In Memoriam

The purpose of this blog is to honor our former classmates who attended Bountiful High School as members of the class of 1965 and are now deceased. These souls, who have gone before us, were our friends, our associates, and an important part of our own history. They deserve to be remembered. We were able to research a school photo for most of these former classmates. We have also located obituaries for many of them, and have included statistical information regarding the death of those for whom an obituary was not found. 

Our profound thanks to all of our friends who have sent information to assist us in preparing this labor of love. Researched and compiled by Yvonne Rasmussen and Diane Day.

**Due to Blogger limitations, dates for those who passed before 1970 will display inaccurately in the chronological list. You'll find those classmates' obituaries listed under 1970.

John Green

















Johnny Van Green, adored husband to Shirlene Adair Green and loyal father of nine fantastic children, passed away from lung cancer on the evening of October 27, 2013 at Jordan Valley Medical Center.

John lived life to the fullest and enjoyed being around the things and people he loved the most. The "Green House 9" was always the "Lazy Jay Motel" as he would call it. Family conversations were often held in the dark with Matlock reruns in the background.

John did not want to take life too seriously. Light-hearted interactions with everyone he met kept us all smiling. John was a top producing insurance agent. He served his country in the U.S. National Guard and the Army Reserve.

He gave his heart to his beautiful bride in the Salt Lake Temple and he raised a family determined to carry on his name. During the setting days of John's life, the family witnessed a kind and brave man depart from this earthly existence leaving behind a legacy of honor and love.

Preceded in death by his parents, Van Wilson Green and Norma Jean Smith Green. Survived by his wife, Shirlene Adair Green; brothers, Wilson Green (Sandy) and Robert Green; his children, John Russell Green (JeongAe), Jennifer Densley (Ronnie), Melanie Williams, Adam Green (Ashley), Holly Marrott (Dave), James Green (Nicole), Mariette Evans (David), Andrew Green (Justine), and Aaron Green;?and twenty most wonderful grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 2, 2013 at Jenkins-Soffe South Valley Mortuary, 1007 West South Jordan Parkway. (10600 South). Viewings will be held on Friday, November 1, 2013 from 6:30-8:00 p.m. at the mortuary and from 10:00-10:45 a.m. prior to the services.  Interment: Mountain View Memorial Estates Cemetery.  Published in the Deseret News on October 31, 2013.
