Pendleton On September 1, 2005, just shy of his 45th birthday, Dean L. Pendleton left this earthly existence to embrace his Father in Heaven, grandparents, and a sister, Heather. Dean was very determined and never wanted to admit that the melanoma cancer, which he had, could take him from his family and the beautiful world around him. Dean was born in Salt Lake City on September 9, 1960, to O. Dean and Audrey Pendleton. During his youth, he lived in Kearns, Goshen, and Elberta, Utah. His family also spent six years in Eltopia, WA. Enjoying life, he was taught to walk uprightly before the Lord, have a deep appreciation for our founding fathers, and a great love for our country. Dean graduated from Payson High School and entered the Marine Corps Reserves to serve his country. Upon graduation from boot camp, he proceeded to honorably fulfill an LDS mission to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. After completing Scout Sniper, Jump, and Army Ranger Schools, he went to USU to get an engineering degree. While up in Logan, he met Melody Smith and decided it was more important to get married and be a Dad. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple on February 26,1988. For the last fifteen years, they have resided in Mapleton, UT. Dean was an excellent welder. He dreamed of owning a stretch of land where his boys could all learn to work hard and to love the land. In 2002, he started his own business, Rocky Mountain Tower & Antenna, Inc. He loved to go into the mountains, spot deer and elk, etc., and was not afraid of heights. Michelle, Dianna Torgersen (Tom), Anthony, William, Jaynee, Stuart, Ben, Rachel, Russell, Ezra, Jaryd, and Chad will miss their kind and loving father, baseball games, crawdad fishing, Sunday drives just to spot the deer, and his powerful testimony of the Savior whom he served valiantly all his days. He touched the lives of all those he came in contact, with a desire to do better. He left with a greater love and devotion for his Savior. He is survived by his wife, Melody; his 12 children, two grandchildren (Sam and Elena Torgersen); his parents; his siblings: Kathryn Bartleson (Bob); Philip Pendleton (Gloria); Josee Petersen (Mike); Faun Pendleton; and 47 nieces and nephews.
