Dennis Nordfelt Obituary
Dennis J. Nordfelt, 71, peacefully returned to his Heavenly Father on August 30, 2014. He was born March 2, 1943 in Salina, Utah to Charles Junior and Ellen Tolboe Nordfelt. He was raised in Moab, Utah in a home nurtured in warmth and love. In his youth he began to develop his love of the outdoors, which he passed on to his own posterity. He served a mission for the LDS Church to the East Central States Mission. Upon his return, Dennis married his childhood sweetheart, Glenda Carlson, on August 31, 1965, in the Manti Temple.
His chosen profession was in law enforcement with the Utah Highway Patrol and West Valley City Police Department. He also served as Mayor of West Valley City. He was a natural-born and effective leader, which allowed him to contribute to his community in lasting ways. Dennis lifted everyone he met by his kindness and sincere friendship. He was blessed with a great sense of humor and an amazing memory, and was ever-ready with a witty joke, an applicable story, or a heartfelt message. He possessed a magic touch: always leaving people and projects better than when he'd found them. He changed lives. He loved people and people loved him in return.
His professional success was dwarfed by his success as a husband, father and grandfather. His world revolved around his family and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he served in many church callings and leadership roles, most recently serving with his sweetheart, Glenda, as Hosting Missionaries at the LDS Conference Center. Dennis had faith in the Savior and showed his love for God by serving and loving others.
Dennis is survived by the love of his life, Glenda, and nine grateful children, Dennis (Marcelle), Lars (Jana), Shane (Bonnie), Chris (Mandy), Julie Doherty (Chris), Spencer (Joy), Lantz (Tennisa), Pam Thomas (Shawn), Jed (Cyndi), his thirty-four grandchildren; as well as his siblings, Bonnie Day, Craig (Dixie), Kirtly (Gay), Dana Springer (Norm), MoNene Manzanares (Billy) and SuEllen Denison (Richard). He is preceded in death by his loving parents; and brother-in-law, Larry Day.
Funeral Services will be held Saturday, September 6, 2014 at 12:00 p.m. at the Jordan North Stake Center, 3900 South 4000 West, West Valley City, Utah. Satellite overflow will be available at the chapel on 4250 South Falcon Street (4145 West). A viewing will be held Friday, September 5, 2014 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the chapel on Falcon Street and also Saturday before funeral services from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Jordan North Stake Center. Interment, Valley View Cemetery, 4400 West 4100 South, where police honors will be given. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the LDS Temple Patron Assistance Fund.

I worked at WVPD from 1997-2007. I had much respect for your father/grandfather. One little story: one time during the holidays he was in the back of a truck handing out turkeys. (I was a clerk and a kidder) Your father was wearing a turkey decoration on his head. I pointed at him directly and said "I want that turkey!" He just laughed and handed me one of the regular turkeys. I appreciated his reaction.

Once in a while a gospel teaching from Dennis will come to my mind during a PH/ Sunday School discussion or a Sacrament talk. I still can see him in my mind's eye sitting on the stand next to Glenda as she led music. He was a beloved spirtual and community leader as well as a great neighbor and devoted family man. Because of the Atonement and Ressurection of our Savior Jesus Christ, I will see Dennis Nordfelt again in the flesh.

Colonel Dennis Nordfelt was one I would like to be like. Many times his guidance and leadership took me in the right direction. I have a written note from him that he gave me at a UHPA meeting. As I sat down from addressing the group about salary concerns with the legislature. He wrote"You handled that very well, took the powder out of their guns before they could fire." He was just the best Colonel we ever had!

