Revell worked for the City of Mesa in the electrical department for 38 years as a lineman and as the supervisor of the underground electrical system for downtown Mesa.
After retiring Revell loved to travel with his wife. They made several trips in their motorhome across the United States, studying American history and the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, from which they gained great enjoyment. They also enjoyed hiking the Grand Canyon rim to rim and exploring other trails. Revell was a wonderful photographer and artist using crayons or wood as his favored materials. He carved many horses by hand and loved to give them to his grandchildren until he could no longer carve.
If you ever met Revell you will never forget being asked, “Where are you going?”
