David Garry Mallet
David Garry Mallet, age 74, passed away peacefully at home on Sept. 26, 2016, in Wasilla, Alaska. Dave was born in Tooele, Utah, on Oct. 13, 1941, to Daveral and Ada Peasnall Mallet. He was one of 12 children. He was a beloved husband, father, and grandfather. He led an accomplished life. He was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where he served in the Bishopric, High Council, and many other positions. Dave married one of the many loves of his life, Nancy Cheryl Green, on May 4, 1962. Dave and Cheryl celebrated a 54-year eternal marriage even though he always thought their anniversary was May 5. He made friends easily, and had many. Lonnie Wood from Wasilla, Alaska, was his favorite fishing buddy, construction friend, and the honorary Boys Club president (meaning they went to McDonald’s three times a week for a senior drink and a chat with all the “boys”). There wasn’t anything Dave couldn’t fix. He was an exceptional carpenter and handyman. His greatest and most cherished hobby was collecting “perfectly good stuff” (junk) and hiding it in plain sight. Dave had a strong and dependable work ethic. He was reliable and seldom missed work. While he was employed at Tooele Army Depot, he helped assemble the Red-Eye missile and was sent to Germany to teach them how to make it fly. He retired from Dugway Proving Ground as an electronic technician. Dave returned to work because he was driving us crazy being bored, later working as a construction worker for Hansel Phelps. Following that, he was a superintendent at Layton Construction. After his third and final retirement, he was a handyman for the elderly. Dave is survived by his beautiful wife Nancy Cheryl Mallet; children Brenda (Tom) DeNitto, Gary (Shelly) Mallet, Jalean Mallet, Katrina (Alan) Spencer and Travis (Cheyenne) Mallet; siblings Merle (Jackie) Struhs, Ross (Brenda) Mallet and Carol Pulley. He is also survived by 15 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. He was loved by all who met him, with the exception of his daughter’s boyfriends. He will be greatly missed! Dave was preceded in death by his parents; brothers Kenneth Struhs, Lynn Struhs, Wayne Struhs, Larry Mallet, Buddy Mallet, Marlin Mallet and CalRoy Mallet and sister Valdonna Struhs. The family requests in lieu of flowers send donations to the American Diabetes Association. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., Oct. 8, 2016, at the Grantsville 7th Ward Church, 415 W.

Death Notice: Kenneth Sheets
Kenneth Sheets passed away at his home on Oct. 4, 2016. Services are Friday, Oct. 14, 2016. A full obituary will appear in Tuesday’s Transcript Bulletin. For further information contact Tate Mortuary 435-882-0676.
Kenneth Gary Shields
Gary Shields was born on April 5, 1937, to Kenneth and Ethel Shields and was raised in Tooele, Utah. He passed away Oct. 3, 2016, at age 79. At the age of six he contracted polio. He was fascinated by the doctors who saved his life and eventually became a doctor himself. He served a mission for the LDS Church in Louisiana. He was a member of the University of Utah Medical School’s very first graduating class. While in school, he met Lynda Terry. After a double date Gary’s cousin told him, “You’d be a fool not to marry that one.” Gary was no fool, so the couple was wed on July 5, 1962. They had four children. During the Vietnam War, Gary was drafted into the Navy and served as a medical officer in Nevada. Gary joined Anesthesiology Associates of Salt Lake where he ultimately became chief of anesthesia at LDS Hospital. He later transferred to Alta View Hospital. He also took several opportunities to volunteer for Operation Smile. He had a lifelong fascination with the way things worked, whether it was a human body, an automobile engine, a garden or anything else. It wasn’t sufficient to merely understand any of these things, he wanted to know how they were put together. He did this by taking stuff apart and reassembling it (sometimes in what he considered to be a better way). He wasn’t really into aesthetics, but he loved functionality. For this reason it was easy to recognize many of the projects that Gary touched. His repairs almost always involved a combination of rubber bands cut from inner tubes, surgical