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.

Stewart Moss






















On September 26, 2019, we unexpectedly lost our loving father, husband, brother, and friend when Stewart passed away in Fernley Nevada.

David Stewart Moss, born August 6, 1947, was the third of five children born to David Claude Moss and Cleo Lucille Lund. Stewart was raised on a dairy farm in Woods Cross Utah, where he learned at a young age the value of hard work and providing for family. He graduated from Bountiful High class of 1965. Stewart spent his early years working the farm, joined the Army Reserves, drove school bus for Davis County, and was a Davis County volunteer firefighter. In his free time, Stewart loved racing his El Camino at Bonneville.

Stewart married Frances Stone on February 13, 1970, and had three children: Rocksan, David, and Nitisha. Stewart and Fran divorced. He continued working and furthering his education by going to night school. Stewart met Margie Linford Crocker and her daughter, April, and married shortly thereafter on November 28, 1979. Together they had one child, Shalene. Stewart continued working for Eaton Kenway where his job required him to travel often. When he wasn’t working, you’d find him in the fields with the cows, chopping wood in the woodpile, welding a big project, riding four-wheelers, camping or rafting the Green River always surrounded by family and friends. In 1987 he took a job offer to work for Arrow Electronics and moved his family to Yaphank NY. Living on Long Island Stewart gained a true testimony and love for The Book of Mormon and The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints. He had many service opportunities and callings in the church, he especially enjoyed being the ward Missionary Leader. Stewart enjoyed the friends he made in NY but the distance from Utah was too much. He transferred to Reno Nevada in 1995 and remained with Arrow Electronics until he retired in 2015. He divorced Margie and she died March 14, 2006.  He married Rosalinda Allen on April 5, 2002. They together spent his remaining years serving in their local LDS ward, traveling, and enjoying family. Stewart bravely fought and lived with kidney disease for the last 13 years, taking a huge toll on his body.  He was often tired and weak but continued to live life and love every moment.

Stewart was welcomed in heaven by his parents and two sisters Claudia, and Judy who preceded him in death. He is survived by his brother Darrell (Becky) Moss, sister Shauna (Reese) Peters, wife Rose, five children: April Crocker Zahr (Rob), Rocksan (Eric), David (Jackie), Nitisha (Andy), Shalene (Michael); five stepchildren: Andrei, Casey (Christian), Monette (Brian), Joyce (Max), Ryan (Mel) and 26 cherished grandchildren that he absolutely adored.

A memorial service will be held Thursday, October 3, 2019, at 6:00 PM at the Woods Cross Stake Center at 2064 South 800 West, Woods Cross, Utah 84087. Funeral service and interment will be held Saturday, October 5, 2019, in Sparks Nevada.
