Obit Daniel “Danny” Scott Marz
Daniel “Danny” Scott Marz passed away on Thursday, March 8, 2018, following a valiant fight against the demons that stole his smile, happiness and bright personality. Our hearts are broken and will never be whole again.

Danny was born Feb. 7, 1962, in St. Louis, Missouri, to William Scott and Beulah Fisher Marz. He grew up in Camarillo, California. Danny later resided in the Lancaster/Palmdale area of California, where he found a love of landscaping, which he developed into a career.

In 1998, Danny was ready to move on from bachelorhood and relocated to Ogden, Utah, to search for true love. He married Tracey Holladay on July 8, 2000, in California, settled in Ogden, and became a stepfather to Lee Johnson. He and Tracey had two beautiful boys, Steven Jeffrey and Jackson Daniel. Danny embraced fatherhood with his entire soul; nothing in life brought him more joy, pride and fulfillment than time with his family. Some people pretend to love parenthood, but when Danny beamed about raising his boys, he meant every word.

He spent most of his career as a landscaper and concert promoter, where he met and became lifelong friends with hundreds of musicians. Over the past five years, he and Tracey have been the owners and operators of the Pit Stop Car Wash and Coffee Shop in Tooele. He has been an active and beloved member of the Tooele community over the past 10 years when the family moved to Erda, Utah, and has impacted the lives of many with his outgoing personality and infectious smile. His heart was as big as his smile and he gave endlessly to his community through smiles, stories and community events.

Danny loved people and anyone who knew him knows he loved to talk. But he was also a good listener. He was truly interested in the lives of people and he was eager to celebrate successes and step in to help when people were struggling. Danny also strove to use his time, energy and connections to do charitable work.

Danny is survived by his wife, Tracey Holladay Marz; sons, Steven Jeffrey and Jackson Marz, Erda, Utah; stepson Lee Johnson, Lancaster, California; brothers, Steve (Suzanne) Marz, Oxnard, California and Jeff (Elaine) Marz, Lehi, Utah; sister Charlyn (John) Parker, Riverton, Utah; and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.

Danny was preceded in death by his mother and father.

Funeral services will be Saturday, March 17 at 11 a.m. at the Stansbury South Stake Center, 240 Interlochen Lane, Stansbury Park, Utah, with memorial visitation at 9 a.m. before services. Funeral support provided by Tate Mortuary.

The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to the Tooele County Sheriff’s Office, Tooele EMT/Fire Department, and Tooele City Police Department for their compassion, professionalism, and concern to the family during this traumatic and tragic event.  The family would also like to express their gratitude for the outreach and support from the Life’s Worth Living Foundation, Ladies Community Club of Tooele, and the numerous local business and citizens who came together to support the family during this time.

Tooele County was growing so fast, they chose to buy a ranch in Grouse Creek, Utah, where Boyd spent the rest of his years until disease started to take him.

Boyd loved horseback riding and always had his eye open for water while he was at it. He had a love for hunting, and taught many of his children how to be successful at it. He liked to fish and ride his 4-wheeler for hours, touring the ranch, usually with a dog or two aboard. His greatest love was working cattle and looking for ways to improve the ranch.

He is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Our wonderful mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, Helen Claxton-Crosby, was received home to our Father in Heaven and her many loved ones on Tuesday, March 27, 2018. Helen was born on Aug. 6, 1931, to Willis and Minnie Claxton in Baxley, Georgia. She married Earl E. Crosby, Sr. on May 10, 1951. They had two children: their favorite daughter, Sara Ann (Lemmon) and their favorite son, Earl E. Crosby, Jr. Earl and Helen also cared for foster children for many years in their home.

Helen was a woman of many talents. Her favorite was that of taking care of her family. She was a protective and loving mother. She prepared the best southern meals, which we will miss so much! We feel very blessed to have such a caring mother.

She had a great talent for quilting. Many of us received her works of art that we will forever cherish. She was in the quilt guild and had monthly sewing get-togethers in her home where she shared her knowledge and created cherished friendships.

She also had a talent for painting. Her home is decorated with very beautiful paintings. She enjoyed a beautiful yard and vegetable garden that her husband worked in with his talents as well. She always loved to participate in the annual fair and received many awards for her food and garden entries. One of her favorite loves was that of collecting salt and pepper shakers. The light in her eyes as one more set was added to her collection was unmistakable. The salt and pepper collection also brought joy to many others as they would seek out another set to give her as gifts.
