Frederick Douglas Fox

Frederick (Fred) Douglas Fox, 73, of Park City, Utah passed away on April 21, 2026.

Born in Olean, New York, on October 12, 1952, he was the youngest of three sons to the late William and Joyce Fox, and brother to David and Robert (Bob). After graduating from Olean High School, he earned an Associates in Applied Science from Jamestown Community College, a Bachelor’s of Science from the State University of New York, and a Bachelor’s of Science (Forestry) from Syracuse University.

Fred married his high school sweetheart, Jean Donnelly on November 21, 1973 in Olean, New York. They soon welcomed two daughters, Jennifer and Angela. They were his ultimate achievement and the most valued treasure in his life. No matter whatever life challenges brought him, his greatest joy was spending time with them and all his extended family.

His work in the mining industry took him to Wyoming, South Dakota and Utah, where he earned multiple awards for his work in the advancement of environmental resources management and safety in mining.

Fred loved the outdoors, enjoying many sun-filled days fishing on his boat at Strawberry Reservoir alongside his favorite fishing partner, his dog and loyal companion of 13 years, Talley. Traveling and seeing the world was also important to him, whether on road trips to see friends and family, or internationally to experience other cultures and adventures. As an avid fan, he celebrated his lifelong passion for the Buffalo Bills with a trip to a winning game this past season.

He was the ultimate host and entertainer. As one friend said, ‘Fred never met a stranger!’ Nothing made him happier than being with friends, cooking, laughing, and of course, being the life of the party! His grilled cheese sandwiches were legendary at his neighborhood happy hours! Fred knew he was blessed to have so many wonderful friends who truly loved him.

Fred is survived by his wife, Jean Fox, Park City, UT; daughters Jennifer (Todd) Volkening, Holladay, UT, Angela (Jacob) Brandon, Holladay, UT; granddaughter, Grayce Skelton, Gilbert, AZ; brothers Bob (Patty) Fox, Olean, NY, and Dave (Fran) Fox, Duncannon, PA; brother-in-law, Brian (Nancy) Donnelly, Olean, NY; sisters-in-law Cindi (Mike) McCann, Allegany, NY; Amy Phillips, Pflugerville, TX; Tania (Doug) Kierklewski, Austin, TX; and many beloved nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by William Fox (father), Joyce Fox (mother), Jerry Donnelly (brother-in-law), and John Phillips (brother-in-law).

Memorials may be made to Nuzzles & Co, Park City, or the Christian Center, Park City.

We’re going to celebrate Fred the way he would have wanted - with friends, family, and plenty of stories. Please join us for a reception on May 2nd, from 2pm - 6pm at the Fox family residence in Park City, UT.

Niles Gray Halley

Niles Gray Halley, beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend, finally reunited with his cherished wife, Vivian, on April 10, 2026. Throughout his life, Niles was known for his warm personality, his love of people, and his remarkable ability to connect with others wherever he went.

Niles was born on April 20, 1933, in Whiteside, Missouri, the fifth child of James Russell Halley and Constance Gertrude Luck. He spent his early years growing up in Missouri near extended family, and on his grandparent’s farm, until the family moved to Utah.

Niles graduated from Murray High School, where he met his sweetheart, Vivian Lorraine Caldwell. It was love at first sight, and they married shortly after high school. Together, they built a life filled with faith, family, and service.

Niles was a proud convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints a few years after he and Vivian were married. Unable to serve a mission as a youth, he and Vivian set a goal to serve together after retirement. Their devotion culminated in two missions to Nigeria where they taught, served and strengthened local members of the church. They also organized cataract surgery eye clinics throughout the country, contributing to the health and well-being of so many, a true demonstration of their love for the Nigerian people and their devotion to their faith.

Career-wise, Niles began working in the trucking and heavy equipment maintenance industry. Later, he spent many years as a salesman for S&H Terminal before starting his own company, Halley’s Transport, Incorporated. He was an outstanding salesman—so skilled that he could “sell ice to an Eskimo.” His natural talent for talking to anyone made him well-known and well-liked in many circles.

Niles’ interests were varied and reflected his zest for life. An avid singer with a special fondness for country music, he often sang during long hours on the road as a traveling salesman. Golf was another passion, and he was never without his clubs, and always ready to join a spontaneous game. He had a great love for the outdoors, enjoying hunting, fishing, and camping – especially at Spirit Lake in the Uintah Mountains, where he made cherished memories with his wife and children that have carried on through five generations.

His patriotism was evident throughout his life. Although he never served in the armed forces, he showed great respect for those who did, often going out of his way to thank a veteran. He proudly flew the American flag at his home and was always seen wearing patriotic hats and lapel pins. He was especially proud of two grandsons who served in the military and loved sharing stories of their service.

Niles was a man who truly loved to smile and make others smile. He had a great sense of humor and was known for telling people they had a great smile, followed by his signature advice: “Keep smiling and let the world wonder what you’ve been up to.” He was known to arrive thirty minutes early at church simply to visit with members and friends.

