Alfred N Lublin

    Alfred N Lublin, age 76, of Fruitland, died on January 12, 2026, at his home.
    Alfred was born on June 11, 1949, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Ronald and Fanny Mary Chatwin Lublin. While attending West High School, he met Sandra Jansen and they later married. Together they attended Salt Lake Community College. Their instructor was also a Justice of the Peace and married them. 
    Alfred grew up in a rough life, but worked hard to make something of himself. Once he met Sandra, he changed his ways for her, and his mother was very grateful. Alfred worked in the automotive industry, working on cars for over 50 years, and painting cars for about 30 of those years. 
    With Sandra, Alfred raised two sons, Tory and Shane. He taught them to work hard and how to not let people take advantage of them. The family often worked on cars together. Everything they did was as a family: gardening, raising animals, hunting, fishing, and camping. Alfred often spent endless hours rowing a rubber raft, with group after group of extended family members. Then he would take them on long hikes. Doing this at family events earned him the reputation as “The Pied Piper.”
    Alfred will be remembered for being a strong and tuff man, but also a charming and fun character that was always had the ability to make people laugh. 
    Alfred is survived by his wife, Sandra, his sons, Tory Jansen (Colleen) Lublin and Shane Alfred (Maria) Lublin; 6 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren; siblings, Ronald Lublin, Jr., and Anita Haddan; siblings-in-law, Rebecca Bishop Jansen, Kirsten Jansen, and Mark R Jansen. 
    He was preceded in death by his parents, Ronald and Fanny, his parents-in-law, Reed C and Betty Dykes Jansen, siblings-in-law Karen Lynn Johnson and Christopher Michael Jansen. 
    Per Alfred’s wishes, he will be cremated, and a memorial service will be held at a later date.
