James Mattingly

James Thomas (Tom) Mattingly, Jr., 62, passed away Tuesday, Sept. 8th, 2015 with family by his side. Tom was born in Cumberland, MD and was owner of Mattingly Construction which in the early 80’s had heavy highway projects over most of the State of Maryland, ran three asphalt plants & a limestone quarry on Martin’s Mtn. In the mid 90’s his business ventures moved to Buckeye, Arizona where he developed and ran a sand & gravel operation. In his later years Tom worked less and concentrated on his family, especially his grandchildren. They were the treasures he enjoyed. Tom was an active member of Trinity Lutheran Church since residing in Arizona and prior to that he & his family were active members & founders of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Cumberland, MD. He is survived by his children, Kevin Mattingly (wife Heather); Julie Hiller (husband Dennis); sister Anne Louk (husband Dale & family); grandchildren, Taylor, Haleigh, Katelyn, Michael and Kylie. No one could have imagined that Tom would be called to God when we thought he had so much more love to give here on earth. But God had a bigger plan for him. He will be forever missed and loved by his family and friends. Memorial services will be held at 1:00 p.m., Monday, Sept. 14, 2015 at Trinity Lutheran Church, 830 E. Plaza Circle, Litchfield Park, AZ. Interment will be at 2:00 p.m. at Resthaven Park Cemetery in Glendale, AZ.
