Hurricane, Utah ~ Douglas Lendy Mooneyham, age 55, passed away peacefully Tuesday, June 20, 2006, at his home in Apple Valley, Utah. He was born in Hartselle, Morgan County, Alabama, on April 17, 1951 to Charles Lindy and Imogene Shutters Mooneyham. He married Elyse Marie Hall on September 15, 1978, in the St. George LDS Temple.
Doug grew up in the small town of Somerville, Alabama. He attended elementary school in the old Somerville Courthouse, and later at Cotaco. He graduated from UVSC, Orem, UT in 1988 with an Associate degree in drafting. From his teens, Doug enjoyed working as a mechanic. He was very good at fixing just about anything that was broken. After graduating from UVSC, he worked full-time with the Army national Guard at their headquarters in Draper, UT, until he retired in 1998 due to health reasons. He served in Germany during Desert Storm, and loved his country. During his lifetime, Doug liked to hunt, fish, hike, shoot different types of firearms, work with his horses, and go 4-wheeling. Doug loved his God, his family, his animals, and the out-of-doors. Since his retirement, he has been the one to care for the home and most of the outdoor chores. He is greatly appreciated, and will be sorely missed. Doug, we wish you well in your new adventure, and know you are with your Dad and Mama, other loved ones who have gone before.
Doug is survived by his wife, Elyse, of Apple Valley; children, Melanie Graf, David Mooneyham, Jana (Spencer) Adams, Sarah Mooneyham, Jeremy Mooneyham, Kristin (Brady) Hess; and five grandchildren.
