Darrell Thompson

Age - 88

November 14, 2023

"Darrell Otis Thompson, 88 years old, of Murray, Utah, died at home from a heart attack on October 8th 2023. He was spending time in the garden, drinking his "whisky" (Pepsi), and talking about the Jazz preseason game set to play that evening. His loving heart gave out, quickly, and pain free, just the way he was hoping. To love someone so greatly, makes losing them just as hard. But with each great love comes a lifetime of memories and here are some of those. He was born in Windsor, Wisconsin in 1935 to Irene and Otis Thompson, who cherished their only son. His eldest sister, Donna [Chuck] Colby and younger sister Debbie [Terry] Nelson challenged Darrell to be the best version of himself through their example. The family lived together as a family until Darrell went to college at St. Olaf to study Norwegian history and literature and then Madison University to study criminal justice and play on every athletic team he could. Little did Darrell know he met the love of his life, Carol Sparks, in grade school while playing ball, in Deforest Wisconsin. After a long courtship, the two were excited to start their new lives together, and married in Madison WI in January of 1957. Like many relationships, theirs had ups and downs, but was without a doubt a true love story, leaning on each other for their strengths and building 70 years of memories. On October 8th of this year they were reunited again, something Darrell had been longing for 6 interminable years. Darrell and Carol couldn't wait to start a family of their own. The family moved around the country thanks to Darrell's job, placing them in Madison WI, Buffalo NY, St. Louis MO, and then finally to Sandy UT in 1983, where the family expanded. Their children, Brad [Mary] Thompson, Deanna (Kelly Anne) Thompson-Ward meant the world to them, and led a life that made Carol and Darrell proud. Darrell loved spending time with his children at family dinners, road trips, and completing home maintenance tasks. In Carol and Darrell's home hung a sign that read "My grandchildren are the reason I didn't kill my own children", though it was a joke, there was some truth behind those words. They lived for their grandchildren Erin and Leah, and they mastered the role of being the most loving and supportive grandparents around. Even when the girls\u0027 softball games drug them out into 100 degree weather or cold theater auditoriums. Darrell had a soft spot for his fury grand-dogs, Jax and Daysha, two Yorkies that were always thrilled to see Darrell arrive because that meant getting treats and pets. His grand puppy Boomer, an Australian Shepherd, took advantage of Darrell and his innate desire to throw a ball. Darrell worked for 36 years as a life insurance salesman for Lutheran Brotherhood. The story goes, he had schooling to become a border control officer and was packing the family up to move from Madison to Texas. When a Lutheran Brotherhood agent knocked on their front door and imprinted their hearts. That day, Darrell was sold (a life insurance policy) and a long time career in sales. He was able to flex his skills, practice his passion and frequently reminisced of all the people he met along the way. Speaking of people who imprinted in Darrell\u0027s life, it goes without mention that the kind people of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church did just that in the church softball team, choir, and congregation. There are so many people who were involved in Darrell Thompson's life in some way. He was a people-person; people gave him life, and a reason to shine. Darrell never ceased to be amazed at how civilization was changing (like people having different colored hair or how much traffic was in the valley) and always treated others with respect (no matter their background). His inquisitiveness kept him learning, growing, and connecting through a lifetime. Anyone who knew Darrell, knew how much he loved athletics. Going to school at St. Olaf college allowed him to be a triathlete, playing basketball, football, and baseball. Darrell dedicated his life to sport and believed that staying active could cure the worst ailes. He golfed (without using a golf cart) at courses all over the country, played softball even if it meant riding his motorcycle from St. Louis to Madison, and skied into his 80's (because it was free of course). Darrell will always be remembered for his salesman chipperness, generous hospitality, and the way that he always showed up for the people he loved. We'll always imagine hearing him say "Have you had your knuckle sandwich, from elbow bend?" one more time. We couldn't have asked for a better brother/father/grandpa/teammate/friend, and we will miss Darrell every day. His memory will live on in the hearts of all those who loved him, every Jazz game played, and with every "Sigurslid Special" or peanut butter toast made. He is survived by Deanna Thompson-Ward (Kelly Anne), Brad Thompson (Mary), Donna Colby, Debbie Nelson, Erin (Philipp Hoog) Thompson, Leah (Chris Landes) Thompson. Darrel was preceded in death by Carol Thompson [wife], Terry Nelson [brother-in-law], Chuck Colby [brother-in-law]. A celebration of life will be held Friday November 3rd at Zion Lutheran church ELCA, 1070 Foothill Dr. Salt Lake City Utah 84108, at 4:00pm, with dinner to follow. Darrell would love for your attendance, as seeing the people he cared about is what warmed his heart most. Donations to Zion Church, a charity of your choice, or simply spending time being active, in lieu of flowers, would be appreciated by Darrell and his family. Thank you. "Show more

