Blackwell, Dave
Dave Blackwell 1938 ~ 2004 Dave Blackwell died at home on March 31st; he was
66 years old. He was best known for his newspaper, television and radio
coverage of NBA basketball and the Utah Jazz. For twenty years he hosted Jazz
Talk and also anchored KJZZ TV's Weekly Sports Talk Show. Last year, Dave was
inducted into the Utah Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame. Dave was a
consummate interviewer who could get reluctant guests to talk about
themselves, and he was able to fill time on the air by himself with his
stories, quick wit, literary references, and incisive criticism. His
one-liners became legendary, and he never failed in making people laugh. He
also devoted his considerable talents to numerous charities, and served for
years as the master of ceremonies for the Muscular Dystrophy Association
telethons. Dave moved to Salt Lake City in 1973 to become the sports director
for KTVX Channel 4. While at that station he also hosted Blackwell's People,
which allowed him to move from the sports arena to interview authors,
politicians, musicians, and celebrities of local and national renown. From
KTVX he became a sports writer for the Deseret News where he began his
coverage of the Jazz. His 45-year broadcasting career began at WMTV in
Madison, WI; he was the sports director at KMTV in Omaha, NE, before coming to
Salt Lake City. Dave was born in Milwaukee, WI, on September 26, 1938. He grew
up in Illinois, Ohio, and Wisconsin, before attending the University of
Wisconsin in Madison. At the university he played baseball and had a one-bout
intercollegiate boxing career. He was an avid reader and a lover of jazz
music. He saw himself as an accomplished fisherman, and he took great personal
delight in being a member of the Screen Actors Guild. An avid pet lover, he
often rescued animals from the pound and made them part of the family. Dave
was a terrific father who infused his household with humor. He is survived by
two children, David (San Francisco) and Julie (Seattle), and three
grandchildren. His brother, Phil, lives in Chicago. They all miss him dearly,
and his absence will leave a void in each of their lives. In lieu of flowers,
the family requests that any donations be made to the Utah Chapter of the
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (www.cff.org). A memorial service will be held in
early May.

Chartier, Duane D.
Duane D. Chartier 1928 ~ 2005 Duane D. Chartier passed away on March 22, 2005,
from natural causes. Duane was born on May 2, 1928 to Pearl and Sylvia
Chartier in Clifton, Kansas. As a boy, he went to school in a one room
schoolhouse, and worked on his dad's farm until he joined the United States
Army at the age of eighteen. Dad was a true patriot. He served his country as
part of the occupation force in Japan and Korea in World War II. After his
honorable discharge, he worked odd jobs in Kansas, until he came to Utah to
visit his father and decided to stay. He then met the love of his life, Glenna
C. Cundick. Some of our fondest memories of dad were his stories about the
trip they made in sixteen below weather to Elko, Nevada to get married. Mom
and dad built the home they would live in for the next 50 years in Kearns to
raise their family. In 1962, he and Glenna's father built a beautiful cabin at
Oaks Park in the Uintah Mountains with their own hands that served as the
backdrop to many years of wonderful memories for both family and friends that
we will never forget. Thank you Dad! Dad also served his country as a mechanic
at the Tooele Army Depot for over thirty years. During his tenure, he received
countless awards for his hard work and innovations. After his retirement, he
and Glenna loved to spend their winters at Fountain of Youth Spa in Niland,
CA, Where they made many lifelong friends. Dad was the hardest worker that I
know. He was always willing to help anyone, whether it was fixing the
neighborhood boys' flat tires, or helping a friend pour concrete. He was never
too busy to help us girls with anything that we needed. Anyone who knew my dad
always commented on the stories that he always chose to tell. He loved his
family dearly. Words can never sum up the type of man our dad was. Duane is
preceded in death by his parents Pearl and Sylvia, his stepmother Gladys, and
his wife, Glenna. He will be sorely missed by his daughters Jan (Jeff)
Zitting, and Kathy (Scott) Richins; and grandchildren James (Gail), Jace, and
Jeremy (Erin) Zitting, Heather and Crystal Richins, and great-grandson,
Michael Zitting. There will be a graveside service at Redwood Memorial Estates
at 6500 South Redwood Road on Saturday, April 9, 2005, at 1:00 p.m., where
friends and relatives can pay their respects.

