I, Kimball Max Johnson, passed away May 22, 2019. I was born to Max and Erna Johnson April 20, 1950. My brothers are Peter, Russell and Bill Johnson.

I have made my decisions, which are known to my remaining family members: Crystal Stearns, my daughter and her husband, Mike Stearns and my grandson, Trevor. My son Ben passed away last year.

I loved the outdoor activities with hunting, fishing and observing the wildlife. I loved being in the mountains along a river to enjoy the sunset or the smell of a flower or frost on the trees. The simple things in life have meant the most to me; my children, my close friends, my parents, relatives and the women I care about. I loved learning about things in nature, cultures or transposing myself into a good book, an atlas of using the internet to take a trip. I like taking on Herculean tasks that others said I could not possibly do and achieving them. Those who were closest to me know what these tasks were.

Kimball was preceded in death by his parents, Erna Andersen and Maxwell A. Johnson; son, Ben Johnson. He is survived by his daughter, Crystal (Mike) Stearns; grandson, Trevor Stearns; his step-daughter, Angie Peterson (Matt Mander); brothers, Russell (Julie), Bill (Mary Ann) and Peter Johnson.

We will be gathering at the rectangular pavilion at the Grantsville City Park, 130 E. Cherry St., Grantsville, Utah, on Saturday, June 8, 2019, from 6–9 p.m. Please bring your own chair/blanket/food.

Brent Clifford Griffith, age 51, passed away from a heart attack May 27, 2019, in the University of Utah MICU.

Brent is survived by his wife, Christine Griffith; his two children, Ashlee (TJ) Ciura and Scott Griffith (20); his two grandchildren, AJ Ciura (3) and Mavis Ciura (8 weeks); his mother and stepfather, Kyle and Mary Swallow; his father and stepmother, Scott and Susan Griffith; six brothers and sisters, Bryan (Jamie) Griffith, Rabecca (Scott) Clark, Gina Arnold, Liesl (Stephen) Nelson, Niels (Natalie) Griffith and Cody (Randi) Griffith; and several nieces and nephews.

Brent was born in Nurnberg, Germany on Sept. 3, 1967, to Scott and Mary Griffith. As a child he loved to hunt, ski, dirt bike and 4 wheeling. He graduated from Taylorsville High School, class of 1985.

He fulfilled his life-long dream of becoming a police officer in 1995 when he joined the Midvale Police Department. He later transferred to the West Jordan Police Department and proudly served there until 2003; his 10-year career in law enforcement ended due to back injuries he sustained from being hit by a fleeing fugitive.

Brent was an amazing kind man with a heart of gold. He would have given you the shirt off his back. He had a great sense of humor and always kept us laughing and made sure we always had a smile on our face, even though since the accident he suffered from chronic back pain.

Brent’s grandchildren were the light of his life and brought him immeasurable amounts of joy. Our last time being together as an extended family was when he had the honor of blessing his granddaughter as a proud grandfather.

We are very grateful for the support he received from his close friends and ward members. Friends and family are invited to attend funeral services at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, June 4, at the LDS Church, 415 W. Apple St., Grantsville, Utah.

She moved to May, Idaho, where her family operated a ranch. She boarded in Blackfoot while attending school because the ranch was in a remote location and attending school was difficult.

She married Farrell Terry on May 8, 1948, in Salmon, Idaho. They are the parents of three children, Mary (Kevin Offret) Brown of West Valley City, Utah; Ed (Junette) Terry of Huntington; Patsy (Willie) Stoddard of Huntington.

She lived in May, Idaho for a time after her marriage. She worked alongside her husband on various ranches in the Pahsimeroi Valley.

They lived in Howe, Burley, Evanston, Tremonton, Grantsville, Blanding, Bluff and Huntington. After retirement they settled in Tooele, Utah.

Grammie enjoyed gardening, growing flowers, yard work and cooking. She loved to read. She enjoyed fixing her own meals and taking care of herself. She lived on her own for 31 years after Farrell’s death where she always mowed her own lawn, sometimes the neighbor’s lawn, and did her own snow removal. She was very independent. She pulled more weeds than anyone in Tooele. She enjoyed her trips to Huntington to see her grandsons. She loved watching them play sports and grow up. She loved her family and family gatherings. She never missed a birthday or graduation; there was always a card or gift in the mail. She was very thoughtful and caring to everyone.

She was famous for her Grammie Rolls, Grammie’s Christmas Cookies and homemade ice cream. She was a devout Catholic who attended church each Sunday. 

We will miss you Grammie. Rest in peace until we meet again.

A Gem Beyond Price

There is a gem I highly prize

I see it each morning when I rise

It can be soft and warm, or hard and cold

No matter what age, it will never be old

It is there to help when times are bad

And only through this gem can good times be had 

I will protect and defend this gem all through my life

For you see, this precious gem is my wife!

Micah Dalton Hepworth, age 45, passed away June 9, 2019, in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Micah was born, along with his twin sister Mieka, on May 10, 1974, in Tooele, Utah, to Ardith Dalton and Steven Hepworth. His family home was in Burley, Idaho, where great love and service was extended by the Pella 2nd Ward. 

A premature birth by two and a half months resulted in difficulties for both, but Micah sustained significant mental and physical disabilities due to bleeding in his brain.

