Mike passed away peacefully, at the age of 86, on Monday, May 8, 2006. He was born February 19, 1920, in Granger, Utah, to John Howard and Mary Olive Smith Bawden, the youngest of 18 children. He served a mission to the California Mission, returning to marry the love of his life, Beverly Willard, on January 9, 1942, in the Salt Lake Temple; she preceded him in death in 1996. Mike was a faithful Latter-day Saint, serving in many auxiliaries: as counselor in the Jordan North 5th Ward Bishopric, as secretary to the president of the Jordan River Temple, as a temple ordinance worker and a temple sealer. He was a wonderful friend, father and grandfather. We will all miss him. He is survived by his four sons and daughters: Michael and Pamela, Dennis and Joyce, Timothy and Joana and Terry and Rhonda; 20 grandchildren; 33 great-grandchil dren (with three on the way). Preceded in death by parents and all of his brothers and sisters. The family wishes to thank Caleen, a very special friend, along with her family, for their love. They also wish to thank Crosslands Rehabilitation Center, especially Glenn and Frances, for their devoted service. Funeral services will be held Saturday, May 13, 2006, 12:00 noon, at the South Jordan River LDS Ward, 1244 W. Chavez Drive (9700 South).