Egan M.D., Merritt Hatch
Merritt Hatch Egan, M.D. 1918 - 2005 Adieu, valiant physician! Exemplary
father On Thursday, March 31, 2005, at age 86, Merritt Hatch Egan, M.D., died
at home among family and friends after heroically enduring the afflictions of
advanced age. He was the son of Charles Merritt Egan and Clara Rebecca Hatch,
the great-grandson of frontiersman and pony-express leader, Major Howard Egan,
and husband to Marcia Mae White, who attended to him lovingly during his
illness. Dr. Egan grew up in Woods Cross with a worthy respect for the work
ethic. Toiling in the strawberry fields from the age of six, he cultivated the
love of growing things. At age16, he graduated from East High School and
matriculated at the University of Utah. In 1938, he interrupted his studies to
fulfill an LDS mission to the Eastern States. On his return, he courted his
"Bible Girl," Marcia White, and they married in the Salt Lake Temple in June
1941. Throughout their productive and loving marriage he treated his Marcia
with the same respect and devotion he witnessed in his home of origin. Life
became more challenging during World War II in Philadelphia where medical
school demanded his attention. Later, although scarcely established as a
pediatrician in Salt Lake City, he served during the Korean War as a captain
in the U.S. Air Force Medical Corps. Together, he and Marcia reared 11
children, teaching each one to venture forth. Together, they worshipped God.
Together, they played tennis and traveled the world. Together, they strolled
the lanes of life. Board certified in three medical specialties (pediatrics,
adult psychiatry, and child psychiatry), Dr. Egan cared for children and
trained medical students to pursue their careers competently and
compassionately. He also instilled in each of his children a sense of honor
that comes from a life of hard work and devotion to God. He served as Medical
Staff President of Primary Children's Medical Center, on the faculty of
Pediatrics and Psychiatry, University of Utah School of Medicine, Medical
Director, Charter Summit Hospital, consultant to the Osler Institute, and
advisor to the LDS Church Mission Training Center. Dr. Egan's professional
career spanned circa 58 years; he worked until December 2004. As a member of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Merritt served faithfully as
a missionary (Eastern States), scoutmaster, home teacher, Sunday-school
teacher, bishop (Grandview Ward), counselor to two stake presidents (Wilford
Stake), and advisor to the LDS Missionary Department. Reserved by nature,
Merritt was pleased to be accompanied by his spirited and creative wife,
Marcia. His devotion to her modeled to his children and others a generous and
affectionate demeanor. Seven sons and four daughters valiantly assisted their
mother during his illness. In 1995, Dr. Egan wrote and published Pursue What
Matters Most, which is both a summation of his career as a physician and a
father's testament on how best to live the life he loved. The book, intended
as a gift to his children and grandchildren, continues to enrich their lives
as a legacy of what he stood for-life-long learning, spiritual insight, and
making a difference in a troubled, yet glorious world. He is survived by his
wife Marcia, seven sons, Winston (Linda), Wayne (Kathryn), Robin (Mary),
Richard (Sue), Dwight (Leslie), Michael (Mary), Talmage (Julie), four
daughters, Kathleen Voorhees (Hugh), Marsha Dott Ralphs (Lenny), Heather Hyde
(Rod), Natalie Gochnour (Chris), 67 grandchildren, and 52 great grandchildren
with six more announced. Merritt's departure means a change of address where
he is busily engaged even as we meet to celebrate his life. Where he now
resides, his parents and siblings-Mary Ellen Ray, Stewart, Delbert and
Carl-acquaint him with his new surroundings. His interpretation of life gives
us renewed energy to become exemplary Latter-day Saints, for it is written
"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man,
the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." The poet avers
"Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for
thou art not so; For those whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow, Die not."
(1610, John Donne) Indeed, John the Apostle reaffirms "this is life eternal,
that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast
sent." Services for Dr. Egan will be held Tuesday, April 5, 2005 at 12:00 noon
at the Wilford Stake Center, 3080 South 1765 East. Friends may call Monday
evening, April 4, between six and eight at the Wasatch Lawn Mortuary, 3401 So.
Highland Drive, and one hour prior to the service. Interment, Wasatch Lawn.

