Jim Ingles

James (Jim) Leon Ingles was born September 18th, 1947, in Salt Lake City, Utah to Helen Mace Waddell and John Earl Ingles. He passed away unexpectedly and peacefully following complications from surgery January 3rd, 2024, in Layton, Utah.

Jim attended Stoker Elementary, Bountiful Jr. High, and Bountiful High School where he graduated in 1965. He started postgraduate work at the University of Utah, then was called to serve for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Great Lakes Mission from 1966-1968. Upon returning he continued at the U of U.  As a Senior, he met Sandra Lyn Johnson, whom he married for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple on January 22nd, 1971. He obtained his CPSD (Certified Professional in Supplier Diversity) and worked for many years in the grocery store industry. He designed many stores including some of the Harmons grocery stores and our beloved Bowmans Market. In addition to all his engineering and designing, he even carved a wooden statue with a chainsaw for a grocery store in Challis, Idaho.

Jim had a great love for music that began with playing many instruments in his youth including the clarinet, saxophone, piano, ukulele, guitar, bass guitar, and banjo. He had a knack for anything musical. He had a remarkable ear and could hear a song and sit and replay it on the spot. He sang, performed, and was asked to participate in many groups throughout his life including The Little Society, The Wildewood Singers, The Riverbottom Boys, and The Corby 3, and later The Corby B3 plus 1 (when adding the 4th member). He even auditioned to be a guitarist for The Monkees, and was talented enough to be requested to fill the role. He politely declined and chose to serve a mission instead. He performed at countless functions in college, church socials and dances, and was chosen to be on the “All-American College Show”. His love for music was well-known, but it did not exceed the love he had for his family. While working with his parents at Ingles Music in Bountiful, he began teaching guitar, ukulele, and banjo lessons. He continued teaching for over 50 years and loved each of his brilliant students! He was the devoted “Guitar Grandpa” visiting the homes of his grandchildren each week to teach them and share his passion for music.

He had a contagious smile and a great sense of humor. He was known to laugh, tease, and even mastermind an elaborate practical joke now and then. He could be found most evenings enjoying a nice oversized rectangular tub of freshly popped popcorn sprinkled with Vegit. He was insistent on each of his children and grandchildren developing his same love for popcorn and gifted many popcorn makers of all varieties (air, oil, microwave) to them over the years. Jim was an example of kindness and acceptance to everyone, regardless of their walk of life.

Jim had a strong testimony of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He had a love for the scriptures and gospel learning. He loved the prophet, Joseph Smith. He continually strived to become closer with God the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ. Jim served faithfully in various callings including Bishop, Elder’s Quorum President, Young Men’s Leader, and Primary Teacher.  Jim and Sandy were called to serve in the Family History Center as digital book Missionaries.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents, John and Helen, his younger brother Dennis, and his great-granddaughter Indy Rae. Jim is survived by his wife, Sandy, and his siblings: Carolyn, Glen, and Mary Ann (Rick); his children: Brian (Jana), Jen (Darin), Stacey (David), Scott (Linsey), and Matt (Jenica); his grandchildren, whom he adored: Briana (Jake), Jacob, Cassie, Carter, Clara, Bridger, Wyatt, Grifin, Brexan, Brinley (Brandyn), Blake, Savanna (Max), Parker, Austin, Tyson, Caitlyn, Hailey, Bowen, Jackson, McCall, Tate, Truman; and his great-grandsons, Greyson and James.

Kim Samuelson

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the unexpected passing of Kim E. Samuelson on January 2nd, 2024, due to complications of his heart.

Kim was born on March 10, 1947, in Salt Lake City, Utah to Clarence and Idell Samuelson. He was the second of five children, between his brothers Lance and Kevin and his three younger sisters, Nancy, Deanne, and Clare. He grew up in West Bountiful and attended Bountiful Junior High where he met his sweetheart, Regina Anderson, who later became his “Queenie-Bird.”

While attending Bountiful Junior High, Regina’s best friend’s name was Susan who would let her wear her “S” necklace because Kim’s last name was Samuelson. Kim gave Regina a Valentine’s Day card that said, “For Valentine’s let's play post office with a little more horsing around.” They liked each other a lot and Kim also liked his horse a lot! His horse was named Shorty and he even let Regina ride Shorty. But the horse ran away with Regina on his back and she didn’t like Shorty anymore! Their love that began during their Junior High years, continued to flourish throughout high school, marking the start of a lifetime of devotion.

