Ike was born October 11, 1918 in Sunset, Utah to Ira Walker and Catherina Van Daalen Beesley. He married Afton Stauffer on March 27, 1937 in Ogden. Their vows were later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. He was raised in South Ogden and attended Birch Creek School and Weber High School. He served in the Civilian Conservation Corps and worked for the Union Pacific Railroad and the Utah Power and Light Company where he started as a meter reader and retired in Salt Lake City as a sales representative, where he won many awards. He was instrumental in putting on many home shows for the greater Salt Lake Home Builders Association. He was an avid golfer and worked hard to get the Bountiful City Golf Course built. The "Ike Beesley Classic" is still held yearly at the Bountiful City Golf Course. He was one of the first members of the South Ogden City Volunteer Fire Department where he served as Assistant Chief. Ike always had a desire to live in California. After retirement in 1985, he and Afton moved to Hemet, California and lived there for 10 years. They moved back to South Ogden in 1995. He was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was an excellent teacher and served in a bishopric and was a Seventy and a Stake Missionary in the Bountiful South Utah Stake. He was a very faithful home teacher! He and Afton served an 18 month mission to Nauvoo, Illinois from 1986 to 1987. They were also ordinance workers in the Los Angeles California Temple. He served as a High Priest Group Leader and on the High Council of the Hemet California Stake. He LOVED attending the Ogden Utah Temple where he would ride his bike to and from his South Ogden home most days the temple was open. His testimony of the gospel was sure and complete. Ike enjoyed walking and, as long as his health allowed, would walk each morning. When his memory began failing him, he would often walk two or three times each day, thinking he had not yet taken his walk for that day. Surviving are his wife, Afton, of South Ogden; their son Don (Annette), South Ogden; seven grandchildren and their spouses; 28 great-grand-children; two brothers, Grant (Phyllis) Brown, Hemet, California; Frank (Diana) Preston, Pierce City, Missouri; and a sister, Mary Jane (Forrest) Lloyd, Middleton, Idaho.

The family expresses their deep appreciation for the loving care provided by the IHC Hospice Team of Ogden and the staff at Legacy House of Ogden, Manor Care Center, and Mt. Ogden Nursing Center. Despite the many challenges brought on by dementia and Alzheimer's disease, Ike had a remarkable spirit and love of life, which was evident in all he did. He loved others, especially his family, and most especially his great-grandchildren. We thank him for the knowledge he has given us and know that he will continue to inspire us to continue to do our best. We look forward to the day when we will rejoice with him again.

Bishop, Ralph Ralph Bishop Delta, Ut~ Granite, Ut 2/13/1921~12/18/2005 Our beloved father, Ralph Bishop, joined our dear mother, Reva, in a glorious 64th wedding anniversary after traveling "The Lonesome Highway" without her for only seven weeks. After a lifetime of service to his family, church, community and country, Father left all who knew him a rich legacy of love and devotion to duty. His greatest desires were to see his family and friends happy; and to "walk uprightly before the Lord". Regardless if Father was serving as "Bishop Ralph", Judge Bishop, Elder Bishop in the mission field, Mr. Bishop to his students, or Sgt. Bishop to his World War II comrades, he considered all he met as his "Friend". Never did he turn a "broken heart" or "hurting soul" away from his door. A peacemaker always, he lived what he believed. With gratitude for his many acts of love, service and tenderness, his family and friends publicly acknowledge our debt to him for showing us the right way to live. Truly, he lived our Savior's example. Dad's funeral services will celebrate his life Thursday Dec. 22nd, 11:00 am in the Granite LDS Ward Chapel 9575 South 3100 East Sandy, Utah. Family and friends may show their respects at the Larkin Sunset Gardens 1950 East 10600 South Sandy, Utah, Wed. Dec. 21, 6 to 8 pm and at the Granite Ward 10 am to 10:45 am prior to the service.

Booth, Ron Ron Booth 7/25/47 ~ 12/21/04 God saw you were getting tired, And a cure was not to be, So he put his arms around you, And whispered, "Come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you suffer, And saw you fade away, Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Dad, its been a long year, you've been in our hearts every day & missed dearly. Your loving family, Jodi & Karl, Lisa & John & grandkids, Mom & Dad, sisters and life time friend, Coween.

