Daniel LaVere England “Malink” returned to our Heavenly Father March 6, 2021, with his loving wife by his side.
He was born Nov. 26, 1929, to Albert and Vera England in the home that his father built. He and Florrie raised their family in this same home where he spent the rest of his life creating cherished memories with family and friends.
Dec. 18, 1954, he married Florrie Flinders, who was the love of his life. They enjoyed 66 wonderful years together and were blessed with four children. He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was sealed to his wife and children for time and eternity in the Salt Lake Temple.
During his 91 years Dan attended Central Elementary, Tooele High, Utah State University and the University of Utah. He also served in the Air Force, operated a service station, was employed by Hercules Powder Company, Tooele Army Depot, and worked with his family at a mine in Battle Mountain, Nevada. He enjoyed country music, the outdoors, making jewelry, singing and playing the guitar. He loved competing with his grandchildren in various activities such as throwing tomahawks, shooting guns and playing games. He also enjoyed spending time at the cabin he built “by the seat of his pants” with Florrie always by his side.
Dan is survived by his wife Florence (Florrie); his children, Dan (Yesenia), Carla (Rick) Harless, Bob (Teri), and Julie (Jake) Buzianis; 15 grandchildren; 28 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild. He was preceded in death by his loving parents; two brothers Rulon (Bus) and Grant England; four sisters Lillian Steele, Dorothy Johns, Mary Hullinger Norris and Ruth Shepherd.
The family would like to thank Canyon Home Care and Hospice (Charisa) and all those who provided care for him and kept him in their thoughts and prayers.
This great man will surely be missed by all!
