Don Mowrey Halverson passed from this life unexpectedly on February 20, 2019. Don spent his last day doing what he loved best: skiing, playing tennis, and spending time with his precious family. Don was born September 11, 1945 in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Ray Lee Halverson and Dorothy Mowrey and was raised in East Millcreek along with his two sisters.
Don served faithfully in the British Mission, headquartered in London, England, from 1964 to 1966. He graduated from the University of Utah with a BS in Mathematics and a MS in Engineering and worked for many prestigious companies, including Mountain Fuel, General Electric, and Boeing. His greatest professional achievement came in starting and building his own company, Systems West Computer Resources.
Don and Janeen Madsen were married on April 8, 2004 and sealed in the Jordan River Utah Temple on March 31, 2006 for time and all eternity. Janeen was the love of his life and they had 15 joyous years together. Don was dearly loved as a wonderful son, brother, husband, father, grandfather and friend. Since his passing, we have received an outpouring of tributes describing him as the best and kindest man they knew.
Don will be greatly missed by his loving wife Janeen and their family. He is survived by his children: Amy (Roger Hurst) Halverson; Jason (Ahmi) Halverson, Julie (Ryan) Wood; Michael (Anne) Halverson; Bryan Melchior; Justin (Sarah) Melchior; Andrew (Shannon) Melchior; Jan (Glen) Peterkin; 17 grandchildren; one great-grandchild and his two sisters, LuRae (John, deceased) Ferguson and Maureen (Rick) Sutherland.

Dear Janeen and family,

I knew Don in my youth. We grew up in the same ward. He was a friend to all. He will be of great service in the Lords work. May you and your family be comforted knowing he lives, he is busy, and that families are forever.

Remembering my meeting Don for the first time. What stands out to me is the happiness I witnessed in him with Janeen by his side. He was so proud to be with her and she with him.

Don and Janeen radiated love, loyalty, delight and gratitude for one another. Don's opportunity to share in Janeen's children and grandchildren was a witnessed blessing in his life and a certain God-send blessing for Janeen.

Trusting Don's love and vigilant watchcare for Janeen and family to continue to infinity and beyond! Praying for constant reassurance of heaven's love and an unfolding peace and trust in what is.

Janeen Is a woman of courage, strength and faith. I have been most blessed to know and associate with her - desiring nothing to dim the moments, days and years ahead - praying for family to be encircled in peaceful, comforting perspective.

With much love,

Leslie

Dear Janeen and rest of the family,
I was so shocked to hear of Don's passing. He was a warm person with a good sense of humour and a loyal member of our little writing group. It makes me sad that I can't think of him happily skiing the slopes with his grandkids anymore while I'm in other parts. I will miss him.
My sincere condolences.
