Rex Earl Utley
1928 ~ 2003

     Rex Utley, age 74, of Sandy, Utah passed away
peacefully Thursday, July 17, 2003 in Salt Lake City, UT. 

     Rex was born Dec 26, 1928 in Fillmore, UT to Von and Zola Utley. 

     On May
6, 1948, he married Helen Davis, in WY, later solemnized in the Salt Lake
LDS Temple. 

     Rex was the eldest of seven children. He loved the outdoors.
His dream vacation was to go to Alaska on a fishing trip. He was an avid
hunter early in his life. In the last year he told his son-in-law, Lou,
that he now viewed deer as "too cute" to shoot. During the last few years
of his life he became more of an observer than a participant. He was an
avid Jazz fan whether they won or lost. He loved spending time with his
family at Bear Lake and welcomed visitors at his home. Rex sacrificed his
goals, interests, and ambitions to become a husband and caretaker to his
wife and three adopted children, and one biological child. His commitment
to his wife, children, his loving nature, and sense of humor will greatly
be missed by his family. 

     Rex is survived by his four children, Marsha
(Lewis) Hardman-Lundell, Sandy, Sharleen (Mack) Williams, Bluffdale, Sharon
Cohee, West Valley, Lynn (Rose) Utley, Sandy; daughter-in-law, Kaye (Craig)
Sanders, West Valley City; brother, Samuel (Glenna) Utley; and sisters,
Marba (Merlin) Terry, Judy (Larry) Phelps, Joann (John) Jackson, Mary Lou
(Blaine) Buck. 

     Preceded in death by his loving wife, Helen Utley;
father, Von Utley; mother, Zola Utley; infant brother; and cousin, Steve
Utley.

     Services will be Mon. July 21, 2003, 11 a.m. Holbrook Mortuary,
3251 S. 2300 E, where friends may call Mon. 9:45-10:45 a.m. prior to the
service. Interment, Lake Hills Memorial Park.
