aka Kevin White, was born Nov. 5, 1973 in Santinagar, Bengal, India, of Nepali
and Bengali parents, both lepers. He was abandoned to the Sisters of Charity
at his mother's death, but at age 7, the Sisters sent him to a Dickensian
orphanage in Calcutta called "Boys Town." His legs bore scars from a beating
for having eaten fruit from a mission tree. He stole pennies to buy tickets to
see Hindi movies. To rescue him from priestly molestations and abuse, Adam was
included in a catalogue of boys available for adoption. Chosen because he
played the violin, he left India in 1985 and was sealed to Scott Hancock and
Mary Beth Clark in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on Jan. 11, 1986. He played soccer
on the UYSA "Red Devils" team, winning a regional championship. He was an
Eagle Scout and attended Jamboree with Reid, his dearest bro.' He set Brighton
High records on the track team and continued his affair with the violin. He

poorest of the poor, teaching people living in boxes and huts. He found Hector
DeKoster, a five year old with a congenital heart defect and helped bring him
to Utah to receive life saving surgery. Many of his best friends were Mexican
Saints. He was briefly married to Tielynn Chisholm and later sealed to Nicole
Chidester in the Bountiful LDS Temple. Caleb Adam, Caden Scott, and Cassandra
Nicole were born to this union. These children were the light and purpose of
his being. But he was tormented by the demons of his youth and he fought a
lifelong struggle against bigotry, hypocrisy and clinical depression.
Divorced, humiliated, despondent, and with an unfilled prescription, he lost
the battle when he took his own life on Friday, Nov. 18, 2005. He is survived

also counseled in most towns that were served by the center in Richfield,
Utah. Many were helped by his expertise and loving spirit. After he graduated
a second time from the University of Utah with an PHD, he contributed much to
his chosen serving profession. He established an Alaskan program where he and
his colleges helped high school drop outs. He helped establish a Native
American Social Work Program where many wonderful people were trained to help
in their home tribes and areas. This included training the people in Australia
he served where he taught at W.A.I.T. University. He also served Peace Corps
as an assessment officer for Ethiopia and assessed the program there. Scouting
was important to Ken as he trained many young men. His troop from Midvale
excelled in many scout skills and jamborees. He also had a troop in Butler and
his 5 sons all earned the rank of Eagle. In his spare time he ran a small
orchard. He loved to fish and hunt with his family and friends, especially in
Alaska. Ken was an active member of the Latter-day Saint Church. He served as
Bishop and Stake Counselor in the Butler Stake and Patriarch in the Butler and
Draper, Utah Crescentview stakes. He also served many teaching positions in
Butler, Sandy, Marriott and Perth, Australia. He was Mission President in the
Albuquerque, New Mexico Mission and served missions in Fort Apache, Arizona,

Nebeker, Conrad Hansen        
Conrad Hansen Nebeker 1930 ~ 2005 Conrad Hansen Nebeker died suddenly November
21st during a morning of hard work on his beloved Indian Creek Ranch at Bear
Lake. He was born in Salt Lake City on June 14, 1930 to La Rue Hansen and
Sidney J. Nebeker, who raised him on South Eden Ranch at Bear Lake. After his
father's death, he continued to ranch with his grandfather and ride saddle
broncs. He wintered at East High (class of '48), where he was a state track
champion. He served a mission in Australia and then volunteered for the Army
during the Korean War. While attending the University of Utah, he met Carolyn
Rich, his loving wife of 47 years. They were married by David O. McKay in the
Salt Lake Temple on August 8, 1958. Conrad graduated from the University of
Pennsylvania and trained in internal medicine at San Francisco General
Hospital, University of Iowa, and the University of Utah. For over 30 years,
he practiced solo internal medicine in Ogden. Making frequent housecalls and
volunteering regularly at the Rescue Mission, he loved his patients
generously. He was proud that Medicare cited him for charging his patients too
little. Conrad was a visionary. Among other businesses, he established the
first retirement home and opened the first salad-bar restaurants in northern
Utah. He invented a rotary engine, car turntable, prostate shrinker, and
microwave pothole fixer. His most ambitious project was to move Hong Kong to
the Baja Peninsula in the late 1980's. Just recently, he was working on a
sustainable solution for nuclear waste disposal. Always hard at work, he moved
sprinkler pipe, bucked bales, and remodeled houses until the day he died. He
found creative expression building large water features and whimsical
structures such as the Bear Lake Monster, the Shoe House, and the Ranch Hand
truck stop that featured his hand-made, barbed-wire chandeliers. He is
survived by his wife Carolyn Rich Nebeker and his four sons Jonathan Rich
Nebeker (Melinda), Jason Rich Nebeker (Cindy), Michael Rich Nebeker (Reyna),
Adam Rich Nebeker (Heidi) his 11 grandchildren, and his three siblings Sidney