Parkin, Mary Ileen Soffe
Mary Ileen Soffe Parkin The Messenger On Easter Sunday, March 27, 2005 mother
celebrated the resurrection of the Savior by returning home to His fold. Her
final earthly experience with pneumonia was mercifully short and without great
discomfort. She now is having a wonderful reunion with dad, who preceded her
in death in 1991, and with her parents and siblings, David, Olive, Rhea (Lau),
George and Anne (Buchanan). Born October 14, 1911 in the family home in
Lewisville, Idaho as the youngest child to David Peter and Anna Matilda
Anderson Soffe, mother spent her early years in Lewisville and Rigby, Idaho.
Her family subsequently moved to Bountiful, Utah, where mother had her early
education and graduated from Davis High School. She also graduated from beauty
school and began a career as a hair stylist. Dad, E. Lamar Parkin, saw a
beautiful girl at a dance and the resultant romance led to marriage in the
Salt Lake Temple, September 1, 1933. Their marriage was blessed with four
children, Mary Lou Parkin, James L. Parkin (Bonnie), Bonnie Sampson (Ralph),
Rheanna Lyn Pelton (Dick), and another son and daughter by affection Lex and
Jacoba Lisman. Her progeny has been increased by 12 grandchildren, 35
great-grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren. She also claims many
others whom she loved as children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her
life and the lives of others have been blessed by her strong testimony of
Jesus Christ and her commitment to His gospel. Monthly for nearly fifty years,
mother has written a message of faith and hope and has shared these monthly
messages with her family members and many friends both near and far. Last
Saturday before going to the hospital, mother wanted to be certain her hand
written message had been mailed to her faithful granddaughter, Tamra, for
transcription. It was! Her devotion to many church callings through the years
has also blessed the many whom she has taught and served. She knows the plan
of happiness and where the next phase of life will find her. Mother was
blessed with many talents. Through her artwork, many beautiful scenes were
captured on canvas, exhibited and shared. Experiences of life flowed from her
pen to paper with clarity of expression and beautiful penmanship. Our lives
are enhanced by her many talents. We deeply appreciate the many acts of love
and service so many gave to mother. Thank you. Special thanks to the staff at
the Wellington and the devoted leaders of the Wellington Branch. We especially
thank Coby for being such a wonderful and faithful friend and for her many
acts of kindness. Funeral services will be held Monday, April 4, 2005 at 1:00

among little children. His easy going outlook on life and his lack of
complaint, of his lot in life, made him a pleasure to be around and easy to
serve. It just seemed like you didn't have any problems when you were with
Danny. He took life all in and enjoyed every ounce of it no matter where, no
matter when, and no matter how ill he was. He inspired all of us to follow our

Strebel, Grant A.
Grant A. Strebel 1905 ~ 2005 Grant Anton Strebel died March 29, 2005 of causes
incident to age. He was born in Provo, Utah, June 14, 1905 to Anton and Minnie
Kathryn Strebel. He spent his early life in Provo, Vernal and Salt Lake. He
graduated from West High and attended the University of Utah. Grant served a
mission in German for the LDS Church, then settled in the Bay area of
California, where he met his sweetheart, Jean McDonald. She was his helpmate,
supporter, and admirer throughout the next six decades of their life together.
Grant was a top salesman for New York Life Insurance Co. He was articulate,
interesting and exuded a genuine warmth for people. He never forgot a person's
name. Grant loved to hunt and fish, both in the U.S. and elsewhere. Grant and
Jean loved to travel and made lifelong friends around the world. They were
committed to the LDS Church. Grant is indeed a remarkable person. He was a
supporter of Brigham Young University and a friend of the Monte L. Bean Life
Science Museum at the time the university's collections were gathered from
across campus into the present facility. He was instrumental in obtaining from
Ann Gracchi the Mario Gracchi sea shells, which became the nucleus of a large
and growing shell collection at the museum. Grant worked through his two
brothers-in-law, Junius and Golden Driggs, to finance that important
collection. He was also instrumental in providing the money necessary for its
perpetual curation. Additional funds to form an endowment to the museum have
been contributed in Jean's name. His unselfish contributions will enhance the
education of future generations. Grant spent the last two months of his life
in Bountiful with his nephew, Harold Shafter. He was preceded in death by his
wife, Jean; parents; three sisters and one brother. He is survived by many
nieces and nephews. The family thanks the staff at Avalon Care Center in
Bountiful for the loving care given him during his final hours here on earth.
