Jay Clyde Boggess
"Don't take any wooden nickels"
Jay Clyde Boggess passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family on Tuesday, November 28, 2017 in Midvale Utah. He was born March 24, 1939 in Murray, Utah to Clyde Vernon and Merna Mae Dillon Boggess.
Jay was a kind-hearted man who loved his family dearly and his sweetheart Bonnie even more so. He worked at Kennecott Copper Mine for 44 years where he proudly retired from in 2001. He was an active member of the LDS church and served a temple mission for a year and a half in the Jordan River Temple. He also served at the Bishop Store Warehouse for two years.
Jay loved working in his yard where he planted beautiful flowers in the summer and decorated for all of the holidays for his wife and grandkids. He always had his sense of humor going even up to the end of his days. He was always trying to find a way to make everyone around him smile either through his jokes or funny noises. Jay loved having long talks with his daughters, sons-in-law, and grandkids.
Survived by daughters Robyn Mondragon (Scott), Shelly Kemp (Roger), Kerrie Heinecke (Rick), Jill Shipley (Wayne), 9 grandchildren, 16 great grand children, 1 great-great grand child, and brothers Eddie (Linda) and Mike (Jan).
Preceded in death by wife Bonnie, parents, and daughters Jaylynne and Jeannine, and son in law JT Timothy.
