Karl graduated from Woods Cross High School (WXHS) and was most recently enrolled in the Apprentice Electrician Program at DATC.

Karl had a wonderful sense of humor and was a kind, gentle, happy soul who loved animals and was considerate of all people. He loved to serve and was always willing to donate his time and energy for others. Karl enjoyed hiking, running, mountain biking, competitive shooting, and being outdoors.

Karl loved music and played several instruments including violin, piano, ukulele, and bass trombone. He distinguished himself as a member of the Jazz Band at Woods Cross High School and played in the All-State Orchestra. He loved physical activities and was on the wrestling, cross-country, and track teams. He took 4th place in wrestling in the Utah State Championship in the 7th-9th grade division.

Karl completed a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Wichita, Kansas. He spoke fondly of the people he served on his mission, his companions, members, and those with whom he associated. He loved serving the Lord and had a strong testimony of his Savior and the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
