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.

Bob Heaps

 

Salt Lake City, UT - January 9, 1947 ~ January 19, 2024

Robert E. Heaps son of Mildred and Willard Heaps was the second of seven children. While his wife and three of his daughters were close by his side, he joined his parents and eldest son Robert Patrick "Pat" in death. 

Bob spent his life working hard and laughing harder. Those who knew him often described him as kind, accepting, loving, knowledgeable, or simply the best man they know. Bob never met a challenge he couldn't beat, and taught his children and grandchildren a profound love of mountains, fishing, Lord of the Rings, and chocolate milkshakes. 

He is survived by his wife Becky, children Tracy, Kelly (Jami), Misty (Ernie), Teddy, and Amy (Rob), 16 grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, all his brothers and sisters and many other extended family members. At his request there will be no services, but the family has set up a memorial page and welcomes all to visit and share memories and condolences.
