Ellis, John Jones John Jones Ellis 1/31/1959~10/30/2005 John Jones Ellis passed away October 30, 2005 in Boston, Mass. Born on January 31, 1959 in Salt Lake City, Utah, son of Wallace Hague Ellis and Sue Jones Ellis. In his early years John worked hard doing science fair work projects, practicing the piano, and becoming an Eagle Scout. He was a graduate of Highland High School and attended Northwestern University where he received a B.A. in 1981. He continued his education and received a JD from Boston University and a L.L.M. (taxation) from New York University School of Law in 1985. John practiced law in Boston for 20 years and was currently a member of the Law firm of Gesmer Updegrove. He enjoyed his profession and worked diligently pursuing excellence in all that he did. Among the degrees on his office wall was a certificate of award from Rosslyn Heights Elementary for perfect attendance in 1968. This was always an item of interest and amusement with colleagues and clients. John's sense of adventure began at a young age with summers at Bear Lake and trips with the family. He loved all water sports especially water skiing and in later years scuba diving, snorkeling and kayaking. He also enjoyed snow skiing and hiking in the beautiful mountains of Utah. John's love of travel was another interest that took him to destinations all over the world. Whether climbing the glaciers of Torres del Paine, running white water in Costa Rica or exploring the wonders of the Okavanga Delta in Botswana, John experienced every minute to the fullest. John had a wide host of friends in Boston, across the U.S. and all over the world. His loyalty and generosity were well known as was his lightening bolt wit. He will truly be missed but the memories are enduring. "John stories" will be told for years and always with a smile and a laugh. He is survived by his parents Hague and Sue Ellis, his brother Daniel, sisters Elaine (Henry Wurts) and Mary Ann (Brad Cassell) two darling nieces Emma and Madeline. Also survived by aunts, uncles and cousins whom he loved and enjoyed all his life. Private funeral services and a celebration of John's life will be held November 9th in Utah and a memorial will be held in Boston at a later date. Funeral Directors, Lindquist's Ogden Mortuary.

Parry, Robert Douglas Robert Douglas Parry 5/1/1925 ~ 11/3/2005 After decades of debilitating pain, Robert D. Parry (80) passed away on November 3, 2005. He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on May 1, 1925 to Virgil A. (Xenia) Parry and Delpha Jane Jacobsen, who lived only the first five years of her last child's life. He grew up in boarding houses and various homes in the Avenues in Salt Lake City and in southeastern Idaho (Montpelier and Pocatello), served his country for over three years in the US Army, and spent two 1/2 years in post-war Great Britain on a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some of his closest friendships were formed there, especially with President Selvoy J. Boyer, who became a second father to him, and with Alan Swan, for whom the family will be eternally grateful. Indeed, the Lord smiled on him throughout his life through friends who loved him in the way that Christ both envisioned and epitomized during his mortal ministry. He married Lou Wana Marie Grundvig on January 19, 1951 in the Salt Lake Temple, and they became the parents of eight children, two of which died while still very young. They eventually made their home in Sandy, after their first years in Idaho (Moscow and Montpelier). He studied English at the University of Utah and law at the University of Idaho, and was a claims adjustor for a time with Aetna Life and Casualty and Preferred Risk. In his later years he took particular delight in serving as an ordinance worker in the Salt Lake Temple. He had tremendous talent and love for the art of photography. Remaining are his wife, who did for him all that God could possibly have asked her to do; six children: Trae, Ruth Elizabeth Berrett (Richard), Gordon Robert Parry (Maren), Joseph Douglas Parry (Catherine), Rachel Ann Parry, and Rhea Jane Unferdorfer; 14 grandchildren. Awaiting him on the other side of eternity were his daughters, Kita Kita Brenna Parry (4) and Kirsten Marie Parry (seven precious hours). Funeral Services will be held Monday, Nov. 7, 2005 at 11:00 a.m. at the Mount Jordan 1st Ward Chapel, 8950 S. 400 E., Sandy, Friends may call at the church on the day of services from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. Interment: Salt Lake City Cemetery. Published in the Deseret News from 11/5/2005 - 11/6/2005. Philips, John Reagan John Reagan Philips Tender Soul Born August 2, 1986, a tender and gentle soul, John Reagan Philips, died of a heroin overdose November 3, 2005. John was adopted by Jean Ford Reagan and Peter Woodward Philips on August 21, 1986. John's adopted sister, Jane Reagan Philips came into the family on March 16, 1988. John and his family lived by Liberty Park. John went to the Community Cooperative Nursery School for three years. Kindergarten through sixth grade John went to the Open Classroom located at Washington Elementary School. John attended Clayton for middle school and the City Academy for high school (except his sophomore year when he attended East High School). John spent much of his summers in the Grand Teton National Park sharing time in Lupine Meadows with Paul Kimbrough and his ranger-parents Tom Kimbrough and Barb Eastman. John was especially at home in the outdoors. He was a natural climber, an instinctive fisher, an agile and daring skier and a child with eyes for nature. Once Paul and John were fishing in the Winds and John headed back to camp only to be stalked by a bear. John determined it was a black bear and shouted to chase it away. The bear turned tail only to head straight for Paul turning aside at the last moment. John had a deeply loving and close relationship with his sister. Every day she felt lucky to have him as her brother, her guide, her hero. They almost never fought. They were close in age and played together with exploration and joy. He helped her catch her first fish on a fly pole at Lake Solitude in the Tetons. He held her hand through life. John and his mother Jean were two peas in a pod. Considerate and empathic, never competitive, John and Jean were equally and similarly liked by all for their consideration, kindness and love. As a young child, John did not like to be separate from his parents. He did not like day care. He didn't even like to be left in the car while you went in to pay for gas. His mother quit her job at the phone company when John was three in order to be a full time mother and the connection between John and his mom was deep and intimate. John and his father Peter explored the outdoors together. They fished and hiked and camped. John was born with a deformed lower vertebra. When John was nine, he and his father traveled around the country consulting with physicians about surgery for this condition. Eventually the surgery was done locally at the Primary Children's hospital, and it was remarkably successful preserving John from pain for the rest of his short life. In eighth grade John met a special girl, Jessica. They shared a special love that grew for the next five years. Jessica and John lived in the Tetons with John's father who had become a park ranger and Jessica lived with us as part of the family. For reasons we do not understand, starting in eighth grade John started getting involved with drugs, mostly marijuana. He worked with his parents and his family and Jessica to control or resist this involvement but he also gave into it as well. By 11th grade things started getting more serious first with alcohol and then with heroin. Heroin stole John first from his family, then from his friends, then from all who loved him. Early Thursday morning, heroin stole John from himself. Our hearts go out to all that loved John including his birth parents. We are so sorry. When John was little, he did not want his father to leave for the University to give his lectures. But knowing dad would go, John would plead "Don't forget to talk about me!" We never will. Friends may gather to remember John at City Academy, 2416 E. 1700 S., (801-596-8489), Sat. Nov. 5th, at 4 p.m. A potluck will follow. The family wishes donations in John's memory to be made to "City Academy" via any Wells Fargo Bank. Published in the Deseret News from 11/4/2005 - 11/5/2005.