drapes, paper clips, bailing wire and duct tape. On numerous occasions he stitched up friends and family under makeshift conditions in exotic environments. The majority of these impromptu patients never seemed to clue into the fact that traumatic accidents occurred at a much higher than normal rate whenever Gary was around. Or maybe “his victims” were simply willing to put up with bruises and broken bones because of the adventure that Gary always seemed to attract. He crisscrossed the western U.S. by dirt bike, set foot on every continent, sailed hundreds of bodies of water, hiked many mountains, SCUBA dived around the world, explored virtually every canyon and crevasse in Lake Powell and skied thousands of slopes (but particularly those of Alta which he discovered in his teens and where he was still skiing at the rate of 50-plus days a year as recently as last season). He also conducted the Utah Symphony twice. In addition, Gary became legendary with the neighborhood kids for building an ice rink season after season. To call it a labor of love is to vastly understate the amount of labor that was involved. On the coldest nights, when the city slept the soundest, Gary could be found dragging a hose around his backyard, spraying layer upon layer of ice in preparation for the hockey game that was certain to erupt the next evening. And as with so many other things in his life, he did not do this work because he loved to skate. He seldom laced on his own pair of skates. He worked endlessly because he loved to know that people were smiling as a result of his efforts. In 2005, Lynda was diagnosed with cancer. Gary devoted himself to his wife’s care full-time. It was a long road. Eight years later, after many more happy memories had been made as a family, Lynda lost her battle. In the three years since, Gary did his best to resume normal life, but her passing left a void he could never refill. He donated his body to the University of Utah Medical School. He left his home for the final time wearing the same stethoscope he’d used for so many years. And now, like Lynda before him, Gary is off to visit the universe. We can only hope that the universe is prepared (but if he breaks anything, rest assured that he’ll fix it). Gary is survived by his three siblings Bob (Marilyn), Dianne (Joe) Ajax and Sally (Ray) Pyne; his four children, Dave, Debbie (Steve) Horton, Ken (Jennifer) and Candi (Juan) Arce-Larreta; 11 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents and his wife. In lieu of flowers please commit a selfless act. A celebration of Gary’s life will be held at his home on Saturday, Oct. 29 from 1-3 p.m. Info and updates at LyndaShields.com.
William (Bill) Daly Hurst
William (Bill) Daly Hurst passed away on Sept. 29, 2016, just six days shy of his 101st birthday, at Legacy House in South Jordan, Utah. Bill was born Oct. 5, 1915, in Parowan, Utah, the oldest child of William M. Hurst and Katie May Daly. He was raised in Panguitch, Utah, and graduated as student body president and co-valedictorian of his class at Garfield County High School in 1934. He attended Utah State Agricultural College and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in forestry and range management in 1938. During the summer of 1937, he worked for the U.S. Forest Service as an administrative guard in the Stansbury Mountains near Grantsville, Utah. After graduation, he took a permanent assignment with the Forest Service in the same location, becoming a third-generation forester in Utah, after his father and grandfather. In Grantsville, he met his sweetheart, Emma (Dolly) Johanson. They were engaged in 1940 and married March 19, 1941. The marriage was solemnized in the Salt Lake City Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in August 1954. Bill and Dolly were married for 41 years, until her passing in March 1982, and together they were the devoted parents of five children. Bill married Elizabeth Colbert in 1985; though they were later divorced, she remained a lifelong friend. Bill served in the U.S. Army during World War II, training for the invasion of Japan and then spending one year in Japan as part of the occupation forces in 1946. He continued his service in the U.S. Army Reserves, obtaining the rank of first lieutenant.
