Theron Kenneth Wood
1942 - 2022
VETERAN
❦ Early Life: Theron was born August 28, 1942, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Willis and Ida "Cordelia" Winter Wood, and raised by his mother and stepfather, William Boam. He graduated from Granite High School in 1960.
❦ Life's Work | Service | Interests: Theron served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Toronto, Canada. He then served his country with the United States Marine Corps Reserve. On June 2, 1966, he married his sweetheart, Vicki Mayhew, in the Salt Lake Temple. They were getting ready to celebrate their 56th wedding anniversary. Theron loved to spend time outdoors fishing, hunting and camping, but was at his happiest when he was with his wife, kids, and grandkids (unless the fishing was really good). He was a great mentor to many youth as a church leader, coach, and friend. His hands were comparable to 80-grit sandpaper. This came from long days working as a carpenter and home builder. Even though he had strong, tough hands, he never lost the soft touch of a father. He taught his children to work hard every day, never complain, and never lose sight of the important things in life. Theron and Vicki served for 12 years as missionaries in Salt Lake City at the Conference Center and Tabernacle, serving and ministering to thousands of people. He was kind and compassionate to everyone he met and knew how to make everyone feel special and loved. Theron Kenneth Wood passed away on April 2, 2022, surrounded by his family. He was 79.
❦ Survived By: His wife, Vicki; seven children: Roger (Lynnette), Jason (Jena), Ryan (Holly), Dale (April), Jeff (Olivia), Julie (Tyler) Adams and Kevin (Ashley); 40 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
