TIM MALAND

Retired Nevada casino and international hotel executive, Tim Maland, husband, father, brother and friend passed away May 17, 2019 at his Reno home after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Loved by all, he also left many broken hearts behind - but none bigger than those of his wife, Donna and son, Don. Born May 25, 1953, on Long Island, NY, Tim was the second youngest of Einar and Grace’s five children: Jane, Mark, Ellen, Tim and Don. Tim made his way west, graduating from Arizona State University with a degree in quantitative systems and later studied accounting becoming a CPA. He started his career working with Haskins and Sells ( now Deloitte) auditing hotels and casinos. During his career, which spanned more than three decades, Maland held top finance and gaming executive positions for leading hotel corporations including Caesars Entertainment Inc., Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide Inc., Ramada Inc. worldwide, development and operations to name a few. He was a former Director of the Nevada Commission on Tourism. Although he had a very successful career in hospitality, Tim always liked talking about the lessons he learned working on a pipeline in Alaska. Those that knew Tim also knew the lessons were more about character and hard work than any sort of mechanical skills. Tim was a learned man, loved to read, enjoyed music, spoke four languages, traveled the world, played sports, cherished his dogs and had a humbling spirit and humility that made everyone feel comfortable. He was a very generous man who touched many lives. His advice was genuine - Tim walked the talk. He cherished his wife and son and would rather do nothing more than spend time with them. Tim liked to win - but competing was more important. It was about the journey, not the destination. He gave his best with everything he did - but enjoyed more sharing his passions with others. He was an excellent skier and tennis player, not too shabby at golf and excelled at pickleball. You knew when Tim hollered the pickleball score followed with “It’s all tied up folks” he was ready to take the lead. He also enjoyed the solitude of hiking, snow shoeing and kayaking. Tim would brighten up any room. His presence was infectious and when “hubba hubba” emerged from his mouth, you knew good times were being had. Tim Maland left us much too soon, but the memories he created for so many will last an eternity. A Memorial service will be held at the St. John Greek Orthodox Church on Saturday June 15, at 4:00pm . In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Lustgarten Foundation Pancreatic Cancer Research.

Don was a life-long member of BPO Elks Lodge 1062 and was a past Exalted Ruler and lifetime organist. He was also a member of the National Association of Secondary School Principals, National Association of Elementary School Principals, a member of the Nevada State Education Association and an officer of the Secondary School Principals of Nevada.

After retiring from Nye County School District, he worked briefly for Ford Aerospace for no other reason than he always wanted to see "Secret Springs"in person. Don enjoyed all sports and was an accomplished fast pitch softball pitcher. He was a devoted fan of the Las Vegas Stars, 51s and Aviators, Nevada Wolf Pack, San Francisco Giants and 49ers, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and any football team where Jeff Horton was coaching. He was an avid horseman and enjoyed riding into the Reese River Valley or on Table Mountain. His mounts included Sooner, Apache, Jubilee, Duke and Cimarron.

Upon Cooey's retirement, the Logans purchased an RV and made frequent trips around the United States and Canada. Through all this and with all his activities, his favorite companions were always Cooey and Kojak. Don and Cooey purchased a home in Las Vegas in the early 1990's in order to be closer to their children and granddaughter Adrienne Catherine. He never missed any of Adrienne's softball, basketball and volleyball games when she was in high school or any other significant events in her life.

Don was a voracious reader and read thousands of books through the years and was especially fond of westerns. Throughout his life he remained not just aware of, but concerned about, all the students he had worked with during his career in education. He especially enjoyed those students with energy and enthusiasm and he was most proud of those who succeeded in spite of difficult circumstances.

Don was preceded in death by his wife Phyllis; his parents; his brothers William David and Richard Charles; Aunt Eveline Kervin; and cousin William Tomany. He is survived by his son Donald Robert (Jennifer); daughter Julie Anne (Rick); granddaughter Adrienne; sister-in-law Jane Logan; brother-in-law and sister-in-law Tim and Naoma Lydon; cousins Tasha Hall (Jerry) and Edward Tomany (Belva); niece Timaree Koscik (Tom); nephews Mark Lydon (Cheryl) Matthew Lydon (Tammy) and Mike Hall (Maria); and many great nieces and nephews.

The funeral will be held on Saturday, June 8th at 11:00 a.m. at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Tonopah followed by burial at Tonopah Cemetery and concluded with a reception at the Tonopah Convention Center. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the BPO Elks Tonopah Lodge #1062 Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 233 Tonopah, NV 89049. Beverly Powell, age 91, beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and greatgrandmother, passed away on May 23, 2019. Beverly was born in Ely, Nevada on April 12, 1928. Her family moved to Salt Lake City, Utah in the 1930's where she lived with her sister, Janet Hampton, who preceded her in death, and her brother, Jim Jensen of Orem, Utah. Beverly is preceded in death by her parents, James Clark Jensen and Maude Petersen Jensen.

Beverly married Norman Powell on May 1, 1947 in Salt Lake City, Utah. They moved their family to Las Vegas in 1955 where they owned a business together, Charleston T.V. & Appliance. Once Norm retired, they traveled the world for over 50 years. They had many great adventures, visiting every state and over 70 foreign countries.

Beverly was fun-loving and funny; she had a warm and wonderful personality. She hosted family dinners on Sundays, bridge parties and dinner parties for friends and neighbors during the week, and she spent many summers in Sequim, Washington and Park City, Utah. Beverly was a golfer, a reader, a cook and a seamstress, a crossword puzzler, and a great card player. Beverly's laughter and love will be missed by all who knew her.

Beverly is survived by her husband, Norman Powell, and her four children, Norman Craig (Angie) Powell, Pattie (Carey) Johnson, Pam Petrelli, Richard Powell, and her grandchildren, Shane (Toni) Petrelli, Stacy (Dave) Lax, Carrie (Dom) Robine, Kelly (Stav) Fischer, Kelsey Downs, and Tommy Downs.
