LOGAN - Everett C. Thorpe, 78, considered one of Utah's foremost artists, died Saturday at a local nursing home.
Mr. Thorpe received his bachelor's degree from Utah State University and attended Chouinard Art Institue in Los Angeles. Mr. Thorpe did graduate work at Syracuse University in New York and Hanns Hoffman School of Art in Cape Cod, Mass.
Most of his undergraduate education was made possible by famous sports sketches and cartoons which had appeared in nearly all the Intermountain Region newspapers since 1934. In 1936, he was given the position of instructor in commercial art and design at USU. He taught there until 1972.
Mr. Thorpe was a member of the National Mural Society, Logan Rotary Club, and Logan Golf and Country Club. He was the founder of the Allied Artists Club and was a charter member of Sigma Phi Epsilon at USU.
Mr. Thorpe was born Aug. 22, 1904, Providence, Cache County, to James Alfred and Violet Bullock Thorpe. He married Doris Britzell July 2, 1942, in Soda Springs, Idaho.
Survivors include his widow, Logan; son, E. Gregory, Salt Lake City; daughter, Mrs. Roger (Leslee Jane) Budge, San Rafael, Calif., and three grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday noon at Hall Mortuary Chapel, where friends may call Tuesday 7 to 9 p.m., and Wednesday 10:30 a.m. until services. Burial will be in the Logan City Cemetery.
The family suggests contributions to the Everett Thorpe Scholarship Fund at Utah State University.

********************************************
Ev began his career in figurative art as a sports illustrator for The Salt Lake Tribune and The Deseret News. Thorpe's work was exhibited at the Utah Art Center (1938-45) and at the Utah State Institute of Fine Arts in 1946.
In 1967, I was fortunate enough to have Ev as one of my art instructors at Utah State. He was a wonderful teacher and fun too--not just because he was a relative but also because he really enjoyed art, and sharing that with young people.
