Joe F. Garcia (Pancho) left this world to join his Heavenly Father on May 18, 2019. Joe was born Oct. 4, 1928, to Procopio and Odilia Garcia in Taos, New Mexico. He married his lovely wife, Cora Candelario, on Jan. 21, 1950, at St. Francis of Assissi Catholic Church in Taos. They were married 66 years. 

After moving to Tooele, Joe began his 34-year career at Tooele Army Depot. He was also a sergeant with the Tooele City Police Department. Over the years, Joe and Cora raised their four children, teaching them to be good citizens of society and to pursue their goals. Joe was a true supporter of his family throughout his life. He was always the greatest fan at wrestling matches, baseball games and all activities his family participated in. 

He was a loving, caring and ethical man who had the respect of his family and a long list of friends. Some of his hobbies were hunting and fishing with his family, watching the Utah Jazz, Notre Dame, Utah Utes and Arizona Wildcats. Joe loved riding horses and telling stories of being a ranch hand in Wyoming in his youth. He loved music and you could often catch him wearing his creased ball cap and whistling or singing along. Joe loved to grow his garden just so he could give away the vegetables. The more he gave, the more they would grow. 

Our loving father, grandfather, mentor and friend will truly be missed, but what he taught and inspired will carry on. 

Joe is preceded in death by his parents, his wife Cora, his daughter Frances, his grandson Pete, and his two brothers Juan and Junior Garcia.

He is survived by his three sisters Julia Romero, Cree Medina, and Maria (Ted) Trujillo; his three sons Rick (Karen), Anthony (Terri) and Greg (Ramona); 14 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews and God children.

We would like to sincerely thank the staff at Rocky Mountain Care Center and the Emergency Staff at the Mountain West Medical Center for the excellent care they gave Pampa C.

Born on Dec. 29, 1967, in the town of Jacona, Michoacan, Mexico.  

Son of Jose L. Medina Sr. and Maria del Carmen Balladares.

Jose was a loving father and a hard working man.

Survived by his daughter, Daniela G Medina.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be.

He put His arms around you and whispered “Come to Me.”

With tearful eyes we watched you suffer and fade away.

Although we couldn’t bear to lose you, we could not ask you to stay.

A golden heart stopped beating hard, working hands laid to rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us that He only takes the best.

You took the path to Heaven but you did not go alone.

For part of us went with you the day God called you home.

We will always remember you as a good and faithful man.

Carl Fredrick Krieser, 90, passed away May 15, 2019, after a brief illness. Carl was born April 24, 1929, in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He was the second child and only son of Carl Richard Krieser and Esther Edna Ruth.

Carl attended Kimberly High School in Kimberly, Wisconsin, and spoke at his graduation ceremony in 1947. The day after graduation he enlisted in the army. He served in Brooklyn, New York, and in Korea during the Korean War.  

The first part of his life was dedicated to the study of music. He learned to play coronet, saxophone, clarinet, and trumpet. He played in dance bands, high school band, and military bands in the United States and Korea. He loved music from the big-band era. 

He studied at Lawrence Conservatory of Music at Appleton, Wisconsin, where he met his future wife Joyce Alberta Julia Glassnap. They were married Sept. 6, 1952 in Appleton, Wisconsin.

Carl followed in his father’s footsteps and worked for the railroad in the early years of their marriage. This was the basis for his lifelong passion for railroads and trains. From Wisconsin, his career took them to Kansas City, Missouri, in 1958 where he managed railroad transportation of grain. He lived in the Kansas City area for 35 years.

Carl and Joyce were blessed with two boys, Kurt Richard and Karl Eric. He enjoyed being a father and supporting the boys in their interests and sports; he especially liked watching Eric wrestle. 

Although Carl was not a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he supported both of his boys in serving missions for the church. He had many friends who were members and when Joyce was called on a mission to the inner-city area of Kansas City, Kansas, Carl accepted a calling to serve with her.

After both boys were married and living in Utah, he took an early retirement so he and Joyce could move to Layton, Utah, to be closer to their sons and their grandchildren. Carl was never one to sit around; in his retirement he volunteered at Davis Hospital. 

He loved dogs and had a number of pet dogs over the years. From his first dog Jippy when he was four years old to Foxy who passed just last August, he loved them all! 

He was also an amateur radio enthusiast.

In 2013, he and Joyce moved to Stansbury Park, Utah, to be even closer to their family. 

Carl is survived by his wife of 66 years, Joyce Krieser; sons Kurt (Maria) Krieser, and Eric (Elida) Krieser (all of whom live in Stansbury Park); as well as his grandchildren Kristy (Josh) Anderson, Robyn (David) Campbell, Seth Krieser, Xochitl Krieser, Mason Krieser, Abra (Matt) Trussell, Nyla Krieser and Emily Krieser; great-grandchildren Aaron, Samantha, Aidan, Adam and Sabrina Anderson; sister-in-law Dawn Renee Glassnap; nieces Sharon (Bill) Jackson and Carol Loveless. Carl was proceeded in death by his parents Carl and Esther Krieser; sister Ruth Krieser Kumbier; and brother-in-law Leroy Kumbier. 

A viewing will be held Thursday, May 23, 2019, 7–8 p.m., at the Tate Mortuary, 110 S. Main St., Tooele, Utah.

Danny was a huge part of the community and gave back to those in need. He was a very active member of the Loyal Order of the Moose, as well as a member of the Fraternal Order of the Eagles. You could always find him participating in several golf scrambles, volunteering, and working around the golf course. His love for others, and golf, as well as his giving heart and spirit are what made Danny well respected and loved. During the warmer months, you would always find Danny working on the local golf course keeping the grounds up; something he loved dearly.
