Our sweet baby, Benjamin Taylor Dowse, was born on July 13, 2016 at 5:43 p.m. in Provo, Utah to Richard and Catherine Grant Dowse. He made his debut more than 3 months early at just 25 weeks. He was 13 inches long and weighed just 1 lb. 15 oz. Though small, Benjamin had a noble and strong spirit that was felt by those who knew him. From his first moment of life, he fought like a warrior for every breath and minute he had on earth. A few days after birth, Benjamin suffered massive bleeding in his brain, which made his fight for survival even more of an uphill battle. Still, he continued to hold his ground and we stayed in his corner constantly, along with loving family, friends and the incredible staff in the Newborn ICU at the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center.
 
Our sweet little soldier gave us two weeks, two days and almost 13 hours with him to enjoy. Benjamin spent his final night on earth surrounded by his loving family then passed away peacefully in his parents’ arms early the morning of Saturday, July 30th.
 
Our arms ache to hold our sweet baby and there will be a hole in our hearts until we are reunited.  For now, we are comforted by our knowledge of our Heavenly Father’s plan that families are forever. We will continue to draw strength from our Savior’s love and rely on the enabling power of His grace.
 
We will be forever grateful for the way that Benjamin has touched and changed our lives. We are incredibly grateful for the love, generosity, prayers, and support extended to us by so many.
 
Benjamin Taylor is survived by his parents, his siblings: Andrew, Christian, Madeline, James, and Audrey, his grandparents Henry & Judith Dowse, Douglas & MaryAnn Grant, great- grandmother Jeralie Wirthlin and many loving aunts, uncles and cousins.
 
Funeral services will be held Thursday, August 4, 2016 at 11 a.m. in the Pacific Drive 2nd Ward, 507 West 700 North, American Fork. A viewing will be held from 10:00-10:45 a.m. at the church prior to the service, with the interment to follow in the American Fork Cemetery.

Carson Craig Mooney

Carson Craig Mooney, age 18, compassionate brother, quiet hero, gentle giant, fire-filled musician, barefoot braveheart, and fiercely loyal friend, left this life behind on August 7, 2016. His death followed a week long battle with accident-induced brain trauma, fueled by the tender rapture of countless loved ones. He leaves behind his mother Tracy, his father Charles (Chick), four brothers: Cade, Cole, Chaz and Creed, two sisters: Chandler and Catherine, grandparents: Ray & Lexiane Hutchinson, Mike and Mary Ann Mooney, great-grandmother Evelyn Carson Weyand and many aunts, uncles, cousins, “adopted family” members, and friends.

Carson was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on January 30th, 1998. From the moment they brought him home from the hospital he lit up the lives of his family with a contagious smile, deep brown eyes, and a heart that could overfill any room. As a young boy, his passion often came through vocal bouts, and temper tantrums; but as he grew, he directed his fire towards art, expression, and love. He enjoyed telling his mom no, and would very rarely pass up the chance to argue with her or any one of his six bull-headed siblings.

Carson was a free spirit. His active brain liked structured scholarship about as much as he liked any other sort of conformity -- not. in. the. slightest. He went barefoot nearly everywhere, and only kept an old pair of black Vans in his car in case he encountered a strict “no shirt, no shoes, no service” policy. He took fashion cues from no one, and pointedly sported long, curly hair, patched snapback hats, and a pair of refurbished horn-rimmed glasses that previously belonged to his late great-grandfather, Clifford Merrell.

Carson is remembered by those that loved him as selfless, accepting and real - a true friend to all. He taught us to love everyone unconditionally through his service and patient example. He was a calming influence on anyone in his vicinity -- no matter the circumstance, no matter the time. He was the one that stopped to give a homeless man his sandwich, or to help a stranger change a tire. His dad, Chick, eventually stopped asking, “what would Jesus do,” and more often than not asked himself, “what would Carson do.”

Beyond loving others, he taught us to accept ourselves, and to feel what it means to be alive through music. The happiest grins and most joyous shouts were often emitted on stage or in a crowd surrounded by people that expressed themselves as he did -- through sound. He was constantly playing an instrument, or typing up new lyrics on his phone.

Carson was strong, true, and perfectly loving. Carson was everything you could ever want in a son, brother, bass player, artist, neighbor, hero, or friend. His life may have been short, but the impact he made will last forever.

