Eric can be described in one word: love. He loved his children and taught them well. He loved going on family trips and spending time in nature. He loved his Savior and serving in various callings in Tthe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

These two special ladies were considered our aunts while we were growing up.

Mom was a teacher’s aid in the Tooele School District for many years. Her love and compassion for her students was amazing. If ever a student was in need of shoes or a winter coat, she would provide them with their needs. She had a very generous heart with whomever she knew and loved. 

She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 65 years, Gilbert Manchego, and her mother and stepfather.

Mom and Dad used to love to go dancing. She enjoyed her trips to Wendover and just being with loved ones. She also had a love and interest in angels and now she walks amongst them.

A special thank you to her sister and our aunt Eliane who came from North Carolina to assist and care for her through some rough times. Also, special thank you to her nurses, Sharon and Patty, who took good care of her. A special thank you to her brothers- and sisters-in-law who also treated her like a real sister.

We will miss our mama for her loving soul, but are comforted in knowing that she is in the loving care of her true father and loved ones. We all know she is dancing once again with her Silver Fox and surrounded by many angels.

Obit Paul Isaac Mohammed1962 – 2020

Paul Isaac Mohammed, 58, devoted husband and father, beloved son, uncle, nephew and cousin, passed peacefully June 9, 2020, in Phoenix, Arizona, surrounded by friends and family after relentlessly battling stage four cancer. Typical of Paul, he fought hard with strength and positivity, aided by outpouring love from his army of supporters until the very end.

Born in Tooele, Utah, Paul’s formative years were spent growing up in the remote town of Dugway, Utah, with a lifelong band of brotherhood friends. Paul and his brothers played on every high school sports team from softball to basketball to football, and Paul was the student body president his senior year. The foundation for Paul’s work ethic, leadership and love of sports came from his family upbringing in Dugway.

Paul went on to the University of Utah where he graduated with a bachelor of science in industrial engineering and a master of business administration. He began his career in Salt Lake City, Utah, and married Connie Vanikiotis. Together they raised two great kids, Anthony and Adriana, a source of pride and the center of their lives. Paul’s work later moved the family to Phoenix, Arizona.

Whether coaching Little League Baseball, managing his son’s soccer team or being a hype man for his daughter’s cheerleading team, Paul was a dedicated, supportive father. The tenacity and old school toughness he lived by in his own sports he passed on to his kids. “Pops” was considered a second father by numerous kids whom he mentored and cherished. He cared about the kids, “kicking ass” if needed and building people up. The Mohammed household was considered home by many.

Paul was noted for his inspirational leadership, voice of reason and humor. His teasing, straight shooting and genuine nature made him a man with many friends and a family favorite. He was a curious learner and reader, regularly sharing his knowledge with others. Paul enjoyed the outdoors and traveling, and especially took pleasure in hiking, whether it was in the desert terrain of Arizona or the alpine mountains of Alaska. A Utah Utes fan and a diehard Dodgers fan, family loved going to football and baseball games with him. Family mattered to Paul, and, being an avid photographer, he always had a camera in hand to capture the memories.

Paul is survived by his wife Connie; children Anthony (Sydney) and Adriana; parents Abraham and Eva; siblings, Greg (Liz) and Joe (Kim); in-laws, Bill and Irene Vanikiotis; along with several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, all of whom he cared for deeply. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, uncle Joe, uncle Bobby, niece Alexis and others.

Paul chose to donate his body to aid others in advancing science and medicine. Due to COVID-19 and concerns for the health of Paul’s many friends and family, a celebration of life will be held at a later date and time in Salt Lake City.

Obit Heinz Paul JockischHeinz Paul Jockisch of Tooele, Utah, passed away June 16, 2020, at the age of 93. He was an incredible husband, father and Opa. He was born Jan. 13, 1927, in Patschkau, Germany. Music was always a part of his life. He loved to sing and yodel and his mother taught him how to play the harmonica. Without being able to read a note he played his collection of harmonicas, the piano and organ, and loved everyone to sing along in German or English. He once played all night at a wedding when the band didn’t show up.

After WWII, he searched to find his family and his childhood sweetheart Selma Goerlich. They celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary on May 28, 2020. He then helped rebuild the Jockisch family business which is still thriving today.

In 1952, Heinz and Selma, with their oldest daughter, immigrated to America. They settled in St. Louis, Missouri, and were influential in starting the German Cultural Society, where their children learned to love their German heritage and performed traditional German dances. He was so proud of the day he became an American citizen. He remained a St. Louis Cardinal baseball fan for life. Family was everything in his life and weekends were spent playing games and enjoying nature, with fishing being one of his greatest past times. The many car trips are happy memories of singing a medley of songs from Germany and America.

While in St. Louis, he started his career in topography at the Granite City Army Depot which brought our family to Tooele, Utah, in August 1970. Here he discovered the fun of being a rockhound and served as president of the Tooele Gem and Mineral Society many times. He was a member of the Elks Lodge and was very active at Saint Marguerite Parish. His German heritage made him the expert bratwurst cook at annual German booths. Heinz was also a proud head “Gusher” at masses and with his limitless energy bingo was never quite the same when he helped.

Upon retirement, they started on their next adventure with the Heinz Rex Fur Ranch perfecting his rabbits to “Grand Champion” award winning levels. This led to using his skills to make beautiful fur items, including his famous “woolys” and custom Alpine style bird houses to sell at craft shows throughout the USA. He was also an avid gardener and was so proud of his showplace yard. One of his favorite things to do was pick flowers and bring a bouquet to his wife Selma. Their love of travel included trips to Hawaii, Germany, the Panama Canal, Alaska and all around his beautiful country of America.

Heinz is survived by his wife Selma; his daughters Brigitte Wisely, Christa (Wicha) Mike, Margaret (Bill) Palmer, Ingrid (Juan) Sanchez; and son George (Tammie) Jockisch; grandchildren Stephanie, Stephen, Nicole, Amy, Josef, Jason, William III, Katherine, Michael, Paul, Amanda, Monique, Felicia, Andreas; 16 great-grandchildren and nine great-great-grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Alzheimers. A service was held Monday, June 22, 2020, at St. Marguerite Church, with interment at the Tooele City Cemetery.
