Jesse Edward "Ed" Fox, 66, of Ucon, died Saturday, Dec. 13, 2014, in Idaho Falls, from complications following open heart surgery.
He was born in Salt Lake City on Feb. 25, 1948, to Samuel Ross Fox and Blanch South Fox.
Ed grew up on Commonwealth Avenue in Salt Lake City and graduated from Granite High School. He also attended his junior year at Madison High School in Rexburg while living with Sterling and Erma Magleby. After high school, he served an LDS mission in England.
He met the love of his life, Bev Grover, in 1974. It was love at first sight, and he proposed six days later. They were married shortly after July 26, 1974. This year marked their 40th anniversary. They lived in the Salt Lake area until 1981. In October of that year, they moved to Idaho Falls and have lived in this area since. He worked in the cabinet and counter-top business for over 40 years. The highlight of his career was owning Foxtree Countertops and "working with his sons" everyday.
He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he served willingly in several callings. In recent years, he enjoyed serving and cooking at the local soup kitchen.
Ed's favorite pastime was spending time with his family. He delighted in making memories with his children and grandchildren. He and Bev could often be found cheering them on at various activities. He also loved spending time with his dog, Eva, and his friends at the dog park. Ed had a lifelong quest for knowledge and a passion for ingenuity. He loved to be challenged and spent several years training for and running marathons.
He is survived by his wife, Beverly; his children, Stacie (Greg) Dye of Idaho Falls, Ty (Pam) Fox of Rigby and Mike (Tina) Fox of Idaho Falls; his siblings, Ross (Kathy) Fox of Washington, Richard (Barbara) Fox of Utah, Joyce (T) Buehner of Utah and Chuck (Sandra) Fox of Utah; and "blood" brother, John Yazzie of Arizona, as well as nine grandchildren with one on the way… whom he is currently spoiling in heaven.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Thomas Fox.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, Dec. 19, at Ucon LDS Stake Center, 2967 E. 105 North, with Bishop Michael Gifford officiating. Burial will follow in Sutton Cemetery in Archer, Idaho. A viewing for family and friends will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday at Buck-Miller-Hann Funeral Home, 825 E. 17th St., and one hour prior to Friday's funeral at the church.
