Del will be deeply missed by his wife, Rusty; his children, Marty (Brenda), Marie (Troy), Randy (Keli), Lara (Brad), and Suzy (Curtis); Rusty’s children, Taunya (Darrell), and Becky; his brother, Dee (Mary), and his sister, Darla (Tom); as well as his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was preceded by his father, Bert, and his mother, Betty.
Del served in the United States Navy and then worked at Kennecott Copper Company’s refinery until a medical retirement. He had an incredibly soft heart and was a devoted friend to many. He was very hard working and dedicated and had a passion for the things he enjoyed doing. He was right at home in a campground, hunting or fishing, just as he was in a bowling alley or on a golf course. He loved caring for animals and raised horses, cows, sheep, and even a bison. He raised chickens, pigeons, peacocks and pheasants. His pheasants won numerous awards in the Utah Pheasant Society’s annual shows.
A graveside service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, August 22, 2018 at Valley View Memorial Park 4400 West 4100 South, West Valley City, Utah. Those wishing to express condolences may do so at www.valleyviewfh.com.
