VETERAN
Orem and Southern Utah and the large Chamberlain family lost an ardent enthusiast and a dear patriarch when Jonathan Mack Chamberlain passed away at his home on Monday, November 30, 2015. Born with his fraternal twin brother, Thomas Max, at Pine Crest Ranch near Alton, Utah to Guy and Vera Heaton Chamberlain on August 26, 1928, Jonathan has called Orem, Utah his home since 1970.
With his six siblings, Jonathan learned the value of hard work at the ranch, on the farm, and while working in the Kanab Hotel and Cafe. He was a journeyman carpenter at age 17 and worked with his twin and older brothers building homes in Kanab, Mesa, and Hollywood. Later, he was his twin brother's first companion for eight months in the North Central States Mission (1948-50) where their duties included rebuilding flood-damaged homes in Winnipeg, Canada.
During the Korean Conflict he served in London, England in the US Air Force (1951-53) as a career guidance specialist. On leave, January 16th, 1953, he married Beverly Christensen in the Salt Lake Temple. She had served in the same mission. They had five children together, and celebrated 57 years of marriage before Beverly passed away in 2010. He later married Janet Baker Schofield Clark on June 1, 2013.
Jonathan's schooling, career, and church service were distinguished and exemplary. He graduated 1958 with honors from BYU in English and French and taught high school and seminary for five years in Panaca, Nevada. He also served a stake mission and was a leader in the Uvada Stake Seventies Quorum. Always interested in furthering his education, he earned both his master's degree in guidance and counseling (1964) and a doctorate in psychology and counselor education at the University of Wyoming in Laramie (1967) while serving in the bishopric of the Laramie Student Ward.
With his PhD, he became the Director of The Regional Child Study Services for five school districts in Southeastern Utah. In 1970 he joined the BYU Faculty as professor of psychology in the student counseling center and the Educational Psychology Department, retiring in 1993. Dr. Chamberlain was a popular BYU Education Week speaker for many years and conducted workshops in Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, and California. He maintained a private practice as a licensed psychologist and marriage and family therapist. His church service included: teacher, Scoutmaster, counselor in ward and branch presidencies, bishop, high councilor, temple ordinance worker, missionary for LDS Family Services, and many other callings.
Dr. Chamberlain was the well-known author of several books, most notably "Eliminate Your SDB's (Self-Defeating Behaviors)," as well as the book, "Happy Is the Man," a documented, social biography of his grandfather, Thomas Chamberlain, who was a leader in the United Order in Kane County, Utah area. Dr. Chamberlain received many awards for his work, including national recognition for his BYU and private home study course in Eliminating Self-defeating Behaviors, through which he helped many hundreds to overcome personal problems.
He is survived by his wife, Janet, and five children: Lori Judd (Darrel), Charles Chamberlain (Laraine), Lisa Chamberlain, Mark Chamberlain (Diana), David Chamberlain (India), his brother Cloyd Chamberlain (LaRue), and sister Avon "Bonnie" Cutler (Mark), and daughter-in-law Meryle Lynn Lavenstein Chamberlain. He is also survived by 27 grandchildren and 34 great grandchildren, and three step-daughters, 21 step-grandchildren, and 16 step-great grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his wife, Beverly; parents; great-granddaughter, Milagro; brothers: Lamond, Garth, Thomas; and sister LaDonna Chamberlain Hamblin Ogden. He will be missed by many, but welcomed by many more.
