Charles Hassard

Charles Edward Hassard, Jr., passed away on Veteran's Day, November 11, 2025 - a fitting day for a man who carried deep love for his country throughout his life. He was born March 23, 1947, in Modesto, California to Charles Edward and Verl Paxman Hassard. When very young, his family moved to Orland, California. There he learned from dedicated teachers and had many special experiences with friends while attending the Orland schools. On weekends and summers, he drove heavy equipment for his father in his land leveling business. As he neared the end of high school, he was given a Congressional Appointment to the Air Force Academy, which he greatly desired, but decided to decline so he could serve a mission for his church. He served as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Southeast Mexico Mission where he developed a deep love and respect for the people of that country.

He attended Brigham Young University, earning a bachelor's degree in economics. During that time, he met Brenda Morgan, and they were married in 1970 in the Idaho Falls ldaho Temple.

After graduating from BYU, he and his family lived in various places in the United States as he trained to fly in the United States Navy. He was honored to serve aboard the USS Midway, landing on the carrier deck while flying in the backseat of the F-4 Phantom airplane -- an experience he deeply appreciated, along with the camaraderie and loyalty of his squadron. As the ship made various stops in ports in the Near East, he enjoyed going with members of the LDS Serviceman's Branch aboard the ship to go bowling or visit parks or other sights. Eventually the Midway was homeported in Japan where his family lived for two years. While there they made life-long friends from among the gracious and kind people of Japan.

He returned to BYU and earned a master's degree in accounting. He then worked in San Francisco, California and in Boise, Idaho.

Throughout the years he taught his children to pray and to honor the commandments of God. He taught them to work- helping them deliver newspapers on early morning paper routes or later feed cows and fix fence on their family farm. His children remember many fun camping trips with him. He loved woodworking and made cutting boards, step stools, and wooden boxes for his children and grandchildren. He also built a baby cradle and a clock, along with Dutch-oven boxes for the married kids to store their ovens in.

He served faithfully in his church as a teacher, scoutmaster, Bishop's Counselor, High Councilor, and as a Temple Worker in the Boise Idaho Temple and in the Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple. He also really loved serving as a Church Service Missionary in the Riverton Utah Family Search Library.

He enjoyed close family relationships with his siblings, in-laws, and extended family members. His six children, twenty grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren adored him. He was able to spend a few precious hours in the spirit world with a new great- granddaughter who was born just 12 hours after he passed away.

Funeral services will be held Monday, November 17, 2025, at 11:00 am in the Village Way Chapel, 901 East Village Way, Alpine, Utah, 84004. A viewing will be held from 9:45-10:45 am prior to the services. Interment will be in the Alpine City Cemetery.

Helen Hatch

Helen Chipman Hatch

October 13, 1943 - November 10, 2025

Helen Chipman Hatch, age 82, passed away peacefully in Lehi, Utah, surrounded by love and faith on a quiet autumn day.

Born October 13, 1943, in Huntington, Utah, Helen was the sixth child of Ralph Southwick Chipman and Mary McKinney. At the age of three, her family moved to American Fork, where she spent her formative years cultivating a deep sense of community, service, and music that would shape her life.

A proud graduate of American Fork High School, class of 1961, Helen was a spirited and talented young woman. She marched in the band, worked at the beloved Frostop drive-in, and claimed the state title in the "Make It With Wool" competition. Her gifts at the piano brought joy to many as she performed for church, school, and social gatherings.

Helen pursued higher education at Brigham Young University and LDS Business College, earning a degree in Accounting and Home Economics. With a strong testimony and a spirit of adventure, she served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Australia Mission from 1964 to 1966-a time she cherished deeply.

After returning home, she began her professional career as a CPA, working for Hunter and Sherwood and later Savage Brothers. In August 1969, she married Keith Hatch, and together they built a life of devotion, love, and faith. After a few years in Orem, they settled in Pleasant Grove, where Helen lived for 33 years, raising their three children and engaging in school, church, and community service.

A tireless volunteer, Helen dedicated countless hours to local schools, playing piano for assemblies, serving in the PTA-including as Region President and member of the State PTA Board-and always cheering on her children in their pursuits. In 1981, she reentered the workforce at Greenwood Elementary before moving to the Alpine School District, where she worked in Accounts Payable for 21 years.

Her service extended deeply into her church community, where she faithfully accepted callings ranging from nursery leader to Stake Relief Society Presidency. Her most beloved role was overseeing the Stake extraction program, reflecting her deep love of family history and the gospel of Jesus Christ. For Helen, faith and family were the anchors of her life.

