St. George, UT - Beloved husband, father, grandpa, great-grandpa, friend and hunting buddy. Everybody knew him as a story-teller extraordinaire. He was an example and mentor to many regarding the things we needed to know on our journey through life. He enjoyed a long life with his beautiful sweetheart, bride and soulmate. They married in the LDS Manti Temple, which is one of their most precious examples they gave us. Regardless of who he saw, where he went, dad would have a story to compliment the situation and bring a smile or laugh. He taught us what it meant to have values, and standing behind them as well as the importance of hard work. He appreciated God's gifts of nature and encouraged us to see the beauty in them also.
