Ken Petersen

On January 23, 2017 our Dad, Grandpa, and friend, Kenneth Kay Petersen returned to heaven to finally reunite with his Mom and Dad, whom he missed dearly. Our Dad, Kenneth Kay Petersen was born on March 11, 1947 to Ralph Petersen and Myrtle Mary Neilsen-Petersen. He was one of five children; sisters: Devola, Cora, and Carma; and his brother, Shirl. Our Dad graduated from Bountiful High School in 1965 and furthered his education at ITT Technical School where he received a degree in welding. Our Dad Ken enlisted in the Navy in 1969 and served for a brief period in the Vietnam War. He was very patriotic and loved the song “God Bless the USA.”

Our Dad Ken married his first wife Marilyn, later divorced, but together had a daughter, Wendy Petersen-Hurman. On November 19, 1969 he married Carol Bills, later divorced, but together they had David Petersen (Billie Jo), and Amber Bridges (Scott). Our Dad had six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren (three more on the way). Our Dad Ken had such a strong faith in the LDS church. He felt very fortunate to be able to go through the LDS Temple. He had such a strong faith in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Our Dad Ken had many passions throughout his life. As a teenager he enjoyed fixing up cars and was a member of a car club. Our Dad was also a coach for his son, David’s baseball team for many summers. He loved working with young kids. Our Dad’s biggest passion was being an over-the-road truck driver; he was a truck driver for almost thirty years. He would often tell people that he had driven close to three million miles and had pretty much covered every major city throughout the United States. He kept a map book of the United States and highlighted all areas he had been. Since retiring he has lived vicariously through his son, David who is also an over-the-road truck driver. He was so proud of David and what he had accomplished through school and now his truck driving. He loved the phone calls from David with updates of where David was going to be traveling. They would often discuss which highways would be used in David’s travels.

Our Dad was also very proud of me, Amber. I became a distance runner and have run a handful of marathons. My Dad never missed a race. He was there to attend almost every one and always met me at the finish line. He bragged to everyone about my accomplishments. My dad was giddy with all inclusions of our lives. His heart was so filled with love for us that it was hard to believe his heart fit inside his chest. We are going to miss his goofy and playful personality, his beautiful blue eyes, and his deep love for us.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, January 27, 2017 at Memorial Lake Hills Mortuary, 10055 South State Street, Sandy, Utah.

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.

Bruce Jefferies

(Obituary compiled from information found on the Internet.)

Bruce James Jefferies was born on August 19, 1947 to Donald James and Norma Bauer Jefferies.  He was the oldest of four siblings that included Brad, Sherrie and Neil.  He never married and had no children. 

According to his sister, Sherrie, he was very personable and loved being around people.  Bruce was a drummer with The Fabulous Flippers that toured the Midwest for years.  The group is said to be one of the most important bands to come from the Central United States. No other band from the area drew larger crowds, caused more excitement, or had more influence on aspiring musicians. The Flippers drew sell-out crowds from Texas to North Dakota and from Colorado to Illinois. The band famously advertised their shows on KOMA Radio from Oklahoma City, and teens drove hundreds of miles to what was known as a "Flipper Dance”.

Bruce later settled in Owensboro, KY where he ended his career working for the Owensboro Music Center,  handling the sound equipment for concerts in the area.

Bruce passed away at the age of 68 on September 22, 2015.  He is buried in the Bountiful Lakeview Cemetery with an interesting marker featuring a set of drums.

Roger Buck

    

Roger Buck died unexpectedly at his home, apparently as the result of a fall on Sunday, July 13, 2014. He was 67 years old.

Roger was born in Los Angeles, CA and grew up in Bountiful, Utah, graduating from Bountiful High in 1965. Following a Mormon mission to Switzerland and Lebanon (he learned to speak German and Arabic), Roger attended the University of Utah, where he earned a bachelors degree in psychology.

Upon graduation he moved to San Francisco, CA, where he worked at various jobs, including manager of a European Health Spa. Before long he applied to and was accepted at the Pacific Graduate School of Psychology, and then California State University, Hayward, obtaining two masters degrees in psychology.

Subsequently, he worked as a psychologist in the Bay Area for a number of years and was highly regarded by his colleagues for his skills. He worked with children, was a marriage and family counselor, a school psychologist, and part of a mobile crisis team. In recent years he had returned to Utah and was living in the Avenues in Salt Lake City.

Roger is an unforgettable character for all who knew him: intelligent, witty, passionate, opinionated, charismatic and a bit devilish. He lived life on his own terms, which included actively protesting the Vietnam War and leaving the Mormon Church when he came to doubt some of its teachings. He was also compassionate, especially towards children, homeless people and animals. His rescue golden retriever Minnie was his constant companion and accompanied him on daily walks in the Avenues and the foothills above Salt Lake City. He enjoyed great literary works and particularly liked the novels of Fyodor Dostoyevski and Hermann Hesse. His favorite rock group of all time was The Who; and his favorite city was San Francisco.

Roger was predeceased by his parents and is survived by his brother Brent, who lives in San Francisco.  At Roger's request, there will be no funeral or other service. He will be remembered. That is enough.

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.