Hello,
I am cannon and dennis was my grandpa and he has been gone for almost one year. When he first passed on I was mad at myself and at my heavenly father for taking him away from me and my family. But I realized how selfish I was being. I also realized that a great work needed to be done in heaven for somebody strong, intelligent, and somebody who loves the gospel. My grandpa was the man for the job. I wish he didn't have to go I still do even now but I am sure he is doing great things in heaven. Thanks for the love and support we needed it

Hi Glenda and the Nordfelt "young'uns" - Oh, how we loved your husband and father (and grandfather). Remembering his missionary days and his sacrifice for our family during those times, and seeing him just 16 short years ago, when he dedicated my mother's grave! Oh, how she loved him, and no doubt, she has found him among his family members. He was like our family as well. We'll always remember Thanksgiving at our home while on his mission, and the 27-pound turkey that we cooked for just him and his companion - we later learned that they did not share it.....ha ha. We always thought that he would be an apostle, because he sat just like President Hinckley - with his tongue hung out just a little.....ha ha. What a terrific missionary he was! And we appreciate the times of reunion in Utah. Thank you, Glenda, for being such a gracious hostess......we didn't even hear a peep from those 9 kiddos while we slept. How well trained they must have been. Oh, we love you all. May we all be together in the hereafter - clean, pure, and holy as we walk into the presence of our Savior and our Heavenly Father, and kneel in humble submission to Them.

Thank you Nordfelts for being part of my life! I first knew you in Salina, when Kirtley and I were born days apart, my birthday being the same as Dennis's except for the year. Then I knew your parents and family in Moab. Your son was engaged in my mothers back yard. You passed away, sadly not only on your anniversary but my husbands birthday as well. My nephew is married to Glendas niece Natalie. I loved Ellen and Jr and sister Bonnie. Prayers go out to you! Much Love.

I first met Dennis as we participated in the Utah Peace Officers Association. I learned many things from him. He has always been friendly, helpful, reliable and true to himself, his family and his God. He is a true disciple of Jesus Christ. He has always set a good example, one worthy to follow. Thanks for your friendship and example.

Dearest Glenda. So very sorry to hear about the passing of Dennis. He was such a wonderful person. I remember him saving my Pauls life at Mark Four court when he climbed the swimming pool fence. He also help out when my sister Peggy Day had her break down. He was such a caring person.I guess the Lord wanted him to help him in his work in Heaven. Our prayers go out to you and your family.

Dennis Nordfelt was a personal friend of our family who we loved and admired greatly. We lived in the same ward where he served as Bishop for years. My Sister was asked to babysit their kids, then they named one of their daughters after her. Dennis gave a marvelous talk at my Dad's funeral and Glenda played for me to sing at my brother's funeral. Dennis was an exceptional individual who cared about others as shown through his service to everyone around him. He has always been one of our favorite people throughout our lives, a hero and an examplar we all looked up to. Undoutedly, the Lord had need of him. We send our love and prayers to you Glenda . . so grateful for our Savior that because of Him, we may be together when we meet again at Jesus feet.

I had the privilege of knowing and working with Dennis Nordfelt for a number of years. Throughout that association I always sensed from him a genuine respect for others and a genuine evidence of integrity in the way he conducted his life. He was a leader trying to find common ground and opportunities where cooperation could unify and better the life of the residents of West Valley City. He was a man of service and a man who worked quietly and successfully to get things done. To Glenda and all of his family members, I extend appreciation that you shared this wonderful man by supporting his public service. God bless you.
September 5, 2014
Glenda and family, so sorry for your loss. Dennis was a great friend and wonderful example. He helped Lyle get hired on with the highway patrol. Some 40 yrs. ago he gave my daughter a priesthood blessing when she was very sick. I am honored to have known such special people. You were always friendly with me whenever we would meet. I am sure Kathryn Burnham was delighted to meet her friend Dennis again. May you be blessed with peace and comfort at this time. Kathy Moffitt

We certainly share in the loss of such a kind and progressive leader. From the time I was a new trooper, I always thought that I would like to be like him. He always seemed to know the right thing to say and how to act. He has served and led well in every way. Thank you for sharing him with us. We miss and love him.
September 5, 2014
Dennis Nordfelt is a wonderful man. It was a privilege to know him. When he was stake president he jogged to our home late one evening to sign a recommend I needed the next day. Years after his release he was still as friendly as when he was the stake president.
May God bless you with peace at this earthly loss. He will be greatly missed.
Love,