Niles is survived by his five children: Shelly Dean (Steven), LaRie Pack (Vaughn), Nila Peterson (Stephen, deceased), Lee Halley (Joye Hall), and Jodi Worthen (Troy). He was also a cherished grandfather to 19 grandchildren, 55 great-grandchildren, and 11 great-great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Vivian; three grandchildren; three brothers; three sisters; and his parents.

Niles will be remembered as a kind-hearted, joyful man who loved his family, his faith, and his country. He finally got his wish to be reunited with his beloved Vivian, leaving behind a legacy of love and service.

The family wishes to thank Dignity Hospice for two years of service to Niles, especially Renee, Hailey, Melissa, Tara, Maddie, Melody and Dr. Doyle.

A viewing will be held on Saturday, April 18, 2026 from 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM at Wallsburg Chapel at 494 W Main Canyon Rd, Wallsburg, UT 84082. Following the viewing a funeral service will be held at 11:00 AM. Interment will take place in the Wallsburg Cemetery following the services.

Kyle Darren Webb

Kyle Darren Webb was born April 10,1996 to loving parents Tonia Tippetts Webb and David Webb in Heber City, Utah. Kyle joined two older brothers, Dallin and Dustin. These three brothers would later excitedly welcome a sister: Kayla.

Kyle grew up in the Heber Valley surrounded by Nature’s breathtaking beauty. His parents took care to nurture his appreciation of that beauty through regular family outings to mountains, lakes, and anywhere else that offered hiking, camping, fishing, peace and serenity.

He was a kind soul… gentle, sensitive, thoughtful and caring. He was also very athletic, competitive, funny, and smart.

Kyle had a quick, broad smile and an easy, comfortable demeanor that drew people to him. He became quick friends with anyone he met. His Friends meant the world to him, and he cherished every moment spent in their company. All “adopted” Kyle as one of their own. Kyle loved people, and people loved Kyle.

He worked hard throughout his schooling, got excellent grades, participated in scouting, was active in church, played the piano and more…all while holding down a job. One of those jobs was at Heber’s famous Dairy Keen.

Kyle was a member of Wasatch High School’s swimming team and was an important part of that team’s State Championship in 2013 where he won both individual and team state honors.

After high school Kyle chose to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was called to serve in Lima, Peru. Before his departure, he treated all those friends and family members who could join him at that same Dairy Keen, personally helping to serve up the deliciousness with love. Kyle enjoyed his service in Peru and loved the people-who loved him right back- and loved sharing the message of hope through Jesus Christ.

Kyle loved his family and connected whenever possible with his siblings-including through Online video games. He was particularly tender to-and especially protective of-his sister, Kayla.

He loved visiting his grandmas and grandpas and had particularly close relationships with his niece Ember and his Aunt Susie. With Susie he felt free and comfortable. He dearly loved his parents and would go fishing with his dad just to spend time with him.

He loved spending time with his mom in her beautiful garden. A fan of butterflies, Kyle planted specific flowers to attract and feed them. He also kept a thriving herb garden which brought him pride and added goodness to the family’s cooking. These times were precious times for both parents and son.

Kyle led a life of meaningful work and service. He enjoyed doing electrical work with Ollie and Payden Button in their business. He really looked up to them as examples of good, hard work.

He also worked with Alex Whiting on Kohler’s Farm with the Halloween Haunted Hayrides. Being on that beautiful land with his good friends and the dogs brought him tremendous joy. He also enjoyed working with Jason Binder and Kyle Kohler at Rigid Builders.

Throughout his life, he loved his friends and looked forward to seeing them.

Kyle found peace in nature: Swimming in the lake. Watching birds in the morning. Then drawing them. Going on Hard Runs. Snowboarding. He was master of the half-pipe. He was the man with a big heart.

No one wants their personal health problem or weakness to be their defining characteristic. And Kyle’s challenges with mental health should only be a footnote in his beautiful story. This grace we must grant each other, whether our struggles are visible and public, or invisible and private. In the end, Kyle’s became unbearable and he couldn’t overcome them.

Despite this, Kyle leaves behind numerous life lessons that he taught clearly and plainly through example: Love the beauty around you, add to it, and nurture it. Love God, your family and friends, and treasure them. Work hard. Develop your talents. and Share them with those you love. Compete to win. Add goodness where you can. Keep a space where those who struggle can feel safe and free.

Kyle is survived by his parents, David and Tonia Webb, siblings: Dallin (Moranne) Webb, Dustin (Sierra) Webb, Kayla Webb; as well as grandparents, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, niece Ember and nephews Finn and Wesley, and his dog Remmi.

Viewing hours will be from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Thursday , and Friday at 9:00am-10:30am.

Kyle’s celebration of life service Friday, April 17th at 11:00am. Charleston Town Hall, 3454 W 3400 South, Charleston, UT 84032. Interment Charleston Cemetery

Skyler Shane Folkman

Skyler Shane Folkman, known to those who loved him as Sky, Skweela, and George, passed away on March 23, 2026, in Heber, Utah. He was 28 years old, born on December 3, 1997, in Ogden, Utah.

