  	WEST POINT: It is with great honor that we as a family celebrate the life of Richard (Dick) Kearsley. We will be forever blessed because of the lessons he taught us through his Christ-like example. Dick was born on October 13, 1926 in Victor, Idaho, to Ed and Ethel Kearsley. He graduated from St. Helen's High School in Oregon. On January 11, 1945 in the Salt Lake Temple, he married his beautiful sweetheart, Marvel (Marte) Atwood, and fo6 years has treated her like a queen. Their love and devotion to each other is a continued reminder of what an "eternal marriage" really is. He served a two-year tour of duty with the U.S. Army. He worked in the service industry (heating, air-conditioning, appliance repair) for most of his life. In 1971, he and Marte started Dick Kearsley Service Center in Clearfield, Utah. He loved the Lord, Jesus Christ, with all of his heart, and showed his love by the many years of service he gave. He served in many positions in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as well as serving missions in Micronesia, Guam;rtland, Oregon; and Nauvoo, Illinois with his equally devoted companion, Marte. Family and friends have wonderful memories of time spent traveling, golfing, boating, snowmobiling, riding horses, and woodworking. He is survived by his wife, Marvel; his children and their spouses: Mike and Karen, Ogden; Doug and Joleen, Morgan; Jay and Candy, Clinton; Jeanette and Tom Henkel, Idaho; and Karen and Alan Sibert, Clinton. Dick and Marvel are so proud of tr 30 grandchildren, 55 great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandchildren. Dick was preceded in death by his sons, Tommy (died in Viet Nam) and Steven. Funeral services will be held Saturday, September 11, 2010 at 11 a.m. at the West Point 9th Ward, 855 N. 4000 W. Friends may visit with family Friday at Lindquist's Layton Mortuary, 1867 N.