After graduating from Bountiful High School, Kim was called to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he labored in the England, Southampton Mission. His mission experience deepened his faith and his love for the Savior. Shortly after returning from his mission, Kim and Regina were married in the Salt Lake Temple on September 18th, 1968. They started their life together in a single-wide trailer and relocated to Logan where they both attended Utah State University.

While in Logan, their first son, Christopher was born and two years later Nichole joined the family. After graduating from Utah State University, Kim was accepted to dental school at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, where his third child, Ashley was born.

After four years, the family moved back to Salt Lake City, where they graduated from a single-wide to a double-wide trailer, things were looking up.

His dental career began with very humble beginnings with him splitting time between two practices one of which was in Milford, UT, where he would commute six hours round trip and work on the weekends. After several years of doing that and saving money, he decided to hang his own shingle in Bountiful, in a small one-room office that he rented from his father-in-law. At this point Kim and Regina were blessed with their fourth child, Jacob.  After several years practicing in Bountiful, he moved to a larger office in Centerville that he shared with several other dentists. 

With years of hard work and saving, he was finally able to acquire property on Main Street in Centerville, where he designed and built his own building. Kim was very hands on and insisted on doing much of the work himself.  Over the course of his 42-year-career he really learned to perfect his craft and prided himself in the quality of the work he produced. He is a perfectionist. He also loved to learn of and implement new cutting-edge techniques for better patient outcomes.

Dad really wanted to be a rancher and farmer. If he thought that he could’ve convinced Regina, he would’ve done it in a second. They were fortunate to acquire property in Centerville and that became the compromise, a mini ranch. His first big acquisition for the mini ranch was a tractor that was five times bigger than it needed to be, but he didn't care, he loved it. Over the years, he continued to acquire more machinery and tools and one of his greatest loves in life was to use his tools to help neighbors, family and friends with various projects.

Dad loved to serve. If you had to say what was Kim’s greatest legacy in this life, it was his love of serving people. 

Kim loved spending time with his family and enjoyed so many adventures together.

Many summers were spent either at Lake Powell or Moab exploring literally as much of the lake and trails as humanly possible. He was known for his long days, often into the night, just wondering what was around the corner. Many winters were spent exploring as much mountain range as possible and as fast as his snowmobile would allow. Dad's excursions were intricately planned, consistently incorporating a motorized element; lounging on the beach was not his idea of fun.

Dad was a devout, faithful, and hard-working member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and loved his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He loved serving in the church and would be there for anyone at the drop of a hat. He held many positions in the church including bishop, bishopric counselor, stake high councilor and numerous other positions. Most recently he spent two years serving in Nebraska and Wyoming with his wife doing a service mission where they made many close friends and performed countless acts of service. While serving on a ranch in Kansas with 2,000 cows in his backyard, he finally fulfilled his dream of becoming a rancher and farmer. Many have asked if they were sad that they didn’t learn a new language, but they did learn a language and it was called Moo. Kim and Regina grew very close during this time and wouldn’t trade it for the world. Dad lived a rich and full life and he will be sorely missed.

Kim is survived by his wife, Regina, and their children and grandchildren: Chris (wife Holly, children Piper and Presley); Nichole (husband Matt, children Jamon, Mitchell and Jory); Ashley (husband Justen, children Ellie, Aliva, Madsen and Mckay); Jacob (wife Jana, children Kaiden, Maggie, Macy, Kallen and Myla); siblings: Lance, Kevin, Nancy, Deanne and Clare; and many in-laws, nieces, nephews, friends and family too numerous to list, but not forgotten. Kim is preceded in death by his father and mother, Clarence and Idell Samuelson, his granddaughter Millee and many other family members with whom he is now reunited.

Viewings will be held Sunday, January 7, 2024, from 6:00 PM. to 8:00 PM., and Monday, January 8, 2024, from 9:30 AM. to 10:30 AM at the Canyon View Chapel, 210 East 1825 North, Centerville, Utah.

A luncheon for family members will follow at the Canyon View Chapel, 210 East 1825 North, Centerville, Utah at approximately 1:30 PM.