Widowed in 1991, Helen carried on with courage and grace, cherishing her growing posterity and holding fast to the values she lived by. She is survived by her children Mary Ann Landefeld (Adam), Heather Smith (Tefton), and Duaine Hatch (Billie), and stepchildren, Dan Hatch (Melanie) , Teresa Cooley, 20 grandchildren; and 24 great-grandchildren and one great great grandchild. She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Keith, her parents, stepson, Steve Hatch and all of her siblings.

Helen's life was one of quiet strength, faithful service, and enduring love. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, resilience, and devotion that will bless generations to come.

Per Helen's request, a simple graveside service for family and friends will be held on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at 1:30 pm at the American Fork Cemetery. A viewing will be held prior to the graveside from 12:15-1:15 pm in the Anderson & Sons Mortuary located at 49 E 100 N in American Fork.

Richard Christiansen

Richard Wesley Christiansen peacefully graduated from mortality on November 2, 2025, surrounded by loved ones. His life overflowed with learning, healthy living, accomplishment, and love and devotion to his family. He impacted countless, leaving a legacy of thousands of students whose careers were shaped or influenced by his teaching.

He was known in life for many attributes, including his ability to explain complex concepts, his integrity, intelligence, and his testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Whatever he pursued, he did so with commitment and boldness.

Born May 18, 1939, in Nephi, Utah, to Norma and Wesley Christiansen, Richard lost his father in WWII at age 5. Norma later remarried Edison Harkins, an aptly named electrician, whom Richard credits as the most influential person in his life and who inspired him to become an electrical engineer.

Richard met Anita Louise Stuckey in New Jersey in the 10th grade and described falling in love "the moment he laid eyes on her." Grades were very important to Anita, who insisted homework be completed before dates. So Richard assessed the situation, identified the variables within his control, and immediately transformed into an enthusiastic student. She graduated Valedictorian, he third runner-up, and they were voted 'Most Studious Couple. They married in 1959 in New Jersey, and a year later had their first of nine children. They were sealed in 1965 in the Mesa Arizona Temple.

Education was a lifelong priority. He earned a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, an M.S. in Physics, and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering. He always credited Anita's high school study habits as the catalyst for his educational pursuits.

He joined the BYU faculty in 1978 as a professor of Electrical Engineering. In addition to teaching, he directed many high-profile research and development projects, including wiretap analysis technology for the FBI, and the world's first high-fidelity digital hearing aid. Richard also taught the Doctrine and Covenants, a class many of his children loved being able to attend. He was known to create active, thoughtful discussion which encouraged his students to learn from one another. That legacy lives on in his family, as each of his children inherited his enthusiasm for learning, curiosity, and a desire to understand the world around them.

After teaching for 35 years, he retired from BYU in 2013 to spend more time hiking with Anita, until her unexpected passing in 2014. Brokenhearted, Richard turned his focus to family history, church service, and loving his grandchildren as his way of preparing to reunite with her.

Richard was preceded in death by Anita, his parents, his siblings, and two grandsons, Jethro Kyle Hogan Christiansen and Steven Samwise Grover. He is survived by his nine children and their spouses: Mark Christiansen (Jann), Jeff Christiansen (Lisa), Laura Dayley (Kurtis), Shannon Grover (Alex), Pamela Anderson (Trever), Michael Christiansen (Angela), Craig Christiansen (Angie), Heidi Lee (Jeremy), and Phoenix Vincent (Michael). He is also survived by 29 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren.

Now that he is with Anita, we hope they are able to pick up where they left off: Walking together under fluttering aspen leaves, breathing in the scent of pines, taking in views of stunning canyons and waterfalls, and finding every arch and red rock formation Heaven has to offer.

We love and miss you, Dad. Thank you for all you have taught us.

Funeral Services will be held Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at the Highland South Stake Center at 9626 N 6800 W, Highland, UT.

A Viewing will take place Tuesday evening, November 11, 2025 from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. at the Lone Peak Chapel at 6141 W 11000 N, Highland, UT, and Wednesday from 9:45 - 10:45 a.m. prior to the funeral services at the church.

Interment will be in the Highland City Cemetery

Christian Vieira

Christian Omar Vieira was born on August 5, 2003, in Orem, Utah, to Omar Jose Vieira and Vicky Marie Ortiz-Vieira. From the very beginning, Christian brought a special light and joy into his family. As the youngest of two children, he filled their home with laughter, curiosity, and boundless energy.

When Christian was just two years old, his family moved back to Virginia Beach, Virginia, where his father continued his service in the U.S. Navy. It was there that Christian's bright personality and determination began to shine. He attended Indian Lakes Elementary, where he joined the safety patrol, something he had set his heart on for years. His fifth-grade teacher sponsored him, and it became one of the highlights of his early school years. Christian excelled academically as well, earning the Presidential Award in fifth grade and being named Student of the Month multiple times.

