Anderson, Brent Glade         
Brent Glade Anderson 12/20/66 ~ 09/18/05 Brent Glade Anderson was born
December 20, 1966. Our wonderful son, brother, cousin, uncle, nephew and
friend, died September 18, 2005, in Shreveport, Louisiana. He was a graduate
of Woods Cross High School, and attended the University of Utah. He worked at
the family business "Andy's Self Serve" ever since he was old enough to work
and later became the owner/operator for two years. He was very meticulous and
kept the business running almost to perfection, making sure everything was
always in order. He had great associations with many through the business as
they became another family to him and he cared deeply for his loyal customers.
His decision to start a new life across the country came with mixed emotions
and although we missed having him close to home, he found great joy for a time
in Louisiana. Brent was a very talented writer and poet, and his sense of
humor always kept us in stitches. He could tell a story like no other and
could captivate any crowd with his quick wit and brilliance. He was a very
tender hearted, honest young man, and he was adored by many, especially his
dog, Yeager. We all love Brent so much and he will be greatly missed. He is
survived by his parents, Andy and Faye Anderson; sisters, Tina Parsons, Kristy
Anderson; his adopted grandpa, Dean McFarland; a niece, Heather (Ryan)
McCallister and their son, John; and many other special aunts, uncles, cousins
and friends. He was preceded in death by his grandparents; two infant
brothers, Todd and Dennis; and a sister, Tamera. Funeral services will be held
Wednesday, September 28th, 11 a.m. at the North Canyon 5th Ward, 2505 South
Davis Boulevard, Bountiful, Utah. Friends may call from 6 - 7 p.m. Tuesday
evening at Russon Brothers Mortuary, 295 North Main Street, Bountiful, Utah.
And again one hour prior to services at the church. Interment at Wasatch Lawn
Cemetery in Salt Lake City, Utah. Online condolences at www.russonmortuary.com

Behr, Karla Jean Peterson          
Karla Jean Peterson Behr 1965 ~ 2005 "Little Behr" now that you have been set
free from the pain and suffering of this world, our place in it seems darker,
colder, and drearier, without the sparkle in your eyes, the quickness of your
wit and the warmth in your touch. Your love for family and life would always
brighten up the day for the ones around you. In time we will dust ourselves
off and get back in the saddle we call life. Save one or more dances for me. I
will see you soon. Love, John Sweetheart, we love you and miss you and always
will. Love, your family.

Bennion, Wendy Lindsey        
Wendy Lindsey Bennion 8/08/75 ~ 09/29/95 Wendy-it's hard to believe it has
been 10 years--it feels like forever, and at the same time, only a moment. Not
a day goes by that we don't think of you. No matter where we go or how much
time passes, one thing is certain--you are always in our hearts. To those who
don't understand why, after 10 years, we feel this way, we simply say this,
"To the world you may be one person, but to us, you are the world." We
couldn't love anything more. Forever DMJKSJLK

Chaplin, Scott           
Scott Chaplin "Scooter" or "Chandler" Our son, brother, uncle and friend Scott
Daniel Chaplin, 24 of Salt Lake City, born January 14, 1981 to Sheldon W. and

Schools, Clayton Middle School and graduated from Judge Memorial High School.
He earned an Associates Degree from Certified Career Institute in Computer
Programming. He was a long time Boy Scout and achieved the Order Of The Arrow.
Scott's love for life, friends and family was never more apparent then when he
shared his seemingly endless supply of stories, which always included "nuggets
of wisdom" for us to ponder. Never one short on words, he enjoyed debating
with friends and family about anything life had to offer. At his own
admission, Scott was a nerd. This of course lent itself to his self-proclaimed
title of "Technical Jeanious" (sic). Unwaveringly kind, selfless and
dependable, Scott was always there to lend his help. His warmth, wit and
contagious laughter only begin to tell the story of how much he will be
missed. His maternal and paternal grandparents precede Scott in death. A
Funeral Mass will be celebrated Monday 10:00 am at Our Lady Of Lourdes
Catholic Church 670 South 1100 East. A Vigil Service will be held Sunday 7:00

better quality of life. If you wish to honor Steven, please become an organ
