In Loving Memory...
Craig Cutler Merrill, age 69, passed away October 8, 2011 due to injuries he suffered from a bicycle accident in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Born March 14, 1942 in Salt Lake City to Dr. Rowland Hyde Merrill and Margaret Cutler Merrill, he was the fourth of five children. He attended East High School and served an LDS mission to West Germany in 1963-64. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Pre-med and a minor in German Language and Literature at the University of Utah. He married Mardean Workman December 16, 1965. Craig later attended medical school at Temple University in Philadelphia, yet desired a change, which resulted in his completing a Master's degree in Public Health Administration at the University of California Berkeley.
Early in his career, Craig held positions teaching biology to inner-city youth in Philadelphia and helping to improve conditions for migrant workers in the state of Utah. The highlight of Craig's career was his position as an Assistant Administrator at Primary Children's Medical Center. He acted as the liaison between the hospital and the architects. The last years of his career were spent working in the Diabetes Control Program for the Utah Department of Health, where he received recognition for his published works.
Craig loved nature. He raised sick and injured birds back to health. He loved to camp, fish, hunt, and explore North America with his family. He had a good eye for spotting wildlife and enjoyed discovering the beauty of God's creations. He had a passion for history, reading, travel, and cycling. Craig could not pass up an opportunity to bike on a scenic road or in good weather. He began biking at 54 and was able to complete several century tours and charity rides. He got a kick out of each of his grandchildren and always seized the opportunity to steal a hug or kiss. He was always willing to help an individual in genuine need. He loved a good challenge and was a great competitor, whether it was a game of cards, ping pong, cycling, or debating politics. He was grateful for his pioneer ancestry. He relished the friendships he made in every phase of his life.
During the last two years, Craig and his wife, Mardean, served as ordinance workers in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. He was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many callings throughout his life. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Craig is preceded in death by his parents; brother, Rowland Jr. and sister, Margot. He is survived by his spouse, a brother, sister; four children; and five grandchildren, whom he loved dearly.
A viewing was held at Jenkins-Soffe Mortuary, 1007 West South Jordan Parkway, on Wednesday evening, October 12, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm and prior to funeral services at the Rose Canyon Stake Center, 7079 Rose Canyon Road, Herriman, from 10:00 to 11:15 am on Thursday, October 13. Funeral services began at 11:30 am, with Bishop Michael Lasater officiating. Interment, Herriman City Cemetery.