Funeral services will be held to celebrate his life on Wednesday, August 10, 2016 at 1:00pm in the Stone Gate Event Center, 886 W 2600 N, Pleasant Grove.  A viewing will be held Tuesday from 6-8pm in the Anderson & Sons Lone Peak Chapel, 6141 West 11000 North, Highland and Wednesday at Stone Gate from 11:45am -12:45pm. Burial will be in Pleasant Grove Cemetery.  Please share a memory at andersonmortuary.com, or on the Facebook Page: Barefoot for Carson. If you have photos of Carson you’d like to share, please send them to barefootforcarson@gmail.com.

Quinn Hampton was an amazing son, brother, and friend. He loved with all his heart and wanted peace and happiness for all of those he loved. Quinn has now found his own peace and happiness. On August 15, 2016 he journeyed back to be with his father: Gordon Kent Hampton, a grandfather: Del B. Hampton, grandmothers:  Shirley Hampton and Carol Tripp, and friends who passed before. He leaves behind his mother:  Jody Fraughton, sister:  Denise Hampton, grandfather:  Vernon Delyle Fraughton, many aunts, uncles, cousins, and good friends.
Quinn was born December 16, 1977 in American Fork Utah, a little brown eyed ball of energy, ready to go. He loved camping, fishing, and the beautiful mountains of Utah. Sports were big with Quinn and baseball was his favorite. He started with T-ball and played through pony league. He was a great catcher! He attended school in Pleasant Grove and received an Associate’s degree from UVU.
Quinn never did figure out what he wanted to do when he grew up. He tried hotel clerk, concrete worker, shipping/receiving, assembly line, production worker, and telecommunications technician. But wherever he was and whatever he was doing, he made friends.
Quinn’s friendships were very important to him. He was quick to be there and forever loyal. There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do to help a friend. Quinn was a kind, loving, giving soul. He couldn’t stand to see any one in need and not offer help. Whether it was money to the people on the corner or giving a hitchhiker a ride, even if it was way out of his way, Quinn was in.
Quinn was his mother’s helping hand. He was always there to help with yard work, gardening and home improvement projects. Together he and his mom honed their skills and became pretty good amateur remodelers.  Quinn you will be so missed by all of us who knew and loved you and love you still.
A celebration of Quinn will be held for family and friends on Saturday August 27th. Please join us at Bandwagon park in Lehi, 900 North 300 West, at the west pavilion at noon.

Edward Albert Ether Rich (Ted), 100, passed away August 21, 2016 in Provo, Utah.  He was born March 30, 1916 in Salt Lake City to Edward Stokes and Eleanor Jane Atkinson Rich, the fifth of ten children. He attended East High School where he met “that beautiful girl in the blue dress” who everyone called “Pete” while they both worked on the yearbook committee. He attended the University of Utah and in May of 1937, graduated in electrical engineering with high honors. He was also very active in the ROTC program throughout all his years at East High and the U of U, eventually being appointed Student Commander of the Field Artillery Unit. A month after graduation, he married Florence Ellen Van Dorn (Pete), “that girl in the blue dress,” on June 28, 1937 in Salt Lake City. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Mount Timpanogos Temple.

Immediately after their marriage, they loaded all their possessions into their 1928 Chevy Coupe and drove to Schenectady, New York where Ted had obtained a job working for General Electric. He started work there on July 26, 1937 initially in Large Motor and Engine Design, then Industrial Engineering in mining, and eventually transferring to Cement and Glass Applications.  He led GE in applying Automatic Process Control to Cement and Glass Industries obtaining many awards and honors along the way.  However, his work also resulted in much travel throughout the states and all over the world.  He once estimated he traveled over 1000 times for GE, sometimes being away for three to four weeks.

Ted was also very active in the electrical engineering professional association called the AIEE/IEEE Industry Applications Society.  After retirement from GE in March, 1982, he became editor of the IEEE/IAS Transactions bimonthly journal, reviewing and editing all research papers submitted before publishing. He served in that capacity until 1996 when at age 80 he once again retired.

During the years in New York, Ted was also very active in the LDS Church.  He served in the District Presidency for 16 years and was District President for eight of those years.  Ted witnessed much growth and development as Church membership increased on the East coast.  He helped build several chapels in the area as well as building their family home in Schenectady. In January of 1952 he had completed enough of the house so the family could move in.  Ted and Pete raised four children in their home, had various pets and special dinners, housed missionaries occasionally, and had many visitors and guests. After 53 years in Schenectady, they downsized, sold their home, and moved to American Fork, UT.  Ted and Pete continued to be involved in a bowling league, church activities, and many family gatherings and events.