From age six he lived in group homes for special needs children in Gooding, Wendell, and Meridian, Idaho. At the time of his death he resided at Teton Post Acute Care and Rehabilitation in Idaho Falls, Idaho.

His disabilities became progressively more pronounced thus impairing sight, speech, and movement, which rendered him to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

In spite of his difficulties, he inspired, teased, loved, and found laughter in everyday activities and in exchanges with family members and care center staff.

Micah is survived by his mother, Ardith Dalton; father, Steven Hepworth (Jodi); siblings, Mieka Lords (Jeff), Tyler Hepworth (Rachelle), and Shawn Hepworth (Lindsey); and numerous nieces and nephews.

On May 8, 1950 Sheryl Jane (Ted) was born; the last of four girls to Geraldine A. Orr and George L. Wright. She grew up with her sisters Mary Ann, Marjorie Jean, Christine Adair and her nephew, who was more like a little brother, Kevin. 

Sheryl was raised in a humble home on Cooley Lane, where her parents taught her the values of welcoming, loving and accepting others. Their home was a home to many and is remembered fondly to this day. There she acquired and perfected many of her talents and skills. She was a cook, seamstress, gardener, scrapbooker, quilter, hostess, organizer and leader. 

In May of 1968, Sheryl graduated from Grantsville High school, where she participated in the drill team and cheerleading. In 1969, she married Brent Lee Peterson and together they had three children. They divorced in 1982 and remained friends. In 1992 Sheryl met Gerald Douglas Webster while working at the Tooele Army Depot. They married Aug. 5, 1993, made their home on Cooley Lane and together raised their granddaughter Kaylie.

A never ceasing amount of love lived in Sheryl’s heart. Whether it regarded her children, grandchildren, her husband, Gerald, friends, or animals, her door was always open to anyone who needed a friend and a warm meal. She counseled and cared, she prayed and helped, she emulated the Savior perfectly in the way she loved others. She was a mother and caregiver to those who weren’t naturally hers. Many call her mom. Even the goats and little lambs who came to her call from her back pasture.

Sheryl loved Grantsville and especially Cooley Lane. In fact, that’s where you could usually find her. When asked one day if she could go anywhere in the world her response was, “I have everything I could ever want right here,” as she was surrounded by her grandchildren in her backyard during a summer afternoon. Sheryl and Gerald have a beautiful home where their family meets at least every Sunday for dinner. Sheryl loved nothing more than to be surrounded by her family and spending time with them. She and Gerald loved taking walks up and down the lane, and spent a lot of time together doing simple things. They spent 27 wonderful years together. 

On Tuesday, June 18, 2019, Sheryl passed peacefully from this life, surrounded by her family. She battled cancer for the last two and a half years. All her doctors said how lucky she was for the time she did have. Usually the type of cancer she had took people much quicker. We will forever be grateful and inspired for the fight she had in her. She is the strongest woman we know.

Sheryl was preceded in death by her parents; oldest sister, Mary Ann Bachtell; and brothers -in-law, Karl Anderson and Earl Bachtell. She is survived by her husband, Gerald; sisters, Marge Anderson, and Christine (John) Fidler; her children, Nick (Vikki) Peterson, Camille (Kenny) Curtis, Alison (Nick) Crosby, Kaylie (Treavor) Buhl, Parker (Cassie) Peterson; stepchildren, Joel (Misty) Webster, Ginger Rae Webster; grandchildren, Melissa (Kyle) Knight, Kenzie Fait, Ashlynn (Zach) Rucker, Paige Peterson, Olivia and Sophia Crosby, Kynlee and Baylor Peterson, Hayden and Jace Webster; great-grandchildren, Trig, Tripp and Millie Buhl, Sara Knight and Annalise Webster. 

Services for Sheryl will be held Saturday, June 22, 2019. A visitation will be held at the Grantsville Stake Center on Cherry Street at 11 a.m., followed by a service at 1 p.m. Interment will follow at the Grantsville City Cemetery.

Robert married his lifelong sweetheart, Delsa Jeanette Larsen, on Friday the 13th of March 1970. They were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple in 2007. Together they loved traveling, camping, and spending time with family.

Rob enjoyed watching classic western movies, especially those starring John Wayne. He always looked forward to hunting season with his brothers, sons, grandson and nephews. He also enjoyed embarrassing others by always asking for a senior discount. Towards the end of his life one of his greatest highlights was being able to serve his Heavenly Father by going to clean the Salt Lake Temple. Rob had a big heart and would help anyone in need. As one friend has said, “Rob made being his friend easy.” Rob is loved by many and will be greatly missed.

Shane (Tamara) Powell, Brandon (Rebecca) Powell; daughter, DayNa (David Jr.) Cooley;  nine grandchildren, Lindsey (Mark) Soffe, Jacob (Emily) Powell, Whitney Powell, Madison (Carlos) Gomar, Samantha (Farrell) Burggraaf, Savannah, Emma and Olivia Powell; step-grandson, David Cooley III; two great-grandchildren, Kennedy and Harrison; siblings, Charlene (LaMont) Burningham, Doug (Debby) Brown, Earl (Betty) Brown, Marie (Wayne) Christiansen, Garn (Carol) Brown, Mark (Marilyn) Unsworth, Leila (Brandon) Bowen; and many nieces and nephews and other family members.
