Bishop, David Clayton
David Clayton Bishop 1921-2005 Our beloved father, grandfather,
great-grandfather, and uncle, joined his beloved wife in the arms of our
Heavenly Father on 24 February 2005. David Clayton Bishop was born 17 February
1921, in Hinckley, Utah, to Don Taylor Bishop and Alice Tullis. Clayton served
honorably in the North Central States Mission and following his return to
Utah, he married his sweetheart, Mary Ethyl Meeks Bishop, in the Salt Lake
Temple on 1 March 1944. During the first four years of their marriage, Clayton
helped run the Meeks Ranch in Wayne County; and, in 1948, the family moved to
Orem, Utah, where he was employed at Geneva Steel. Clayton worked as a first
helper in the Open Hearth and retired after thirty-three years of service. He
was always proud to call himself a "steel man." Clayton was truly a
renaissance man. He loved music and sang with the Mendelsohn Chorus for over
twenty years. He was an avid reader and had a thirst for knowledge. His
hobbies included carpentry, jewelry making, golf, fishing, hunting, and
watching BYU football and basketball. Most of all, Clayton loved people. He
was humorous and caring and there were few people whom he met that could not
be tied in some way into his family tree. Clayton served faithfully in many
church callings and had a profound love for his Savior. He is survived by his
daughter, Mary Margaret Bishop Spears; five grandchildren, nine
great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews, all whom he loved
greatly. Funeral services will be held Thursday, March 3rd, 2005, at 11 a.m.,

morning of February 27, 2005 due to natural causes. He'll be remembered for
his charming smile, his quick wit, his service to others, and the effortless
love he gave to all those lucky enough to be a part of his life. Although he

this magnificent man. Ray was born on October 5, 1915 in Nephi, Utah to Joseph

the Lord. He served a mission with his wife in South Dakota from 1978-1980 and
also served as a temple worker in the Provo Temple for 9 years. Ray was a
family man and loved spending time with his children and grandchildren. He
took great joy in telling "Tom Thumb and Lucy Tooth" stories to his
grandchildren to put them to sleep, only to wake them up in the morning with a
hot breakfast. We'll never forget the barbeques in the backyard, watching BYU
football games, and sleeping over on the streets of Provo to save places for
the parade the next morning. We've never doubted his love for us and are
eternally grateful for the incredible example he is in our lives. We take
great pride in the opportunity to celebrate his wonderful life. He was
preceded in death by his wife Mildred, his parents, four sisters and two
brothers. He is survived by four brothers, four children; David R. Greenhalgh,

Swenson, Michael Scott
Michael Scott Swenson Born on 12/13/72, Michael Swenson left this world for
eternal life 2/23/05. His mom and dad, Lee and Linda Swenson, and his sister
Kristin are so sad and miss him so much but are comforted by his memory and
the knowledge that he is at peace. Also missing him are his Grandma Jorgensen
and his aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends as well as his beloved dog, Kota.
Mike grew up in Duchesne, Utah and moved to Orem when he was fourteen. He
graduated from Orem High School and then Dixie College. Although he was most
recently employed by myfamily.com, his favorite jobs were at Herritage School
and Slate Canyon because he loved people. People loved him too and those that
knew him know that inside his great big body beat a great big beautiful heart.
Mike had gifts, he was gifted with infectious wit and could make anyone laugh
in one line or less. His artwork is beautiful and a treasure to his parents.
He was also a gifted athlete, amazing us with tricks on his bike. He skied
like a madman and he pinned a lot of worthy opponents during his wrestling
career. After high school he took up weightlifting, he treated his body like a
piece of art, and others admired his strength and dedication. His greatest
gifts, however, were not the ones that he had but the ones that he gave. He
gave us smiles and hugs and happy memories. He gave us hope because he had
hope and his belief helped us believe. Mike loved God and his childlike faith
was an inspiration. He married Laura Hart in 2001 and was an admirably loyal
husband. He loved her with a love that we cannot comprehend. Michael will be
greeted in heaven by his Grandpa Jorgensen, who he loved and from whom he got
his sense of humor. He was also preceded by his Grandma and Grandpa Swenson
and his bad dog, Chance. A memorial service will be held at Thursday, March 3
at 11:00 a.m. at the Christ Evangelical Church of Orem. The church is located
at 280 South 400 East (across from Orem High School). In Lieu of flowers,
donations in Michael's name may be made to Slate Canyon c/o Christ Evangelical
Church of Orem or the Humane Society of Utah.
