He enjoyed the outdoors, camping, fishing, hunting, horses and exploring. There wasn't a place he hadn't been or a road he hadn't been down in the whole state of Utah. He was a talented Jack of all trades but made his living as a heavy equipment mechanic.

He is survived by his daughter Wendy (Donald), son Alan D. and two grandchildren, KC and Dawn, mother, Vonda, sisters, Kathy, Charlotte, brother Lynn. He was preceded in death by his wife Janice, brother, Larry and father, Lavern.

His love and generosity will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Funeral Services will be held Sat., August 7, 2004, 10:30 a.m. at Jenkins-Soffe South Valley Mortuary, 1007 W. South Jordan Parkway (10550 So.), where friends and family may call Fri., August 6, 2004 from 6-8 p.m. and Sat. from 9-10 a.m. Interment West Jordan City Cemetery.
