Val Frank Siebal

It is with great sadness we announce that Val F. Siebal, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, died peacefully at home in January 2025, surrounded by his loved ones. Val was the oldest of six children, born in 1948 to Val and Ruth Siebal. A true Renaissance man with great curiosity and a wide range of  interests in travel, arts, music and movement (Tai Chi and dancing), he led a very blessed and beautiful life. Happily married to his first wife, Sharron (Smith) for over 40 years, they have two beautiful daughters, Danielle (Mitch) and Michelle (Nick), and two wonderful grandchildren, Allison and Matthew. 

After Sharron’s death, Val was blessed, again, meeting and marrying Chris Reeg, who brought great joy and love to this part of his life. She also brought two beautiful daughters (Regina and Stephanie) and their families to add to the Siebal clan. Their past five years have been a whirlwind of travel adventures, activity and growth and they have been so loving and happy in their short time together. 

Val was professionally very successful throughout his extensive career and touched many lives in State and County service. Over the course of 40+ years, he rose through the ranks to retire as a Chief Deputy Director at CalEPA’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment and as the Director of Sacramento County’s Environment Management Department, leaving behind a legacy of professionalism and hard work.

Val was a devoted family man, community member, and friend and he will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. He was a man of great faith and an active member of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church and community. He also contributed time and energy to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), actively lobbying issues that impacted families dealing with diabetes as a health issue.

He is survived by his beloved wife and his family; his siblings and their families and many cherished longtime friends. He brought love, laughter, and loyalty wherever he went, and his spirit will continue to inspire those who had the privilege of being part of his life.

There will be a celebration of life in Val’s honor at Sacred Heart Catholic Church on Tuesday, February 4, 2025 at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to the ALS Association, JDRF, the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, Snowline Health, or a charity of your choice.
