Robert Dansie (Dan) Higbee passed away suddenly on March 8, 2017 in Price at the age of sixty-four.
He was born June 21, 1952 in Salt Lake City to Robert Leroy and Afton Dansie Higbee. After an LDS mission to England, he married Verna LaRue Wilkinson in the Salt Lake Temple on September 6, 1974.
Dan spent his teenage years in California after spending his youth on air force bases in Florida and Morocco, Africa. He attended Ramona High School in California, where he played the trumpet in jazz and marching bands developing a love for music.
He earned a few credits at Westminster College and University of Utah before choosing to focus on working for Utah Power and Light supporting his young family. He eventually retired from UP&L in 2005.
He enjoyed reading and family history and could often be found doing both. He had a lifelong love for learning and worked to earn a Bachelor's degree from USU-Eastern.
He was a faithful Latter-day Saint and fulfilled many callings. He loved being a part of the scouting program. He was a perfect example of serving your fellowman by opening his life and home to hosts of children.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Robert Leroy and Afton Higbee. He is survived by his wife, Verna; children, Robert (Jaime) Higbee, Letisia (Clifford) Chubbuck, Salomon Cazares, Brandon (Suzanne) Higbee, Jonathan (Kristy) Higbee, Tanya (Austin) Skousen, Courtney Haskie-Higbee, Kara Higbee, Faith Haskie-Higbee, Michael Higbee, Kyle Higbee, Ashleigh Higbee, Cody Higbee, and including Lacie (Stephen) Tallerico, Cammie Haskie, Felicia Burton, KaRanda Krompel, Lucinda Kaytso, and Tristan Ritchie; many grandchildren; sisters, Patti (Michael) McKinley and Gerri (Bobby) Espinoza; and parents-in-law, Gerald and Donna Wilkinson.
