Former Pacific Palisades resident Fred Stahl died September 1 in Ruidoso, New Mexico. The son of the late Eric and Laverne Stahl, he was born in Los Angeles and raised in the Palisades. His father was the ranger in charge at Will Rogers State Historic Park for 10 years. Stahl was in the first class (1964) to go through three years at Palisades High School and was very involved in the community. He owned Stahl Construction, which began in Santa Monica and moved with him when he relocated his family to Ruidoso in 1990. He worked for the city and county of Ruidoso and up until the time of his death was doing construction there. He was a gifted and talented designer with great vision in his work. At the time of his death he was in the process of completing a beautiful home for his wife on a mountain top in Ruidoso. Stahl is survived by his wife of 29 years, Mary Davis; son Kenny; daughter Wendi Rushing (husband Grady); grandchildren Alexis and Kyle Rushing; brother Glen; and many family and friends living in Ruidoso and California. The family suggests donations be made to U-Turn for Christ, a California-based organization (803) 951-2197.
