Our loving dad passed away at his home in Tooele on Feb. 6. He was born Aug. 2, 1928 in a small southern Utah town called Circleville to Clarence and Mary Alice LeFevre. He attended Circleville Elementary School and graduated from Piute High School. He enjoyed sports and played basketball on the high school team. Dad worked on farms and ranches in Circleville, Roosevelt and Milford while completing high school. After graduation, he discovered his aptitude and interest in mechanics and started working in that field. He married Louise Frederick on Nov. 3, 1949, and they were later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on Dec. 1, 1950. They shared 63 years of marriage together. They loved to dance. Some of their favorite times were in open-aired dance halls in Piute County. Dad was a member of the LDS church in which he held various callings. He was a member of the Tooele 6th, Lake Point and Tooele 3rd wards. Dad worked at Tooele Army Depot, Dugway Proving Ground, Boise Cascade, and owned and operated Harv’s Service Station for several years. During that time, he made many friends and was involved in Tooele City and county organizations and events. Dad loved hunting and fishing, but most of all he enjoyed raising the horses and cattle he had acquired. He also owned race horses and was involved in chariot racing. He loved watching his horses run and liked it even more when they won. He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers Dan and Albert, wife, son Kenneth and grandson Cody Rollie. He is survived by daughters Jerri (Dennis) Sagers, Jolyn (Steve) Bevan, sisters Hartence Dalton (twin), Louise Dunton and Bernice Prince, five grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. The family would like to acknowledge their appreciation to the care provided by Marian and the caring staff of Harmony Home Health. We know daddy is having a wonderful reunion with family and his sweetheart who passed away only four months prior. Services will be held Feb. 13 at 11 a.m. at the Tooele 3rd Ward building, 141 W. Utah Ave. A viewing will be held prior at 9:30 a.m.
