Harry Rodabough Obituary

Harry Wade Rodabough 1963 ~ 2008 Father, son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend passed away from his several decade battle with addiction on July 3, 2008. He was born June 5, 1963 in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Harry Ward and Karyl Lee Rodabough. Harry was a lover of life when the lifestyle of his addiction didn't interfere. His greatest joys were creating a beautiful garden, fishing a mountain lake, and preparing an incredible meal. He had a bright sense of humor and the sorrow of his loss is felt by many. We hope he has found peace. "Goodbye for now..FG1, may the fish keep biting and the jokes keep flying." He is survived by two sons and two daughters, Harry Weston (Clear-field); Bryan Don (Clearfield); Alyssa Carol (Logan); and Kelsey Lela (Burley, Idaho); mother, two sisters and three brothers, Kim Christensen (Burley); Stacy Larson (Orem); Brandon Rodabough (Woods Cross); Kale Rodabough (Colorado Springs); and Matthew Rodabough (Bountiful). He was preceded in death by his father. Our deepest thanks go to the Ted Gelissen family for their love and support. There will be a viewing, "Family Home Evening" where the family desires to visit with those who have loved and appreciated Harry. Please come and share your experiences with us, Tuesday, July 8, 2008, 6-9 p.m. at the Rodabough Home, 743 W. 1000 S., Woods Cross, UT. A graveside service will be held at the Provo City Cemetery, Provo, Utah; Wed., July 9, 2008 at 10 a.m. Interment Provo City Cemetery. Online guestbook at www.russonmortuary.com

I am sorry to hear of Harry's dealth. We never knew him; but we our family in a way. My first husband Donald Ray Rodabough died in 1983. I have two sons; one Don Eddy Rodabough; and Kelly Ray Rodabough. Donald Ray was adopted by Sidney Rodabough (SLC) many years ago, and it is strange to see Harry's picture, and realize that Kelly and Harry look quite a bit a like!

We were saddened to learn of Harry's death. We hope each of us can find peace and comfort in the days to come. We note that commemoration of his father's birthday was somewhat somber this year.

Our thoughts and prayers go out particularly to Harry's mother, Karyl Lee. We love you.

Dear Harry, I never had the privelege of meeting you. I only met your Mother very briefly nearly 30 years ago. I know she won't remember me, but her extraordinary kindness to me will never be forgotten. I know you have a wonderful family. Please know they are being prayed for and others are mourning their great loss.

Harry will always be part of the fun, happy memories I have from WX. I can still see his shiny, blue car, and hear his voice entertaining us his with his hilarious stories. He was so at home in our family that I think my parents gave him a key to the house before they gave me one! But he had that way of charming himself into everyone's picture didn't he... I am sorry for the personal battles he fought, & I'm sorry for the suffering. I hope he had a big - welcoming reunion with his dad! I also hope there is peace & comfort in his return to his heavenly home.
Keeping you all in our prayers-
Marla Radeke (Affleck)

I am sorry to hear of the loss of Harry. I worked with him at Universal Floral. He was fun to be around and made me laugh when things were not so much fun, especially around Valentine's day. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Sad, sad day.
