"Killer"
George Byron Stark passed away at his home on March 9, 2004 at the age of 63 after a battle with liver and kidney failure.
He was born to Mildred Elvera Sacos Stark and George Edward Stark in Salt Lake City, Utah on March 13, 1940. At the time of his departing he was married to Carol Stark for the last 15 years.
He is survived by his wife, Carol; daughters Cheri (Kyle), Robyn (Richard), Michelle, Holli, Cody (James), Kelly, Kim, sons Peter and Dick, grandchildren Jeremy, Martin, Sarah and Michael, sisters Deanna (Jerry) Dewsnup and Susan (Ned) Fox and many nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by parents and a brother Kevin.
"Killer" as he was known to everyone, was a legend and was one of a kind. There will never be another "Killer". He was a kind, thoughtful, honest and caring person to the end. He loved his family and friends and was always there for anyone who needed him.
He worked at Kennecott Copper Mines from 1958 to 1960. Then he went to work for the Third District State Courts for the next 38 years and became their Chief Deputy for the Criminal Division. "Killer" did far more than an outstanding job for the courts and always went the extra mile for anyone he worked with or came in contact with through his job. Upon his retirement in 1998 he cast a huge loss in the legal system.
Hunting and fishing were a big part of his life. He taught fly fishing, casting and fly tying at the University of Utah of several years in his earlier days. He tied flies for stores of the past such as Allied and Wolf's and of course his many friends. He had a cabin in Beaver, Utah where he and his wife spent years of hunting and fishing and hanging out with many friends. He loved writing poetry and was very good at it. He was an outstanding master of ceremonies and speaker and of course a great sense of humor. He loved all sports and could tell you anything about a player or team and loved having parties and those football games were a great excuse for having another party.
Words cannot express how much he will be missed.
A special thanks goes out to Hospice of Utah for their extraordinary effort and care.
Funeral services will be Saturday, March 13, 2004, 12 noon at Larkin Sunset Gardens, 1950 E. 10600 So., Sandy, UT. Friends may call one hour before services.
