Vearl served as a Marine Police Officer while he served in the United States Marine Corp. He was proud of his service to our country and has a brick at the Loveland Veterans Park. He loved the outdoors and enjoyed fishing and gardening. At home, Vearl loved cooking, watching tv and relaxing in his recliner. He will be remembered as being strong-willed and always willing to help. He was outgoing, loved being around people, was a hard worker and never gave up no matter how hard things were. He will be greatly missed.