At just four years old, Christian began training in Muay Thai. His instructors quickly noticed his natural talent and strong technique. He competed in several tournaments and eventually earned his junior black belt in mixed martial arts at Linx Academy. He was invited to help train younger students, a role he took pride in. Around that same time, Christian discovered his love for Scouting. With his mom as his den leader, he spent many evenings working on badges, especially the fitness ones, which were his favorite. He threw himself wholeheartedly into Scouting, always eager for the next camp out or adventure. His energy was unstoppable, and he brought laughter and enthusiasm to everything he did.

In middle school, Christian attended Brandon Middle School in Virginia Beach, where he played soccer as a forward for the school team. His passion for soccer grew stronger each year. Then, in the summer of 2015, when Christian was twelve, his family moved to Stuttgart, Germany. He attended Patch Middle School on the military base and continued to pursue his love of soccer, playing on several recreational and competitive travel teams with both Turkish and German coaches. He traveled all over Europe with his teams, playing against athletes from different countries.

Scouting also remained an important part of his life during those years. His adventures in Europe took him to scout camps in Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Normandy, France. At just thirteen years old, he earned his PADI scuba certification and completed his first open-water dive with his dad off the coast of Mallorca, Spain, a memory the two of them cherished deeply. Life in Germany was full of travel and discovery for Christian. He visited Venice, Rome, Prague, Paris, and Barcelona, where he had the thrill of seeing Messi play. One of the highlights of his time in Europe was traveling to Madrid, Spain, where he watched Ronaldo play for Real Madrid, a moment he never forgot.

In the summer of 2017, the Vieira family moved back to Utah, where Christian attended Westlake High School. It was there that he discovered a new passion, competitive swimming, thanks to his friend Nick Anderson. Christian had an incredible natural ability to learn quickly, and swimming was no exception. He had a gift for mastering new things and a natural genius that showed in all he did.

After graduating from high school, Christian chose to follow in his father's footsteps and serve his country by joining the U.S. Navy. He dreamed of becoming a Navy SEAL medic, a calling that reflected both his courage and his deep desire to help others. His service began in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, aboard the USS Michael Murphy, and later continued in North Island, California, where he served as a corpsman at the clinic while awaiting orders for Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL training. Christian took great pride in wearing his uniform, serving with honor, and giving his all to every mission and goal before him.

He is survived by his Father, Omar, his mom, Vicky, and his beautiful sister, Leilanie. He is preceded in death by his grandmother Carmen Vieira. Funeral services will be held on Friday, November 7, 2025 at 11:00am in the Deer Meadow Chapel, 3261 Village Pkwy, Saratoga Springs. A viewing will take place Thursday evening, November 6, 2025 from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. at the Deer Meadow Chapel 3261 Village Pkwy, Saratoga Springs and on Friday from 9:45 - 10:45 a.m. prior to the funeral services at the church.

After Al was discharged in 1954, Alfred and Carlene bought their first home in Springfield, Michigan, where they lived for sixty-six years and where they raised four children. Over the years, they visited all but one of the US states. During the decade of the 1990s, they travelled to England, China, Russia, and Italy. In late 2020, due to declining health, they moved to Highland, Utah, to be near family.

She attended Forbes Elementary, AF Junior High and AF High School. Graduating in 1969.

Linda loved the family outings with her parents and siblings. They camped and fished and enjoyed outdoors. One of her favorite places was Greens Lakes by Flaming Gorge.

She was member of the Cavettes and Pep Club drill team during her high school years. She also worked at Parkers for years during high school and after graduation. She met her future husband Brent and astonished him by asking him to the Pep Club Formal. They later married on October 9, 1970 in the Salt Lake Temple.

They had 5 children during their marriage, 4 girls and 1 boy. From those beginnings, she became grandmother to 22 and great-grandmother to 16.

Linda loved children, not only her own but all that she taught in various church callings.

The children also loved her and she would see former members of her classes in later years and have great discussion with them about how their lives had turned out.

After her caboose child Tara was born in 1982, she applied a couple of years later to work for Dr. Richards and a new Dr, who turned out to be Dr. Willis. She worked for them in that office on Main Street and then in Tri-City Medical, which was in the old hospital on 300 North. She then followed them to Premier Family Medical in Pleasant Grove and worked 32 years before retiring.

She enjoyed working there and made many friends with co-workers and patients alike.

A friendly smile was on of her many attributes.

Linda was a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and always attended her meetings and accepted callings as long as her health allowed it.

After retirement she travelled to Lake Tahoe with Brent every chance they got. They loved going there on vacation or just a few days trip. Two children living in Spring Creek Nevada made the trip even more enjoyable. Visit them on the way out or the way back or both.
