A Pepsodent smile, a talented, generous and compassionate man, Jack was a champion of the underdog who possessed unwavering ideals and an unmatched sense of humor. Born in Salt Lake City to Wilford Kendrick and Eunice Agnes Bytheway, he graduated from South High in 1944. Serving his country aboard the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga during World War II, he survived kamikaze attacks near Iwo Jima in February 1945. In 1951, he graduated from the University of Utah and married Diane Mae Jarman in the Salt Lake Temple. Six months later, he was called to serve a two-year New England States Mission. Retiring as a geologist from the State of Utah in 1987, he was employed in Mosquito Abatement, while attending college, a draftsman and genealogist at El Paso Natural Gas and Anaconda. Through the years, he instilled in his children a deep appreciation for a variety of good music. A scientist by occupation, an artist by avocation, he educated his family to the wonders and beauties of the earth and sky. His steadfast adherence to correct principles continues to strengthen and shape his posterity.

(Kim) Bytheway, Jeri (John) Benson, Sally (Mike) Brinton all of Salt Lake City and Becky (Perry) Christensen, Mapleton; 25 grandchildren and one great grandchild; two brothers, Roy, Salt Lake and Ben, Seattle, Washington; two sisters, Donna Larsen, Salt Lake, and Phyllis Malone, Ogden.