I grew up with Dennis in Moab. He was a great leader even as a very young man. As our student body president, quarterback on the football team and saxophonist in the band. He was my hero is so many ways. As we both grew into men my admiration continued to increase. His great smile has been dear to me for over 60 years. Bless you Dennis, may the Good Lord welcome you with open arms and may He take good care of Glenda until you are again together.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of your good husband, Dennis. I have many good memories of times we shared together. He was an outstanding public servant and Colonel of the Highway Patrol during my early years as Governor.
As he went on to serve as the West Valley City Police Chief and Mayor he was a great contribution to our community. Dennis was also an example of service in the church with his numerous callings. We shared many visits together talking about the gospel and our families.
Glenda, you have always been a great asset to him as a special wife and mother. Please know of our respect and admiration for you and your family. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
Norman Bangerter and Judy

Our fathers were friends during their school days in Salina. I have read over the years of all the good he has done in his services,work,family. What a wonderful man and example for his family friends and community.

Dennis was a great and loving man !!! For myself "and I am sure many others" Dennis was a bright light in a very dark time in my life !! but Dennis was not content to just be a bright beacon of hope, no Dennis would walk into the darkness, take your hand , let you know he loved you, and lead you out into the light. Though not a physician, Dennis help heal many !!! , he healed with love.

I worked with Dennis when he was in charge of UHP in Price. I was in charge of the Carbon Hospital Ambulance and could have not found a better ally than Lt. Dennis Nordfelt.

So heartbroken to hear about President Nordfelt's passing. Growing up with some of his children, and looking up to him as my Stake President for many years, I really admired him. I will always remember him coming with a group of us crazy teenage girls on our "5th year hike" for Young Women's. I'm certain he had better things to do with his time, but he sure made us feel important. May Heavenly Father bless Glenda and their family through this difficult time.

Dennis exhibited the highest qualities of commitment and integrity in all of his service as an elected official. He was an example of how public service should be carried out as he always had a listening ear and was responsive to the concerns of the people of West Valley City. He was totally dedicated to his family and his faith. Linda and I extend our prayer that the Lord may extend His kindest blessing of comfort and peace to Glenda and the Nordfelt family that they might be sustained in reflecting on the example he was.

Grew up with Dennis and Glenda in Moab. Have many special memories of the things we did together especially some of our Scout camp outs and trip to the National Scout Jambaree at Valley Forge Pa. Sometimes I got to be the other guy when he was practicing his wrestlig holds. Always enjoyed being around Dennis, he was a tremendous friend to everyone that knew him. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. Our prayers go out to his family at this time.

We all have a chance, at determining our own legacies. In my life, I can count few role models whom I respected more than Dennis Nordfelt. The guy was constantly in the service of his fellow man. He exemplified his Savior, whom himself, entered mortality not to be served, but to serve others. It was an honor to know him. What a tremendous legacy he leaves each of us.
Dennis Nordfelt was one of those people who wernt supposed to ever die. His contribution/ life was way to valued.
RIP friend.

I would see Dennis and Glenda around the West Valley area. Never forgot them. Even tho we look a little different (older). They spoke to me as if time wasn't important. A friend always. Dennis was my neighbor, he was my boss (UHP) and my Bishop. Will never forget Dennis. Glenda may God Bless you and your family.

Life is so precious and I value the time that I had a chance to get to know you and Dennis. With Love Kristine and Kimball Davis

As a new Mayor 10 years ago, I sought for role models I could strive to emulate to be the best Mayor I could be. There was no better choice than Dennis Nordfelt. He was the perfect example of strength through humility. He had incredible wisdom, but never treated anyone as if they were inferior - even a new Mayor like me. He will be forever a mentor and example. He will be missed terribly. I am a better Mayor and a better person because of his influence and example. He was kind, genuine and a friend to all. If the funeral were held at the conference center it would not hold all the people whose life he touched for good. My condolences and prayers to the family.
