Jack Holtman, age 70, of Holladay, Utah, passed away October 25, 2000 after a battle with cancer. He will be missed by countless family members and friends who loved and respected him because of the honor, generosity and humor with which he lived his life. He made the world a better place.
Jack was born April 26, 1930 in Park City, Utah to Arthur Harry and Myrtle Peterson Holtman. He married Hazel Enniss March 16, 1950. They celebrated 50 years of happy marriage this spring.
During the Korean Conflict, Jack served his country in the Marine Corps (from 1951 to 1953). He was stationed in California and Hawaii. He returned home to work in the family business, Wasatch Metal, Inc., and in time became owner of it. He was a successful businessman and was involved in other business ventures throughout his life. Business associates and employees became his friends. He was known for the fairness and honesty with which he conducted his business affairs. Jack's word was his bond. He was a member of the LDS Church.
Jack lived his life with dignity and enjoyed many things but golf was a passion. He belonged to Willow Creek and Bloomington Country Clubs where he enjoyed golf and his friends.
He is survived by his wife, whose loving care made the trial and pain of his last few months so much easier, and two sons Von Edward and David Alan (His wife Kelly), both of Salt Lake City. Three grandchildren blessed his life, Kelley, Alina, and Nathan. These family members are the real treasures and legacy of Jack's life. He is also survived by a sister, Dorothy Jackson of Simi Valley, California; a sister-in-law, Myrle Holtman of Holladay; a brother, Scott Holtman (Betty) of Kearns; a brother, William B. Holtman (Joan) of Murray; and a sister, Peggy Ellis of Salt Lake City. A large extended family will also hold his memory gratefully in their hearts. He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Robert A. Holtman.
Special appreciation is expressed by the family to the many who brought love, support and service during Jack's illness. Devoted family members, who always cared; those who shouldered the running of his business; friends and family, who traveled long distances to show their concern; special endowments of friendship and support from his golf buddies; the comfort of knowing that Hospice staff was always on call; all these things, and many more, meant so much and brought comfort and a feeling of gratitude.
