Ator, Clark B.
Clark B. Ator, D.O. 9/29/65 ~ 10/19/04  Clark Brenton (Brent) Ator passed from
this life October 19, 2004 in a tragic airplane accident in Kirksville,
Missouri. A beloved husband, father, son, brother, bishop, doctor, and friend,
he lived a life filled with love and service matched by few. He is survived by
his sweet wife and best friend, Karlene; children, Kelsey (14), Zachary (12),
Mikaela (10), Cebrina (8), Carissa (5), Cedric (4), Arianna (5 months);
mother, Gloria; father, Brad; brother, Nathan; sisters, Gayle, Dana, and Jan;
grandparents; and a host of others too numerous to mention.  For Clark there
was always time for a generous hug, a kind word, or a wrestling match with
anyone who wanted to take him on. Quick with a smile and laughter he spread
light and warmth to anyone who was blessed to be in his presence. His constant
concern for others made him the perfect confidante, friend, and counselor. He
faced everything that life gave him, and any problem that was brought to him,
with a calm patience and serenity that immediately put those he was helping at
ease, and gave them the confidence that all would be right. Clark touched
lives everywhere he went. Those he served as a physician, bishop, or friend
knew the love, compassion, and dedication only a man who knew his Savior and
loved his fellowman could give. Those of us who knew him and felt of his
spirit will miss him greatly and love him forever. "For there is a time
appointed for every man, according as his works shall be." (D&C 121:25)
Funeral services for Clark will be held Thursday, October 28, 2004 at 12 noon
in the Alpine Stake Center Chapel, located at 98 East Canyon Crest Road,

Jarman, John W.
John W.Jarman "Jack"  John W. Jarman, salesman, businessman, and
philanthropist died in an automobile accident while going to work on October
20, 2004.  Jack was born to Walter and Cuba Jarman in Omaha Nebraska on
February 8, 1922. He spent his early years on a Nebraska farm before moving to
California. In 1937 the family moved to Salt Lake City and he entered East
High as a sophomore. In 1942 he enrolled at the University of Utah (he was a
proud member of Beta Theta Pi). He left the "U" to enter the Army Air Corp,
where he was a link trainer instructor at Randolph Air Force Base, Texas,
until 1945 when he was discharged. In February 1943 he married Helen Hope
Brown; he and Helen were married until her death in 1996. Jack loved and
excelled at sports throughout his life, including track and field, skiing,
fishing, and especially golfing at the Salt Lake Country Club. He will be
remembered for his and Helen's, philanthropic efforts to a number of varied
organizations including the Ballet West, Health Sciences Center at the
University of Utah, Neighborhood House, Red Butte Gardens, Rowland Hall-Saint
Marks School, the Salt Lake Art Center, Utah Symphony and Opera, the YWCA
among many others. He was also on the Board of Directors of a number of these
organizations and was particularly proud of his work with Rowland Hall and the
Salt Lake Art Center.  He and his wife Helen were avid art collectors,
especially Western and Utah art, and loved supporting The Utah Museum of Fine
Arts. He not only supported the arts, he was an artist of note; his best-known
piece was the original Mr. Spudnut. As important as the organizations that
Jack supported, were the numerous individuals that he also helped in one way
or another; many people benefited from his friendship and support. In 1998 he
began going with an old friend Mimi Mortensen. Mimi was his dear friend and
companion. In this new phase of his life he and Mimi went on many wonderful
adventures. The family cannot express their gratitude to her for making the
last years of his life so full. Jack lived a life of giving and the joy. He
was a true gentleman. We celebrate the greatness of his life and how grateful
we were to be his children, grandchildren, and friend. When a man has lead
such a magnificent life you cannot mourn his death, only celebrate it. He is

Jane (William C.) Weyher, Walter (Karen); 10 grandchildren and three
great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be held Thursday, October 28, 2004
