head, and ask, “Now, did that really happen?” He showed his love quietly—through his strong work ethic, his willingness to help, and by always showing up for the people he loved, even when it was hard.

He enjoyed camping, fishing, and golfing, though anyone who knew him understood that the real sport was keeping up with him and his stories. Above all, he loved his family.

Terrial is survived by his son David Hinkle and his wife Jaime of Ely, Nevada; daughter Regina and her husband Jay Thompson of Grand Junction, Colorado; and son Chad Hinkle of Elko, Nevada. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Allen Hinkle, Jaylen Hinkle, Dominique Turner, Theresa Thompson, Delanie Thompson, Hailey Card, and Caleb Hinkle, as well as countless great-grandchildren.

He is also survived by his brothers, Edwin Hinkle and Weldon Hinkle, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Lee Hinkle and Sylvia Hinkle, along with many brothers and sisters.

A service honoring Terrial’s life will be held at the Veterans Cemetery in Grand Junction, Colorado, on August 7, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. All are welcome to attend and celebrate the life of a beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend.

His stories, his humor, his hard work, and the quiet ways he showed his love will remain in the hearts of all who knew him—and in a few cases, in the middle of a story that started with, “Now listen, because this is the good part.”

Jim Adamson

Jim Adamson, 70, passed away after a courageous battle with cancer on July 9th, 2026 in Grand Junction, CO. He was born on February 4th, 1954 in Fruita, CO. Jim was raised on the family farm and was a 1974 graduate of Fruita Monument High School. He enlisted in the US Army in the late 1970’s as a proud infantryman, serving for 10 years, mostly in Korea along the DMZ, achieving the rank of Sergeant. Upon his release from active duty, Jim began a fulfilling 25 year career (ret.) with the Grand Junction VA hospital.

Jim loved western Colorado. He enjoyed spending his time backpacking and exploring the wilderness areas surrounding the Grand Valley. Jim also enjoyed landscape photography, spending time with his friends, reading books about WWII, and refurbishing old bicycles for back-country use. He would disappear for a few days, only to return with harrowing stories and photos of outdoor adventures on the Grand Mesa or some faraway canyon. Jim also knew every stretch of railroad track in western Colorado and eastern Utah, as he was a locomotive enthusiast. One of Jim’s favorite activities, as he got older, was walking along the track with his sister, Lana, at sunrise and sunset. Jim will be remembered by those who knew him best as an incredibly strong, fearless, and independent man with a tremendous smile that lit up when he greeted you. He will be dearly missed by all who loved him.

Jim was a lifelong bachelor who never married or had children. He is preceded in death by his parents, Charles “Bud” and Mary Adamson (Duran), and his eldest sister, Yvonne Shreeves. He is survived by his eldest brother, Charles Adamson, and his youngest sister, Lana Vigil, both of Fruita, CO. Jim is also survived by nieces and nephews from Colorado and California.

Terry Jarbo

Terry Loran Jarbo’s life was marked by faith, service, and love for people. Born on January 17, 1942, in Greybull, Wyoming, Terry grew up in the Pacific Northwest and joined the Army in 1961. While stationed in Germany in 1963, he came to know Christ through the Navigators, a decision that shaped his life and guided more than six decades of ministry and love for Jesus.

In 1966, Terry met Carol Ann Booze in North Platte, Nebraska, beginning a love story and ministry partnership that lasted nearly 60 years. They married on May 28, 1967, and followed God’s calling into rural ministry. After Terry graduated from Multnomah Bible School in 1971, he and Carol served churches and communities across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nebraska, and Colorado through pastoral ministry, campus ministry, Bible camps, vacation Bible schools, and countless acts of quiet service.

Terry and Carol’s family was deeply woven into their ministry. Their children, Jeremy, Heather, Joshua, and Jared grew up in rural communities attending summer bible camps and lived with a steady example of parents who loved Jesus. The family also endured deep sorrow with the loss of their oldest son, Jeremy, in 1990, a heartbreak that remained part of their story.

In 2005, Terry and Carol made their home in Cedaredge, Colorado, where they opened Creekside Bed and Breakfast and continued welcoming people and sharing Jesus until 2023. Terry also served as a driver for All Points Transit and as Chaplain at Horizons Care Center. He enjoyed writing, including publishing the children’s book Uphill Skis, and found joy in fishing, hunting, reading, and time with loved ones.

Terry will be remembered as a devoted husband, loving father, loyal friend, and faithful follower of Jesus. His life reflected kindness, generosity, perseverance, and unwavering faith. He was preceded in death by his younger brother Richie, his parents Archie Long and Regina Jarbo, stepfather Gene Jarbo, and his beloved son Jeremy. Terry is survived by his wife Carol; children Heather (Gary) Almgren, grandkids Sydney and Silas; Josh (Amy) Jarbo and granddaughters Canyon and Hannah (Kyle) Flaherty Forrester; Jared (Lindsay) Jarbo and granddaughters Adiena and Auriella; sister Linda Jarbo Ward; brother David (Debbie) Jarbo.