Gary Daniels

Age - 89

November 8, 2023

Gary Grant Daniels, 89, passed away in Murray, Utah on 4 November 2023. Born in Mount Pleasant, UT, on 23 October 1934, Gary was the son of Charles Henry Daniels and Alice Henrietta Anderson. As a child, Gary described himself as a teaser and as a budding pugilist. A lifelong friend and Mt. Pleasant neighbor said that Gary "was a good fighter!" However, as he grew, those characteristics matured into an engaging sense of humor, a big, loving heart, and a willingness to pitch in and help wherever needed. His growing years were mostly divided between Mt. Pleasant, UT and Eureka, UT, as his father alternately worked in farming and mining. Gary graduated from Tintic High School in Eureka, and on Valentine's Day of the following year, he married his high school classmate, Nelda Childs. They soon had a son (Derek), but the marriage only lasted a few years. Gary was inducted into the US Army in 1957 and was selected for the President's Honor Guard, Company B, Third Infantry ("The Old Guard"), serving in Fort Myer Virginia. After his honorable discharge from active duty, he returned to Utah. On 3 February 1961, he was married in Salt Lake City, by a local judge, to Gwen Eileen Madill, whom he described as "the person who would be the love of my life. " He felt very blessed to "get two girls for the price of one," since marrying Gwen also made him father to her beautiful daughter, Cindy, whom he adopted as his own. His marriage to Gwen was later (1975) solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. In speaking about Gwen, Gary often quoted Ray Price in singing "You’re the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me. " The family was later completed when their "handsome son, Jeffrey" was born. Hard work was one of the enduring examples he set. Whether it was mining in Eureka, packing meat at Cudahy in North Salt Lake, mink ranching in Syracuse, or establishing his own long-haul trucking enterprise, he always did whatever was necessary to support his family. During his thirties, in order to build a more consistent career, he managed to earn a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Weber State College. Gradually, he carved out a career in accounting and human resources, ultimately retiring as the HR manager for the Salt Palace Convention Center. Gary loved the outdoors and athletics. In his younger years he participated in boxing, basketball, golf, racquetball, etc. In fact, he often lamented that he probably should have been a basketball coach. He and some other family members had Utah Jazz season seats when they played at the Salt Palace. He was a John Wayne fan, enjoyed westerns, and also had a great appreciation for the history and culture of western Native American tribes. He also enjoyed camping, fishing, and 4-wheeling trips. When he retired, he and two of his brothers bought a property in Scofield and built a nice cabin he called "the Villa. " The Villa was the site of many wonderful reunions for the extended families of Gary and his siblings. Above all, Gary loved, supported, and invested in his family. He and Gwen devoted endless service in caring for his aging parents and later helped however possible with each of his siblings and their spouses. Whenever invited, as long as circumstances allowed, they were always present at children's and grandchildren’s events. They always remembered special days like birthdays and anniversaries. And they tried to establish and support family traditions. Not long after moving to their home in Murray, Gary and Gwen became actively involved members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. For more than five decades, Gary served his Savior, the church and friends and neighbors in many callings. For example, in his fifties he was asked to serve as bishop, and had a heart attack one week later! The call was delayed until he recovered, and he then served faithfully for five and a half years. He was always regarded by the extended family as a spiritual leader and was often called upon to give blessings or serve in some other way. His departure leaves a void for those of us left behind, but we rejoice with him to be reunited with those who had gone ahead. He was predeceased by his parents and four of his siblings and some of their spouses: sister Betty (and husbands Bernard Burnside and Kent Broadhead); brother Mont; brother Dennis (and wife Milly); and sister Patsy Joan. He is survived by his wife, Gwen; his brother Michael (Karen); a sister-in-law Mary Jean (Mont); and three children. From his son Derek (Karen), he has five grandchildren: Joshua (Amy); Katherine; Emily (Jefferson) Van Bloem; Elisabeth (Carson) Berrett; Rachel (Brock) Bateman. And from his daughter Cindy, he has four grandchildren: Gregory Lawrence (Bethany); Aaron Lawrence (Amanda); Daniel Lawrence; Sean Lawrence (Megan). From his son Jeff (SueZett), he has five grandchildren: Roman (Melanie); Jaren; JoAnn (Tyler) Losee; Richard Blackhurst; Ronald Blackhurst (Jori). Gary’s growing posterity now includes 23 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren. Memorial services will be held at Millcreek Stake on Saturday, 11 November 2023. The address is 4220 S Jeannine Dr, Millcreek, UT. The viewing will start at 10:30 with the memorial service immediately following. Interment will then be at Memorial Mountain View Cemetery, 3115 Bengal Blvd, Cottonwood Heights, UT. A live stream of Gary's funeral service will be available on this page on November 11 at 11:30am.Show more
