Gibbs, Charles
Charles Gibbs 1941 ~ 2005 Charles Ray (C.R.) Gibbs, 63, died suddenly but
peacefully at home on January 12, 2005, under a beautiful winter's night sky.
Charlie was born August 10, 1941 in Laramie, WY, the only child of Charles A.
and Dorothy Gibbs. He grew up in the Cowboy State and his early years saw him
active in 4-H and scouting where he attained the rank of Eagle. A very proud
member of Sheridan High School's class of '59, he was active in athletics,
theatre and journalism. It was there that he met Frankie Gillen, though their
romance would wait to blossom until they both attended and graduated from
Sheridan College, where he was student body president from 1960-61. After
honorably serving a Mormon mission to southern California and Arizona, Charlie
would later graduate from BYU in 1965 as the honor student in Communications.
On August 23, 1963 he married Frankie and 11 months later they became a family
of three with the birth of their son, Chad. In 1971, the family added another
member when Scott Breen came to live with them, who Charlie loved as another
son. An avid scuba diver, Charlie led an active and adventurous life that
included whitewater rafting throughout the West, skydiving and motorcycling.
When it came to driving, he was forever a truck man, with Willie Nelson
usually playing on the stereo. Children were drawn to his puckish nature and
he was always the willing jester of their court. Truth be known, Dad was a bit
of a nudist (just around the house, mind you), but when he did dress for the
outside world he thought yellow, purple or orange socks were the height of
fashion. He refused to wear white dress shirts and saw no problem with
sporting a propeller beanie to formal dinners. He was a ready volunteer to
anyone needing assistance. He was a friend to stalled motorists. He loved to
help others with their remodeling projects and was a handy electrician.
Charlie was never afraid to poke a finger in the eye of the powerful. Dad's
talent for refusing to blindly bow to authority was maddening, yet inspiring.
He taught those around him to ask questions, to read between the lines, be
ever observant, to take risk, but never take the little things for granted.
Governors, senators, even a prophet knew that Charlie would tell them what
they needed to know, not what they wanted to hear. He excelled in his career
and many sought his advice when it came to marketing new ideas. For several
years he hosted "Seven Scene," a weekly program on KUED where he interviewed
everyone from Alex Haley and Dr. Joyce Brothers to Benji the Dog. During his
tenure as a spokesman for the Mormon Church, he was instrumental in bringing
them positive national media recognition and publicity. Journalists from
around the country trusted and respected him. He met with three U.S.
Presidents and was active in both Republican and Democratic campaigns.
Candidates mattered more than parties. Dad's spirituality went through a grand
evolution. During the last 14 years he helped others work through their
addictions, and was thankful for all who helped him take those 12 steps. He
said if you wanted to better understand a higher power, skip church and find
someone to help. He ended every nightly prayer with, "Please help me do the
next right thing, and lead me to that person in need." We miss C.R. and he is
gone too soon, but we were blessed to have him as part of our small family. He
is survived by his mom, Dorothy (Sheridan, WY); wife, Frankie; son, Chad
(Quebec, Canada); Scott Breen and his sons Jake, Adam and Chris (Salt Lake
City). He is also survived by half sister Shirley Schmidt (Florida), and many
cousins. Hattie will miss her best friend and afternoon storyteller. He is
preceded in death by his father, Charch, and his favorite adopted yellow lab,
Max. A celebration of his life will be held Monday, January 17 at 11 a.m. at
Grand America in Ballroom A (555 S. Main St. Salt Lake City, UT). Please avoid
wearing white dress shirts, though brightly colored socks are encouraged. A
memorial service will also be held in Sheridan, Wyoming at a later date. In
lieu of flowers, the family asks donations be made to The Haven, Intermountain
Therapy Animals, or to the Sheridan College Foundation, P.O. Box 6328,
Sheridan WY, 82801.

Myer, Ila Marie Lytle
Ila Marie Lytle Myer 1932 ~ 2005 Poet, playwright, mother, wife, and
independent spirit. She saw into our hearts. She described the world with an
exquisite sensibility born in pain and abiding love. Above the glaciered
stone, Above the eyes flow, Frozen into streams. Feeds flame avalanches
devastate, Log jambs, useless even For a tomb. Springs fire Releasing streams
to melt In torrents and run down, Dislodging stone moves Fractionally, from my
prison And I see, finally That nothing wastes. Not windfalls, winter leavings
From her nests, not spent Trees. Not pain. No waste In death--nor in the
Bitter taste, the offering Of suffering Upon the breath. (Excerpt from
"Nothing Wastes" by Ila Marie Lytle Myer) Marie is survived by her husband,
Peter; her children and their spouses, Danae and Clint, Marc and Terry, Seth
and Tina, Paul and Ann, Aaron and Charvel, and Caitlin and Tony; her

crochet, needlepoint, quilting, ceramics, and made her own chocolates. To
everyone's benefit, she lovingly gave most of what she made away and we
treasure her gifts, which celebrate her life. Because her children and
grandchildren were under he tutelage, her many talents will be carried on. Her
favorite time of the year was Christmas. For years, she created theme
Christmas trees, trimmed in hand-made ornaments. Her trademark was her
exquisite Father Christmas'. Mildred loved company and was most happy when
friends and family were at her side. And this is how her life ended; doing
