HUNTSVILLE – Carl Dewey Taylor passed away May 18, 2019 at his home in Huntsville, Utah. Dewey resided in Huntsville for 29 years and was a former resident of Sandy, UT and Phoenix, AZ.
Dewey was born in Colonia Dublan, Chihuahua, Mexico on June 29, 1920 to Charles Franklin and Martha May Bowler Taylor. He married Marie Wahlin June 26, 1941 in the Mesa, AZ LDS Temple.
Dewey owned and operated an automotive service center in Phoenix for 40 years. He served as a Sergeant in the U.S. Army during World War II in the Pacific Theater, serving most of his time in Okinawa. He was active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and served in many positions, including the young men’s organization, Scouting (where he was honored with the Silver Beaver award), as a counselor in a Stake Presidency and as a Temple Ordinance Worker. He served a mission with Marie in the Dallas, TX Temple and served as a Temple Sealer for 23 years. Temple work was a great joy in his life! In his last years he enjoyed being outside and mowing the lawn but his greatest joy were the visits with his family and his great grandchildren.
Dewey is preceded in death by his eternal companion, Marie, his parents, all siblings and 2 great grandchildren. He is survived by his 5 daughters: Judy (Jerry) Allred of Huntsville, UT; JoAnn (Jim) Greene of Rexburg, ID; Carla (Austin) Horn of St. George, UT; Peggy Taylor of Mesa, AZ; and Deborah Granieri of Couer d’Alene, ID; 21 grandchildren; 80 great-grandchildren; and 15 great- great grandchildren.
The family wishes to express their gratitude to all the friends and neighbors for their compassionate support of our father, as well as CNS Hospice- especially Danita and Andrew for their tender care and support.
