Ashley (daughter): He will be remembered for his joy of Mickey Mouse, unique collector’s items, Star Wars, Bird’s Nest and The Old Spaghetti Factory. I will miss my dad, and the conversations we had. I’ll miss his laugh, and his quirkiness. I will always hold our special memories close and dear. I love him, and always will.

Zackery (son): Dad, you were a man who stood for whatever it is you believed in, a man who, when faced with adversity, walked right through it. I will miss the metal detecting and the Indiana Jones adventures we went on. I will forever stand up for what I believe in, and I will make your last name one to be remembered. I love and miss you, dad, forever and always.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Rock Church on Friday June 14, 2024 from 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM, 11630 South 700 East, Draper, Utah 84020.
