Our loving father, grandfather, and husband, C. Ray Van Leuven, of West Jordan, Utah, died December 23, 2013 at his home.
Ray was born April 29, 1935 in Takoma Park, Maryland to C. Ray and Vera Johnson Van Leuven.
When he was fourteen years old, Ray lost his father to heart disease and helped his mother move her family of three boys to Vernal, Utah, where he spent the rest of his youth. Ray served an honorable church mission in the Netherlands from 1955-1958.
After returning home, he met the love of his life, Jeanine Eldredge, and they were married on April 23, 1959 in the Salt Lake Temple.
Ray graduated in the new field of Computer Science at Weber State College and began his career with the State of Utah as a valued computer programmer.
He dutifully served in various church callings including ward clerk, stake sunday school superintendent, ward and stake missionary, and high councilman. He was a man known well for his faith, his obedience, and his absolute dependability.
Ray is survived by his wife, Jeanine Van Leuven; daughters: Lauri (David) Hinton, Valerie (Kent) Ockey, and Amber (Tyler) Barrus; son Jerry (Cathi) Van Leuven; seventeen grandchildren; one great-grandchild; and brother, Dale Van Leuven.
