Alan Keddington

Beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend, Martin Alan Keddington, passed away Monday, Oct. 17, 2016 at home in Laguna Woods, CA after a valiant battle with cancer. He is already missed by those who knew and loved him. Alan was born in Salt Lake City, on Dec. 4, 1946, to Joseph Martin and Elda Page Keddington. He and his six younger brothers grew up in Bountiful.

Alan learned early on the value of hard work. Throwing papers on the early morning paper routes and working in his dad’s service station were a daily part of his early years. Alan graduated from Bountiful High School in 1965 and soon left to serve a mission in the Spanish American Mission. Upon his return, he married Julie Badham in the Salt Lake Temple on Sept. 14, 1967. Together they have four children. Alan became a pharmacist in Bountiful after graduating from the University of Utah. He also worked for General Motors for several years in Napa, CA, and he loved the beautiful drives throughout the Napa and Sonoma Valleys that this job entailed. The majority of his professional life was spent as an agent for Allstate Insurance in Orange County, CA.

Alan was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was a dedicated servant of the Lord Jesus Christ and his testimony of the gospel was an integral part of who he was. His years of service as an ordinance worker in both the San Diego and Newport Beach Temples alongside his wife brought him great peace and joy.

He had a great love for baseball. For many years, he coached little league. He enjoyed playing on various community softball teams. Also, one of his favorite activities was to attend Major League baseball games with his family. Alan always had a corny joke ready to tell, a book waiting to be read, or a crossword puzzle halfway done. If he had his way, he would spend his days fishing the rivers of Utah or riding horses in the mountains above the “B.” His grandchildren loved “Grandpa Shadow” and his silly antics. Alan was incredibly smart, and his advice was always welcome. He is known for his adage to “Never Kick a Wet Chicken.” He was a true friend to all who knew him.

He is survived by his wife, Julie; his children Patrick (Annette) Keddington of San Diego, CA, Christina (Troy) Draper of Frisco, TX, James (Katherin) Keddington of Bountiful, Richard (Holly) Keddington of Watertown, WI; and 15 grandchildren. He is proceeded in death by his parents and his granddaughter, Madelyn.

Services will be held at Ruston Brothers Mortuary, 295 N Main, Bountiful—a viewing on Friday, Oct. 28 from 6 to 8 PM and a funeral service on Saturday, Oct. 29 from 11 a.m. to noon. Interment will be in the Bountiful City Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Humanitarian Fund for Refugee Relief at ldscharities.org.

Our beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend, Thomas Clair Sorenson  passed away peacefully on May 28, 2016 surrounded by his loving family after a courageous four-year battle with pancreatic cancer. He loved hunting, fishing, camping with his family and friends in the Colorado mountains. Although he was born and raised in Utah (June 19, 1947), he always called Colorado Springs, CO his home, where he lived and raised his five children for 38 years. He served three years in the US Army during the Vietnam conflict.

Tom worked for the Department of Defense as an accountant and as such was able to take his family and live in Germany for a total of seven years. Other than the hunting with his boys and friends they were the most memorable times of his life.

He married his high school sweetheart, LeAnne Smoot on Dec. 21, 1966 in Centerville, and was later sealed to her in the Salt Lake Temple. He and his wife served nine years as temple ordnance workers in the Denver Temple and nine years as Stake missionaries at the Colorado State Prison in Florence, CO (his two very favorite callings in the church). He was the most principled and honest man we have ever known.

He was born to Vaughn C. Sorensen and Leatha C. in Mt. Pleasant, Utah whom preceded him in death.