He is survived by his children: Ed (Morrissa) Rich, Katherine (James) Rosenvall, David Rich, Lorraine Davis, 24 grandchildren and 68 great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife of 77 years in May of 2014, daughter-in-law Lynn Brereton Rich, and great-granddaughters Kate and Lily Rosenvall.

Funeral services will be held Saturday, August 27, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. in the American Fork 30th Ward chapel, 270 N. 900 E. American Fork.  A viewing will be held Friday from 6-8 p.m. at Anderson & Sons Mortuary, 49 East 100 North, American Fork and Saturday from 9:45-10:45 a.m. at the American Fork 30th Ward. Burial will be in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.  Please share a memory below.

E. Jay Nelson – 1944 – 2016
 
 Summing up a loved one’s life in just a few paragraphs is an incredibly difficult task and, to anyone who really knew Dad, perhaps even unnecessary. To any such people, the mere mention of Dad’s name brings back a whirlwind of memories.
 
Dad was an incredible and amazingly hard worker. Never one to sit still, at least for not very long, he was always physically or mentally in motion. The task was irrelevant; everything from mundane yard work to disassembling and repairing complex machinery, Dad took it all very seriously, and never did anything by half measures. It did not matter if the sun was out or if it was bitterly cold, if the job had to be done, he made certain it was done and done right. He often said that he would rather wear out than rust out.
 
But he didn’t just work hard. Dad always kept a sharp eye, looking for a better way to accomplish tasks more efficiently. There really is a right way and a wrong way to dig with a shovel, to install roofing shingles, to lift heavy items, to change brake shoes on a car, anything that requires doing. He taught his children all these things, many of which he learned the hard way. Sometimes we’d marvel at an elegant solution he’d come up with and ask him how he learned that, to which he’d often reply that he learned it at the “school of hard knocks”.
 
Dad would invent solutions to problems, some of which he put into practice and some that he’d discuss with us and mentally file away for future use. One example was when financial circumstances required that he change jobs and start over at a new shop. He pretty much kept to himself at first and observed three or four of his new co-workers struggling to manhandle a large piece of machinery in a vain attempt to hold it in position and bolt into place. Shortly thereafter he faced the same task but rather than fight it the way they had done he devised an ingenious system that adapted available machinery in the shop to lift and balance the parts so that he could simply and easily bolt them together all by himself, to the astonishment of the other mechanics. No matter where Dad worked he always ended up being the “go-to” guy for advice and assistance on virtually all the difficult tasks that came along.
 
Dad had little tolerance for tardiness and emphasized the importance of being on-time or, better yet, to be a little bit early. He’d “encourage” us to get our act together in this regard by reminding us in a commanding voice that if everyone else can get their you-know-what there on time then by God so can you!  He was a man of his word, and if he told someone he’d be somewhere or help with something you could be assured that he would.
 
On occasions where he would allow himself to relax enough to pursue non-work related interests, he would thoroughly immerse himself. He recalled that as a teenager he became obsessed with the bow and arrow and would target practice until his fingers would bleed, always trying to improve his skill. He had a similar passion for fly fishing, and taught himself to tie his own amazing and very effective flies. Over the years there was metal and wood working, agriculture, hunting, photography, and archaeology, among others. He loved animals. If there was a dog or a cat in the vicinity, somehow it made it to his side.
 
Dad was very generous with all of his children. Since moving out on our own we have lived under roofs that he helped shingle, in rooms that he helped paint, with plumbing that he helped assemble, and driven cars that he has helped repair. He kept us sane and provided advice and sympathy when life’s circumstances would seemingly become overwhelming. He allowed us to make our own decisions and emphasized that he would support us no matter what.
 
Above all, Dad was deeply devoted and hopelessly in love with Mom, and she with him. There were bumps along the way, particularly in the early years, but they always worked everything out. They were equal partners in every endeavor they undertook, and taught us life’s important lessons not just with words but by example. They spent the last 54 years showing us why being with the right person is very special indeed. We will miss you terribly Dad.

Graveside services will be held Thursday, September 1, 2016 at 10:00 am at the American Fork Cemetery, 100 East 650 North American Fork Utah 84003.
