Max D. North, our father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed from his earthly existence to his eternal home on September 5, 2010. He resided at 140 East 400 North in Heber City, Utah at the time of his death.
He was born April 25, 1923 in Charleston, UT to Perry D. and Lula Wright North. He spent his childhood in Charleston making life-long friends, attending school there and growing up to be the handsome man he always was. He graduated from Wasatch High School.
As a young man, he was drafted into the military to serve his country. He served valiantly in this war effort in the 695 Armored Field Artillery. He participated in the Normandy Invasion on Omaha Beach, the breakthrough of Saint Lo, the Argonne Forest, Bastogne, the Liberation of France, the European Theater, and the Battle of the Bulge.
He married Betty Ann Duke when he returned from the military. Their marriage was sealed in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple in 1960.
Dad worked for the Utah State Fish and Game. He worked at the Midway Hatchery and then the Whiterocks Hatchery for five years as Superintendent. He spent the remainder of his career at the Midway hatchery as Superintendent. He loved the work, gave it his best effort, and was very successful at raising millions of fish to be planted in the lakes and streams of Utah for forty-five years.
Memories of his great sense of humor will remain with us because of the many stories we hold in our hearts that he gave us. Growing up during the depression era, he was a self-made man, accomplishing many things that he did on his own. He was always willing and helped his children in any way that he could.
A huge part of our love for our father was in the way he stepped up to the call of assisting our mother for five years after she suffered a stroke. He was there for her every need and made it possible that she could remain in her own home until she passed away.
Max is survived by one daughter, Jeanne (Ralph) Sorensen, three sons, Lee (Melanie), Phil (Carla) and Kirk (Melodie), fifteen grandchildren, nineteen great-grandchildren, a brother Barton, and a sister Betty Lue Orgill. He was preceded in death by his wife, his parents, a son Craig, and grandsons Michael and Preston, a half-brother, Eugene North, and a half-sister LaPreal Barnes.
We will honor our father at a funeral service held on Thursday, September 9, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. in the Heber North Stake Center, 500 North 550 East, Heber City. Friends may call from 9:30-10:30 a.m. prior to the services at the Church, and Wednesday, September 8, 2010 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at Olpin-Hoopes Funeral Home, 288 North Main Street, Heber City.
