Clyde LaVell Edwards Jr.
1934 - 2019
Early Life: Clyde was born May 16, 1934, in Provo, Utah, the son of Clyde LaVell Edwards Sr. and Hester Elizabeth "Beth" Johnson Edwards. He graduated from Lincoln High School in 1954.
Life’s Work | Service | Interests: He married his childhood sweetheart, Karen Zabriskie, in 1955, in the Salt Lake Temple. They first met when Karen was in the 6th grade and Clyde was in the 8th. He was a quiet man, but when he spoke, his words were quite profound. He was known as a man without guile by many of his friends. He could install or repair nearly anything, including: furnaces and air conditioners in large buildings such as the State Capital, banks, schools and temples as well as in homes and businesses. He was a wonderful neighbor and an even better friend. If neighbors and friends needed him, he would go to their house, fix the furnace or whatever was broken and then quietly leave, and they never got a bill—ever. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Clyde served two missions, one as a stake missionary and one with his wife in North Carolina. He served in the bishopric, as a temple worker for seven years, Young Men president, Scout leader, ward clerk and many other jobs. Clyde LaVell Edwards Jr. passed away April 16, 2019, in Lindon, Utah, surrounded by his family after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. He was 84.
