Judkins, Bary "BJ"
Bary "BJ" Judkins passed away at home on March 24, 2005 surrounded by family
and loved ones after a valiant battle with lung cancer. Bary was born on April
11, 1937 to Reed and Roselle Stewart Judkins. He was a beloved father, son,
brother, grandfather, great grandfather and friend. He is a member of the LDS
church. He attended East high school where he excelled in sprots and helped
his team to three football championships and two track championships. He was
state champion in the 100-yard dash and the 220-yard run and set records in
those events that stood for years. He then attended the University of Utah
where he played football. Bary learned early his work ethic and began working
in the family drapery and window covering business at the age of 13. He
continued there for 40 years. His two son, Jerry and Jay have followed in his
footsteps and now have their own window covering business. He was a consummate
salesman and it has been said that he could sell a drowning man water . He
married Gwen Peterson with whom he had nine children, they were later
divorced. His children have been a source of great pride and enjoyment
throughout his life. He nurtured a warm friendship with his children and
enjoyed many good years spending time with them. He later married Tammy
Nielsen, a loving and doting second mom to his large family. Tammy has truly
been his soul mate and has shared his passion for hunting and the outdoors.
They have been known to argue about who is the better shot with a deer rifle.
The jury is still out on that one. Christmas parties at Bary and Tammy's house
were perhaps the highlight of the year and a wonderful time to gather family.
Parties were always happy, noisy and full of laughter. He loved sports and
coached his sons in their long and successful sports careers. He was a
passionate coach and was known for his not so subtle hand signals in little
league baseball, his vocal support in basketball, and for teaching his sons to
play with legendary sk ill and intensity. Two of his sons, Jeff and Jon
currently coach basketball at the college level. He loved hunting, boating,
and spending time at "the ranch" with his family and friends. He could fix and
build anything and enjoyed projects of all kinds. He also enjoyed regular
Tuesday morning breakfasts with his sons and coffee just about every day with
his "coffee buds". He had a magical way with a story and could always fill a
room with laughter. Though he tried, he never could make a long story short.
Bary is preceded in death by his father Reed Judkins and his infant daughter
Jennifer. He is survived by his loving wife of 23 years, Tammy Nielsen
Judkins, his mother Roselle Judkins, siblings Joan Varanes (Lou), Kent Judkins
