Victor R. “Vic” Bills, 77, of Salt Lake City, Utah, passed away on July 31, 2022, surrounded by family. He was born on May 9, 1945, in Logan, Utah to Amy Francis Robinson and Farrell Grant Bills, and graduated from Murray High School in 1963. Vic served in the United States Army, including a tour in Vietnam (1969-1970), and worked as a financial advisor for Highland Financial Group prior to retiring in 2017. Vic enjoyed golf, tennis, the beautiful Utah outdoors, and following the Utah Jazz. He loved cookies and ice cream (vanilla bean was his favorite), holiday celebrations, and any other opportunity to spend time with his family. Vic also loved a good project and enjoyed keeping his yard and home beautiful for the family to enjoy. Vic was a gentle soul. He always had a smile and welcoming words for those he met. Even as he battled dementia, his kindness remained, and he was well-loved by those that cared for him.
