Virgil Benton Kilgore
December 12, 1924 - August 6, 2015
Virgil Benton Kilgore was born December 12, 1924, to Fay Kilgore and Emma Vay Armogost Kilgore in Rising City, Butler County, Nebraska. He was the second of six sons, Gene (formerly of Lincoln NE, deceased); Dean (Verdane) David City NE; Gary, Rising City, NE; twins, Wallace (Louanne) Rising City, NE, and Willis (Sally) Omaha, NE.
He married Doris Darlene Ruth (deceased) in Rising City, NE. They had three sons and one daughter: Benny Gene (Dr. Cheryl Duree) Grand Junction; Randy Reed (Cherryl) Colorado Springs, CO; D'Lane Kilgore, Crestone, CO; Kevin Carey (Roberta) Lakewood, CO. He and Doris later divorced.
He farmed on the family farm with his father until they lost their crops two successive years due to the drought. The family moved to Thornton, CO in 1955 where he worked delivering milk, owned a service station/auto mechanics shop, taught transmission repair at Matt's Auto School teaching students to re-build transmissions, some of them with limited vision. He worked at various transmission shops in the Denver area and Coors Brewing Co. in Golden, CO for 15 years as a UPL operator, retiring in 1990.
He married Sharon Johnson Beacham in Lakewood on January 18, 1969, who survives along with Sharon's two daughters, Tami (Bill) Shull and Connie (Conrad) Seiders. They resided in Littleton, East Denver, and Lakewood until 1995, when they moved to Grand Junction to be closer to Sharon's mother in failing years.
Virgil was always a farmer at heart and loved to tell stories of the good and bad times growing up on the farm and attending the country school in the small town of Rising City, NE.
He played football and basketball in high school and was an "A" student. He loved to play golf with his three sons or friends and took pride in his lawn and rose garden.
He is survived by 13 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
A funeral service will be held on Saturday, August 15, 2015, at Callahan-Edfast Mortuary at 1:00 p.m. Burial will be at Memorial Gardens Cemetery.
Memorial Contributions may be made to the Appleton Christian Church, 2510 I-70 Frontage Road, Grand Junction, CO 81505.
