Joseph Charles Kankelborg

Herriman-This morning we lost a great dad, husband, son, brother, grandfather and soon to be great grandfather.

Our dad fought a very tough battle with kidney and heart disease over the last month in ICU, only to return home and pass quietly after seeing friends and family.

Dad had many passions in life - where do I start?

He restored numerous hot rods and always seemed to make money when he sold them, even though Mom was always surprised. His last project was a 1967 Chevelle that he restored with his son-in-law James.

Games - whether at Lagoon (yes, he was the one that always won those huge stuffed animals every time), his new tablet (what a great Christmas gift) or 31.

Dad was up for Wendover every time someone mentioned it. Roulette or 21 were his games. He would say, "If you want a sure bet place $25.00 straight up on #32," although the real numbers were 19, 23 and 32. That was if you had enough money to hang in there. Remember the chili dogs!

For the last few years he had really gotten into golf. Golfing with his son, grandson and son-in-law was his best times lately. Golfing at Mt. View on Thursdays was an awaited pleasure in the week. He got his hole in one! Dad, you now have all the time to line up your putt.

Born to Charles and Rachel Kankelborg August 15, 1944. Married Sherry Boyer December 5, 1964. Just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.

Survived by Wife Sherry, Daughters Julie (Kevin) Mills, LeAnn (James) Mabey, Son Ryan (Jen) Kankelborg, Mother Rachel Kankelborg, Sister Nancy (Gerald) Barber and Brother Kim Kankelborg; 10 Grandchildren and 1 expected Great Grandchild; his favorite Uncle Tuby.

Preceded in death by Daughter DeAnn and Father Charlie Kankelborg.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, April 18, 2015 at 10:00 am  at Goff Mortuary, 8090 So. State.  Friends and family may visit on Friday evening from 6:00-8:00 pm and again on Saturday morning from 9:00-10:00 am prior to services. Interment will occur at West Jordan Cemetery following funeral services.

Since my dad really didn't like flowers an account has been set up at Mt. America Credit Union in his name.