From the time he was young, Skyler lived with a fierce and boundless energy that drew people to him. He was the kind of person who loved with everything he had, holding nothing back, and anyone lucky enough to be in his orbit knew it. His smile was contagious, the kind that lit up a room the moment he walked in. He had a humor that came so naturally it could catch you off guard, and he never failed to make the people around him laugh. He was loyal as hell, and he showed up for anyone and everyone who needed him.

Skyler was a gifted skateboarder who won numerous competitions over the years, earning respect in a community that meant a great deal to him. He was also a talented artist and musician, pouring his creativity into everything he touched and leaving behind a body of work that will continue to speak for him. Beyond his own passions, Skyler became a mentor to many people who were struggling, offering the kind of steady, honest presence that can change someone's life. He loved camping, riding motorcycles, and getting lost in a good book, but perhaps nothing brought him more joy than being an uncle. No one made the kids laugh and smile quite like Uncle Sky, and that is a truth his family will carry with them always.

Skyler is survived by his mother, Natali Folkman; his father, Mike Folkman; his brothers, Logan Folkman and Dawson Givens; his sister, Kayla Givens; his nieces, Quincy and Haisley Givens; his nephew, Pierce Givens; and his grandparents, Linda and Ken Folkman. He was deeply loved by each of them and by a wide circle of friends who considered him family.

The family has said their private goodbyes to Skyler and will hold a celebration of life to share memories with everyone when the time feels right. Details will be shared when they are ready.

333.

Keith R. Gertsch

Keith Gertsch, born January 13, 1953, in Midway, Utah, as the first child to Reed and Maxine Gertsch, died on April 6, 2026, from heart failure. Keith lived his entire life in Midway, Utah. He was raised with strong Swiss family traditions, where life on the farm instilled in him the value of hard work from an early age.

He worked construction for many years in Salt Lake with Christensen Construction. Then he followed his dream of being his own boss and started Midway Saddle Tree. He was a dedicated craftsman of Western heritage, known for his work as a custom saddle tree maker, and his work was highly sought after.

He married Suzanne Lloyd, and together they had two daughters. He later divorced. He then married Donna Lynne Jackson. Together they found a special happiness, blending their families and bonding over mountain jeep rides.

He had a love for the outdoors, hunting, and classic Quarter Horses. To him, a good horse wasn’t just an animal—it was a partner.

Keith found joy in giving his grandchildren wide-open fields to roam and snowmobiles to ride, creating a lifetime of memories.

Preceded in death by spouse, Donna; stepdaughter, Cindy Olinghouse; parents; and brother Steven. Survived by: his brothers, Jon (Arleen) Gertsch and Lynn Gertsch; his daughters, Sunny (Ra) Yeates and Stefannie Phillips; stepson, Jason Parker; grandchildren, Kimberly Beard, Blake Kohler, Carson Kohler, Zak Phillips, Benjamin Kohler, Gavin Phillips, Sydney Phillips, and Brayden Phillips; and eight great-grandchildren.

A graveside service will be held on Friday, April 24, 2026 at 11:00 AM at the Midway City Cemetery.

Marvin Eugene Miller

Marvin E. Miller was the BEST of all things wonderful. He was born to Anne and John Miller in Los Angeles, California on May 24, 1930. Eventually the family moved to Burley, Idaho when he was 12 years old. Marvin loved Burley; it is where he met the love of his life Margaret and they married there in 1949. Their daughter Kathy soon came in 1950.

Shortly after Kathy was born, the family moved to Whittier, California. Marvin’s brother Don had a plumbing business there. Don gifted Marvin a plumbing truck, and he moved to Hawthorne, California and started Miller Plumbing. Dad met some good guys to work with and had much success. Their second child Ann was born in Norwalk, California.

Eventually, Dad moved to Rolling Hills in California. Later, their third child Tom was born in Palos Verdes, California. During Marvin’s time in Rolling Hills, he made good friends and found The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In the next year he took Mom and all of us to the temple so we could be sealed for time and eternity - best day ever!

He loved to work hard and play hard. He loved his family dearly. As a family we often skied together, traveled all over the country, hung out in Heber at Miller’s Outpost, and enjoyed going to BYU football games. Marvin’s biggest love was his wife Margaret Ann Wyatt Miller. They have a great love story. Marvin and Margaret worked in the temple together every Thursday for 25 years.

Dad loved America! The whole family spent one Fourth of July evening on the Washington DC Mall listening to military bands.

Marvin was very kind and generous to everyone. He made friends easily and they stayed friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother, and his sister. He survived by his three children, 12 grandchildren, 39 great-grandchildren, and 4 great-great-grandchildren.

We also would like to give a heartfelt thanks to Covington Assisted Living and their wonderful workers. We are so grateful for their wonderful care of our parents.

We love you Dad and you will be missed, but you will live on in our memories!

A graveside service to celebrate Marvin will be held on Saturday, April 11, 2026 at 2 PM at the Heber City Cemetery at 680 North 550 East, Heber City, UT 84032.