After the Army, Bill continued his work with the Forest Service for 39 years, serving in posts in Ogden, Manila, Logan and Vernal, Utah; Washington D.C.; and Albuquerque, New Mexico. He retired in May 1976 as the Regional Forester of the Southwest Region in Albuquerque. After his retirement, he remained active in environmental and conservation issues for the U.S. Forest Service, including the preservation of the Kaibab squirrel through the creation of the Friends of the Kaibab Squirrel organization. Bill continued to live in Albuquerque from his retirement until 2007, providing idyllic summers for his grandchildren, full of swimming and horseback riding, at his home in Bosque Farms. Bill was a charter member and past president of the Society for Range Management. He was also a member of the Lions Club, Rotary, the Society of American Foresters and the Wilderness Trail Riders of Prineville, Oregon. He was active in Scouting and was awarded the Silver Beaver Award for distinguished service. Bill was also the grateful recipient of Rotary’s Paul Harris Fellow award, the Jim Bridger Award for conservation achievement and Lifetime Achievement Award from Utah State University, as well as the 2004 Frederic G. Renner Award from the Society of Range Management. He traveled extensively throughout his life within the U.S., Canada and Mexico, in addition to China, Panama, Russia and the U.K., but he was happiest riding his horse or mule through the wilderness areas of New Mexico and Utah. Bill is preceded in death by wife, Dolly, and sister and brother-in-law, Margaret and Ralph Tingey. He is survived by his sister and brother-in-law, Katherine and Vernon Barney of Panguitch, Utah; his five children and their spouses, Bill (Sandy) Hurst of Bend, Oregon; Kathleen (Dean) Hughes of Midway, Utah; Linda (Bryant) Nelson of Waco, Texas; Helen (Tom) McKay of Edmond, Oklahoma; and Carl (Gaye) Hurst of South Jordan, Utah; 19 grandchildren, 34 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Services will be held on Saturday, Oct. 8, 2016, at 10 a.m. at Tate Mortuary in Tooele, Utah, with interment following at Grantsville City Cemetery. No viewing will be held, per Bill’s request. The family would like to thank the staff of the Cottages at Legacy House and IHC Hospice for their loving care during the last years and days of Bill’s life. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to your local Meals on Wheels, with which Bill was actively affiliated during his retirement years, Macular Degeneration Research, or the National Museum of Forest Service History.
Kenneth Scott Sheets
Kenneth Scott Sheets, age 95, died in Tooele, Utah on Oct. 4, 2016. He was born in Tooele on May 20, 1921, to Don M. Sheets and Mary Sheets. He graduated from Tooele High School, spent a year working at the local copper smelter, and in order to satisfy his love of airplanes, he attended Curtiss Wright Technical Institute in Glendale, California. Upon graduation he was hired by Boeing Airplane Company in Seattle, Washington on Aug. 11, 1941. Ken married Frances Tyler in 1942. They had one adopted son, Robert. Frances passed away in 1986 after a long debilitating bout with osteoporosis. Robert passed away in 1988. After 41 years at Boeing, 37 years in management, Ken retired in 1982 to care for his ailing wife. During his tenure at Boeing he worked on all of the Boeing airplanes of that time — A20, B17, 377, C97, B47, B52, 707, 727, 737, and 747. In addition, he was involved in the development of the Minuteman and Bomarc missiles and the Dynasoar X-20 space vehicle, which was a precursor to today’s space shuttle. Most of his time at Boeing was with the quality assurance organization. He also put in time in the engineering and manufacturing aspects of the business. Ken’s dream of working on airplanes was fulfilled. Ken’s interests were many. He spent many happy hours fishing with his son and hunting with his good friend Bert Petersen in Washington State. He loved to hike and climb mountains including the scaling of Mt. Rainier three times. He took particular pleasure in cutting large walnut trees, curing the wood and designing and producing an end product. He was a skilled woodworker, spending much of his available time on cabinetry and beautiful gun stocks. In later years, pretty much confined to the “flatlands” because of his two hip replacements, he added rock hounding to his list of interests. This fit in with his lifelong interest in early man in North America. His most recent focus was searching for the source of a rare type of agate utilized by Clovis people 12,000 years ago, and he succeeded. Ken married Vivian Elizabeth Carman, his high school sweetheart in 1987. They established a home in Tooele, Utah and had 20 beautiful years together until Vivian’s death on March 27, 2008. Vivian and Ken spent many happy times RVing the western states, enjoying the scenery and each others company. Ken is survived by his granddaughter Laurie Trepanier (Darin) of Auburn, Washington; his daughter-in-law Paula Sassell of Rail Road Flat, California; grandson Robert Sheets of St. Helens, Oregon; his brother Ed Sheets (Loris deceased) of Lincoln, Utah and many nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be held at Tate Mortuary, 110 S. Main Street, Tooele at 11 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 14, with a visitation one hour prior. Burial will be at the Tooele City Cemetery. There will be a remembrance gathering at the Benchmark Village Clubhouse in Tooele following the graveside service.
