He was born & raised in Murray, Utah where he attended Murray High and developed a love of ballroom dancing and baseball. He served an LDS Mission to Arcadia, California and upon returning, met and married his sweetheart Virginia and raised 3 children. He worked for State Brass, Bonneville Machine, Rocky Mountain Machine and United Precision as a Machinist and Programmer.

He loved life, family and a great joke. He was an outdoorsman, a sportsman and a craftsman. He loved baseball, dancing, hunting, fishing, shooting, golfing, carving & wood turning, and painting. He gave his all to everything he ever tried. A more loyal nor fierce friend could a person ever ask for.

“"Mention my name, you'll get a better seat."”

He is survived by his wife, Virginia, his children Cindy (John), Kyle, Michelle, his sisters Shirlene (Ernie), Diane, LaRie (Jerry), and numerous nieces, nephews, grandchildren and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents Bill and Shirley.

He is a beloved husband, father, brother, son, neighbor and friend. He will be missed very much.
