Our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Douglas Myron Bateman, returned home to his Heavenly Father on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2006, of complications from pneumonia, after completing a successful mission on earth.

Douglas was born July 20, 1918 to Samuel Sterling Bateman and Edith Taylor Bateman in Magna.

He married Leta Wright in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.

He was an active member of the Tooele Sixth Ward. Doug served the Lord through his many church callings, including having served in three bishoprics and an advisor to three deacon quorums. He was always willing to help out whenever asked.

Doug served his country in World War II as an Army Infantryman. He loved hunting, fishing, and spending time with his family. He loved to bowl, golf and play baseball; however, his greatest pastime was watching BYU football on Saturday afternoons.

He graduated from Cyprus High School. He attended watch repair classes and worked at the Bateman Jewelry store. He also retired from the Tooele Army Depot. Prior to World War II, he worked at Lockheed Aircraft in California.

He is survived by his wife, Leta; children, Gloria and Isaac C. Ferguson (Ghana, Africa), Larry and Sherrue Bateman (Layton), Eileen and Dave Risley (Rochester, Illinois), Myron and Miriam Bateman (Tooele), Curtis and Julie Bateman (Centerville), and Boyd and Ronda Bateman (Kaysville); thirty-one grandchildren; twenty-seven great-grandchildren; half-brothers, Sterling and Jill Bateman, Harold and Laurel Bateman, and Robert and Jamie Bateman; and half-sister, Kaye Christensen. He was preceded in his death by his grandchildren, Sharmayn Ferguson, CarrieAnn Bateman, and Jay Bateman; parents; sister, Maurine Solomon; and brothers, Jay and David Bateman.

Our beloved father gave us a legacy of love and precious memories we will treasure forever. Dad, till we meet again.

There will be a viewing held on Wednesday , December 27, 2006 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Tate Mortuary in Tooele. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, December 28, 2006 at 11:00 a.m. in the Tooele Stake Center, 225 South 200 East, Tooele, where a viewing will be held prior from 9:30 until 10:45 a.m.
