He was a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving a mission in the North Western States Area including Washington, Oregon, Alaska and parts of Idaho from October 1958 through October 1960. Later in life Dad served as a temple worker, serving for over 20 years at the Jordan River temple. In addition, he attended the temple multiple times each month. He loved the temple and the work that is done there!

Dad attended BYU where he earned a Master's in Business and a 5-year Mechanical Engineering degree. He met Marsha Chloe Peterson during this time and was sealed to her in the Logan Temple on July 22, 1965.

Dad loved our family with a steadiness that we could rely on. If something needed to be done and Dad didn't know how to do it when he started, he had taught himself how to by the time the task was done. There may have been blood, there was probably motor oil or dirt and there was most definitely a break to eat peanut butter slathered on a pancake over the sink, but he got it done.

There were no strangers in Dad's life, he had a way of connecting with people in every-day life that allowed him to make friends in many situations.

Dad loved to learn, whether out of necessity in order to repair or build something, or out of desire to understand a concept better. He was often reading multiple books at the same time and always included those that would bring him closer to The Spirit.  Dad enjoyed gardening, spending hours each week tending to our large garden and could often be found brushing the dirt off a potato or carrot to eat it and keep on working.

To say that Dad had faith would not be enough: he had such unwavering faith that we couldn't help but know without a doubt that he knew Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and he pursued them every day and in every situation. He taught us by example to be unfailingly honest, willingly obedient, to work hard even when we didn't want to, and to keep trying even when it was hard.

We had the privilege of watching Dad love Mom entirely and with a steadiness that brought peace to our home and taught us the importance of cherishing and protecting the people that we love. There was never a doubt that Dad was dedicated to Mom and their goal to create a family that was righteous, hard-working and obedient. He showed us by example the importance of treating Mom with love and respect, and we knew that any less from their children would not be allowed.

Devoted Husband, Loving Father, The Great Brown Sack - We love you so much, it hurts us. OW!
