were her first love. She took great pleasure in attending to every detail

of washing the entire team's uniforms. She basked in their success and loved

the Primary, Young Women and Relief Society in her ward and in teaching

Horsley, David Joseph         
David Joseph Horsley 1958 ~ 2005 One of the lessons cancer teaches us is that
each day is a unique and precious gift. David Joseph Horsley, age 47, died
Oct. 3rd of Pancreatic Cancer. Though young, he was a man who lived an
uncommon life and lived it to the very limits of his longing. He did not need
to learn how valuable each day was, as he already knew. He had learned early
that life is magic. Even before cancer, he was busy teaching us to laugh early
and often - to use our spirits to wonder and to stretch our abilities to fly.
In short, he understood the magic each day can bring. He lived his life
simply, according to the things he believed in, and never gave up any
experience for anything less than it could be. David always thought most
people pass through life as though they are asleep and he wanted to be awake
for every moment. His odd sense of humor reminded us of a very honest point of
view and open tolerance of people of all walks of life. It made us want to see
the magic as well. It is the gift he leaves with us today. He was born Oct.
3rd, 1958, and magically passed from the loving arms of his birth parents to
the arms of his true parents, Allen and Louise Horsley. He lived most of his
life in Bountiful, Utah, growing up along the banks of Mill Creek, where he
explored and fostered a sense of adventure. It was there that he first dreamed
of exotic lands, imagining the grit of African sands and taste of sea spray.
Never did he dream that he would dine with a five star General of the Kyber
Rifles, roam above the Arctic Circle in Iceland, snowball fight with Chinese
Police on the Great Wall or ride an elephant with a Maharaja! Never one to
excel in school, he chose a different path to learning. After attending
Bountiful High School, he dropped out of the University of Utah in 1977 to
pursue a dream of traveling. He had taken his first trip abroad at the age of
16. In 1978-79, he was trapped in Iran during the American Hostage crisis, and
it was formative in how he treated people. A student of the world, he learned
not to think of people's differences, but rather in terms of what we share:
this rare earth and our own humanity. His fervent hope was to travel to all
seven continents, but he only reached five, including some 46 countries and
the 50 United States. He gained friends in all parts of the world and valued
his contacts with them through the years. Rarely, did he lose contact with
someone, and so he had many lifelong friends that he counted as family. David
married his childhood sweetheart, Julia Phillips, on March 29th, 1980. Married
for 25 years, they had known each other for almost 40. Soul mates, they shared
the secret that anything broken can be made whole again with love. They began
married life at Grand Canyon, Arizona, where David was a Tour Bus Driver.
Though they were proud of their Bountiful historic family home and Garden,
their spiritual home was always at the "canyon," where the beauty and awe
captivated them both. They had a lifetime of exploring the red rock canyons of
the Cedar Mesa, and the ruins within them. While home, they loved to fish the
High Uintas and prepare elaborate dinners in spectacular settings. Dinner at
the Horsley home was a gastronomic delight with way too many courses topped
off by his famous cheesecakes. They also lived a short time in Berkeley, CA,
and retain many friends and warm memories from those days. David held many
jobs in his lifetime, from delivery driver, hospital security guard, and
selling Navajo rugs. Most jobs were a means to an end and of course that was
to travel. He owned and operated RugRat Toys with his wife for 20 years and
immensely enjoyed traveling and meeting people all over the US. He worked for
the US Postal Service for 17 years, finally ending up at the BMEU. He was also
a fixture at Pioneer Park on Saturday mornings for the Farmer's Market, where
he helped his wife with "Consider The Lilies." We owe a debt of gratitude to
both the Post Office and Farmer's Market folk who became our loving and
supportive community, especially in his last days. Preceded in death by his
mother, Louise Horsley, and brother Joseph Horsley, as well as many cherished
friends and relatives. He is survived by his wife Julia, father Allen,
step-mother Margaret, and two Godchildren, Kaitlynn Holmen and Donovan Burns.
Though diagnosed with late stage cancer and only given a short time, he faced
each day with courage and humor that were uncommon, and drew many more into
his circle of friends. He often had Medical personnel in stitches with his
jokes, stretching out his time here to two years. Unhappy with his treatment
at one of the major Utah cancer treatment centers, he switched to Utah Cancer
Specialists. He understood that the unseen world is so much bigger than the
world which is seen, and that was reflected in the amount of time he lived
after diagnosis. He urged everyone with Cancer to find a place to be treated
with dignity, knowledge and humanity. He especially asked us to never forget
that we all live Downwind. We can never begin to thank the doctors and nurses
at UCS and St. Mark's who had the courage to be our friends in this journey.
We are especially indebted to Rosie and all of the folks at Interventional
Radiology. Please join us in a memorial service to be held in the Orangerie at
Red Butte Gardens on Friday, Oct. 7. Friends may call from 6-7 p.m. Service
begins at 7. (You know he always hated to be disturbed before noon!) Enjoy the
flowers there, and send some if you like. David could not imagine a funeral
without flowers and that life is not measured by the number of breaths we
take, but rather by the number of moments that take our breath away!

