BART JARVIS
June 23, 2014, full throttle, pedal to the metal, he left us in a cloud of dust, waving good-bye with tears in our eyes. Wishing we could take one last ride around the block with Lanny Bart!!
Bart’s life was truly an adventure and he enjoyed the ride. From the time he was a young boy riding the Honda 50 around the yard to his teen years racing at Santana Raceway and in demolition derbys.
As a young man Bart enlisted in the US Army. He was very proud to serve his country. Bart was deployed to Vietnam and served as a Crew Chief/Gunner on helicopters. During one intense battle his helicopter was shot down and Bart was critically wounded. Through determination he valiantly saved the lives of his crew while under enemy ambush and was later rescued to return home to share his life and love with family and friends.
Riding motorcycles on the West Desert, fixing up cars, hunting, fishing and boating – Bart loved to make every minute count.
Family and friends will have lasting memories of our time spent with him. Bart’s “no fear” attitude inspired all of us to reach beyond our limits and find the true meaning of life.
No valley too deep. No river too wide. And no car fast enough. The checkered flag is waving; you've crossed the finish line and won the race. All the cheers and tears are for you, Bart.
Many tears will be shed for we have lost a man who we love and loved us all unconditionally. He inspired us with his strength and ambition and we will always remember him as our Hero.
He is survived by his wife, Brenda Roberts Jarvis; his son, Shad (Ashley) Jarvis; his daughter, Pari (Ehren) Klein; grandchildren, Maddox and Haven Jarvis, and Chase Klein; siblings, Bob Jarvis, Sherrie Wood, Judy Gonzales, and Coy Morgan. He was preceded in death by his parents, Glen & Sadie Jarvis and a son, Tyler Jarvis.

Philip Earl Jones passed away on August 10, 2014. He was born on March 24, 1935 in Payson, Utah, to Reed Earl Jones and Norma Reece Jones. He graduated from Payson High School and then proceeded on to the University of Utah, where he received his degree in metallurgical engineering. Phil married his sweetheart, Joan Kotter, in the Logan temple on July 11, 1956.
Phil accepted an engineering position at the Geneva Steel Works shortly after graduation from the University of Utah and dedicated himself to the work. Professional rigor and a well-developed set of social skills advanced his career. He worked for several years as Geneva Works Chief Metallurgical Engineer; immediately prior to his retirement he served as Vice President of Marketing and Sales.
Phil was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He retired upon receipt of a call to serve as the President of the Cleveland, Ohio mission. His calling as mission president followed various opportunities to serve in the church: bishop of the Payson Third Ward, Stake President of the Payson Utah Stake, Varsity Scout Leader, and Stake Patriarch. His service in these positions was personalized and lifted the lives of many. Joan was a constant source of support and understanding that enabled him to serve with humility and honor.
Phil loved the outdoors and spent most of his free time with Joan, his children, and his friends camping, hunting, and fishing. Later in life he developed a love of filming outdoor scenes and wildlife. In addition, he was actively involved in the Payson community and served on the city council.
Phil was preceded in death by his loving wife Joan in 2008 and his son Mark in 2011. He is survived by his children and their spouses: Julie and Russ Harward, Alan and Geralyn Jones, Linda and Ray Rowley, Sue and Chris Hailstone, David and Jan Jones, Debra and Todd Sperry, Reed and Erin Jones, Gordon and Ali Jones, Diane and Rich Payne, Marilyn Thomas Johnson, and Tyron Tekala. He is also survived by 60 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren.
A public visitation will be held from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. Friday, August 15, at the Payson Stake Center located at 650 W. 800 S. A second visitation will be held on Saturday, August 16, from 9:00 – 10:45 a.m. at the Payson Stake Center followed by the funeral service at 11:00 a.m. Interment will follow at the Payson City cemetery.
