Arlin (Arlie) Glen Meeks of Colorado passed from this life on Dec. 23, 2021. Arlie was born on Feb. 3, 1962, in Evanston, the son of Jack L. and Esther Meeks. He was the youngest of five siblings.
Arlie grew up in Granger and graduated from Green River High School. Arlie loved the outdoors — hunting, fishing, camping, dirt bikes, and snow machining. Arlie seemed to always have a grin on his face, a joke to tell, or prank to plan. He was an incredible dirt bike/motocross rider. He had no fear and would give anything a whirl.
Arlie had a knack for writing poems that were both comical and heartfelt. The love he shared with his grandchildren, Camden and Beau, will always be cherished. It seemed like Arlie could always find a friend to talk to and/or spend some time with.
Arlie worked as an electrician throughout his adult life, traveling the United States always doing quality work. Arlie usually had a job waiting for him.
While working in the oilfields he met and later married Beverly Williams. To this union Casey, Terrance, and Paige were born. Arlie and Beverly later divorced.
Arlie was preceded in death by his father, Jack L. Meeks; and sister-in-law, Penny Meeks.
He is survived by his mother, Esther Meeks of Shoshone, Idaho; two sons, Casey (Nicole) Meeks of Thornton, Colorado, and Terrance Meeks of Longmont, Colorado; one daughter, Paige Meeks of Longmont, Colorado; as well as his two grandsons, Camden and Beau.
Also surviving Arlie are three brothers and one sister — Boyd Meeks, Ft. Bridger; Lloyd (Misty) Meeks, Rock Springs; Colleen (David) Conner, Dietrich, Idaho; and Jack A. (Robyn) Meeks, Mountain View — as well as several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and numerous cousins.