Robert Driggs Todd 1928 ~ 2005 Robert (Bob) Driggs Todd, beloved husband,
father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend, died peacefully on October
3, 2005 at the University of Utah Medical Center surrounded by his family. He
fought a courageous three-week battle to recover from injuries sustained when
a portion of brickwork collapsed on him while he was doing what he loved best;
giving service to others. He was born to Douglas McLain Todd and Margaret Grey
Burton on February 14, 1928 in Copperton, Utah. His youth was spent in Utah,
Colorado, Wyoming and Arizona. During high school he excelled at football and
was always proud of his days with the Mesa High School Jackrabbits. Not long
after high-school he married Sharlimae Clouse (later divorced). Together they
had six children. Shortly after his graduation from Arizona State University
the Army drafted him for service during the Korean War. Because of his
training as an educator he served as an instructor at Fort Ord, California.
After his discharge from the Army he taught 5th and 6th grades in the Arcadia,
California Unified School District. He received recognition as a top educator
in the district and received the Peach Award for excellence. In 1967 he moved
to Bountiful where he accepted a position with the Davis County School
District. He taught 5th and 6th grade in the Bountiful area for many years.
During the last 10 years of his teaching career he certified in special
education. He found great fulfillment in helping children with unique
challenges learn and grow. Bob retired in 1990 after serving 37 years as an
educator. He was a life-long member of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints and served in many positions within the church. Through the
church he was able to express his love of youth and the outdoors. He served
for many years as a scouter. His great-grandsons called him "the scoutmaster."
Through his guidance many young men achieved Eagle Scout, including his own
three sons. Bob married Beverly LaRue Budd Hyde in 1986 and together they
blessed the lives of both families. They served missions at the Johannesburg,
South Africa Temple, to the Nebraska Omaha mission (where he served as Branch
President of the Fairbury, Nebraska branch), and at the Nauvoo, Illinois
Temple. He served as Branch President at the Heritage Retirement Center in
Bountiful where he enjoyed the opportunity to provide comfort and spiritual
guidance to the special people there. The Bountiful Temple was a special love.
He served as an ordinance worker and volunteer engineer and delighted in
helping keep the temple lighted and in good repair. Although his
accomplishments in his career and official assignments were many, he will be
most remembered for his good-nature, humor and continual service to family,
friends and neighbors much of which was given anonymously. His recreational
loves were the outdoors, football, and tennis with Beverly. Bob is survived by
his wife Beverly of 19 years, by his brothers Ira (Pat), Burton (Phyllis),
Byron (Dale), by his sisters, Florence Britsch, Alice Braithwaite, and Norma
Mabey, his children, Charles (Suzanne), Kathy Maio (Sam), Keith (Sue), David

great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents, his sisters
Elaine Page and Beth Snow and his brothers-in-law Royden Braithwaite, Gordon
