'MUZZ'
7/12/43 ~ 6/2/03
Boyd Neal Hales of Centerville, Utah, age 59, passed away June 2, 2003 after a massive heart attack.
He was born on July 12, 1943 to Kenneth and Una Hales. He grew up in Redmond, Utah, and at age 15, he got on his horse to deliver a birthday cake to his forever sweetheart, Mavis Sorensen. They were married later on September 12, 1964 in the Manti LDS Temple. He graduated from Weber State College with a degree in Electrical Engineering. His expertise was vast- from developing sonar re-entry systems at ocean depths of 50,000 ft to configuring complex electronic systems. Eventually, he established AD Systems, a company through which he developed many types of advertising equipment for cable television where he worked until his death. His greatest passions in life were returning to his farm in Axtell, Utah, fishing with family and visiting with lifelong friends.
He is survived by his wife, and their five children: Staci (Gary) Gunnell, Centerville, UT; Christopher (April) Hales, Syracuse, UT; Shad (Amy) Hales, Las Vegas, NV; Tricia (Shawn) Kamp, Layton, UT and Lori Beth Hales, Bountiful, UT. He was the proud grandfather of Logan, Maren Elizabeth, Mason, Preston, Lauren, Ausha, Donell, Aubrie, Kolton, Brynlee, plus one due in November. Also survived by his three brothers, Pryce, Kay, and Don; and also by his sister, Bernice. Preceded in death by his parents.
As our husband, father, brother, grandfather, uncle and friend, we love him dearly and he will be genuinely missed. We want him home, but we know that he has a greater call. He will continue to be our strength and security.
