Rand Jarvis

A loving and kind man, William Rand Jarvis, 62, of Bountiful, died Thursday, August 20, 2009 following a recent stroke.

Born May 27, 1947 in Provo, UT to William Dayle and Diane Faulkner Jarvis, he married Judy Clark in 1969 in Pleasant Grove, UT. They later divorced, but during this marriage, two sons and two daughters were born. In 1996 he married his sweetheart, Christine Clements, in the Bountiful, Utah Temple. With open arms, Rand welcomed Christine''s ten children into his family.

Growing up at Dugway Proving Grounds, he graduated from Dugway High School in 1965. He served a full time mission in Northern California for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He attended BYU and Snow College. He worked at JC Penny''s Automotive Department in Orem as a supervisor for several years, and later as lead man for the Granite School District Purchasing Warehouse, retiring in the summer of 2008.

Rand''s passions were his family, all things outdoors, leather crafts, snakes, hunting and traveling. Since kindergarten, he and Barton Palmer, his best friend, have been inseparable in their hunting activities and other adventures.
