John L. Alvord

John L. Alvord SOUTH OGDEN - John Lloyd Alvord returned to his Heavenly Father and loved ones on Monday, August 25, 2008, after struggling with illnesses. John was born on August 18, 1948, in Ogden, UT. He lived in South Ogden, next to the Ogden Country Club where he developed a love of golf. In 1967, he served an LDS mission to Ohio, followed by an education at Weber State in accounting. In 1971 he married Launa Weaver and began a career in the IRS. They lived in New York, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania, but returned to Utah with their children: Chad, Jacob, Ben, and Mekinzie. John lived in North Ogden, but moved back to his childhood home in South Ogden in 2007. John enjoyed sports (especially WSU basketball), the outdoors, art, good music, and chocolate. But most of all, John loved his family and was very proud of them. Likewise, his family loved him. He is survived by many, including his mother Dorothea DeYoung.
