Howard Leo Munk

Howard Leo Munk Gone Fishin' Howard Leo Munk, 87, beloved husband of Jeanne Giruad Munk passed peacefully away at home March 28, 2006. Howard was born in Manti, August 31, 1918 to Leo Domgaard Munk and Emerett Theressa Anderson. He married his sweetheart and lifetime companion, Jeanne, June 26, 1940. Together they raised eight children. Howard was a gentle giant of a man who lived his life with integrity and a generous heart. He was the first to step forward to help, show forgiveness, and offer kindness and acceptance to others without judgment. He worked hard all his life and raised his children to cherish his deep-rooted values. Howard loved to fish any time, anywhere. Legend has it that he could coax ten pounders out of a mud puddle. Every summer Howard tended a bountiful garden full of tomatoes and vegetables which he shared with everyone who came through his door. He will be sorely missed by all of his friends and family who love him so much. He is preceded in death by his parents, his brother Fred, his sister Madge Roberts and one grandchild. Howard is survived by his wife, Jeanne Munk, and children: Leon (Carol) Munk, Emerette (Jon) Atzet, Richard (Brenda) Munk, Peter (Pauline) Munk, Margaret (Randy) Van Ness, David (DiAnne) Munk, Michael (Lori) Munk, and Robert Munk, 21 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren.
