Thomas Ball, 42 Thomas Eric Ball, 42, of Apache Junction, passed away suddenly on July 28 in a swimming accident at Saguaro Lake. Mr. Ball was born Sept. 14, 1964 in Ohio, the son of L.D. Ball and Sandra B. MacPherson. He was a real "go get "em" kind of person. He was an iron worker for Pro Steele. He was not one to sit still, which sometimes got him into trouble. As he grew up he always had a "no fear" attitude. He loved horses and the outdoors and was a true cowboy all the way down to his well worn, scuffed cowboy boots that only got more comfortable with age. Three of his most prized achievements that always brought a twinkle to his eyes are his children. His beautiful bright-eyed daughter, Sheyenne Kelly Ball, and his ever so handsome twin sons, Skylar L.D. Ball and Shane Eric Ball. Mr. Ball is survived by his fiancée, Debby Tibbs and her sons, Carlin and Ethan; his parents, L.D. Ball and Sandra B. MacPherson; two sisters, Lara (Sean) Welty of Ohio and Sarah MacPherson of Phoenix; a brother, Raymond (Christine) Ball; three nieces, Hayley Welty, Sahvanna MacPherson, Jaslon Brisboy; two nephews, Broderick and Brent Ball. Memorial services will be held 5 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 7 at Red Mountain Park on Brown Road, east of Power Road. Apache Junction Mortuary handled arrangements.