Schouten, Debbie Gallegos Debbie Gallegos Schouten 1957 ~ 2005 Debbie Marie was born July 15, 1957 in Salt Lake City, UT to Moises and Flora (Herrera) Gallegos. Debbie passed peacefully in the presence of her two loving sons and husband as well as her many close family members on December 19, 2005 in her home. Debbie's courageous spirit held strong through seven years of tribulation with breast cancer. The strength she demonstrated was surpassed only by her love and appreciation for all that life offers. Those around her, especially her family, grew tremendously from the attitude that Debbie demonstrated. She is truly an inspiration. Her passion for life has been transmittable to all who have had the privilege of being near to her. Debbie's exuberance and relentless will to live was evident to anyone with whom she had contact. Her immense love was personified in the bonds she shared with her husband of 29 years, Ben and her two sons Lance and Chad. All three of whom she regards as the loves of her life. Debbie attended Stansbury elementary school, West Lake Junior High, and went on to attend Granger High. Debbie grew up as a self-proclaimed tomboy and developed a love for sports and the outdoors. Debbie particularly loved softball and excelled greatly at racquetball. She continued to play softball and take long bike rides throughout her bought with cancer. Debbie also grew up in an era defined by rock and roll. And that she took advantage of. She always has, and always will be a music lover. Her car stereo blasted; the volume remained loudly cranked until her last days. Rock on! In her adulthood, Debbie could rarely be found at home on summer weekends. She spent the majority of that time high in the Rocky Mountains of Utah with her luxurious trailer. She cherished that trailer nearly as much as the gorgeous natural surroundings that she shared with her closest family members and friends. Additionally, Debbie took pleasure in her mountainous environment during all seasons. Whether it was fall, winter, or spring she could be found basking in the comfort of the cabin in Timberlakes with her brothers and sister and other family members of the like. There she found great pleasure in taking long walks with her sister, dogs, and anyone else willing to stroll along. Travel was among other of life's pleasures where Debbie found solace, especially during her illness. If not in the mountains, Debbie could be found on the shores of Hawaii. Her most recent trip with her family was as recent as October 2005. Debbie not only traveled the world but also voyaged through the hearts of a tremendous number of people with whom she came in contact. The students and faculty of Jordan Hills Elementary were particularly touched by her benevolent natured persona. She was employed there for 20 years as lunch manager up until her passing. The work Debbie performed there reached much deeper than lovingly serving meals to hungry young students. She touched each student and faculty member individually. Debbie's entire family would like to extend a very sincere thank you to the Jordan School District for their love and support during Debbie's illness as well as her healthy time spent with staff and student body alike. She also put in part time work at Cottonwood Hospital Food Service where many friendships also blossomed. The family's deepest gratitude is also extended to Dr. Litton and his entire staff at the Utah Cancer Specialists. These very special people with extraordinary jobs not only provided necessary care for an ill woman, but a comfortable environment where some of Debbie's many friendships were bonded. The love and care that Debbie received there is irreciprocal and unsurpassed. The family's appreciation is immeasurable. On Debbie's behalf, the family would also like to extend thanks to IHC, including at no secondary degree, IHC Hospice. Their compassionate work will not be forgotten. Their sincere concern for Debbie's well being during her last days demonstrated the most loving and empathetic environment any human could possibly provide. Thank you. Debbie is survived by: her loving husband, Ben. Her two sons Lance (Corin, the daughter she never had) and Chad. Her beloved dog, Lady. Her special sister and best friend, Janet (Dave) Puttuck. She had an individual, special bond with each and every one of her brothers: Randy (Linda B), Robert (Linda J), Donald, Junie, Tom and Russell Gallegos. nieces and nephews: Dustin, Stephanie, Lindsay, Brian, Amy, James, Chris, Charmaine (Dom). Grand nephews and Nieces: Dominic, Jonathan, Maxwell and Jayden. The entire Schouten and Taylor families. Preceded in death by her mother Flora and father Moises. A special friend and mentor Danny Smith. We love you Mom! We'll miss you Debbie! We'll see you later, the love of my life! Donations to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation or The Huntsman Cancer Institute in Debbies name will be greatly appreciated and serve in further research in the hunt for a cure.
