Clark Marchant "Chuck" Tebbs

December 11, 1942 - November 28, 2024

- Chuck's mortal journey ended on November 28, 24 at his home, surrounded by his dear wife Jodi, children, and grandchildren. Chuck battled cognitive and physical decline the past year. One of his mantras in life was "inch by inch, life is a cinch, yard by yard life is hard". He passed from this world the way he lived, inch by inch, until it was enough.

Chuck was born in Lovell Wyoming to Reba Marchant Tebbs and Cal Meeks Tebbs on December 11, 1942. He is the 7th of 11 children. He grew up in Cowley, Wyoming and moved to the Cottonwood Heights area with his family in his high school years.

Chuck attended Jordan High School, he excelled in athletics. He carried the family love for basketball in his veins. Chuck was an All-State hooper in Wyoming and Utah and he earned scholarships at BYU and Westminster College. His shooting form and ball management skills are legendary. The man did not turn the ball over.

More importantly, his love for God, family, and Gospel of Jesus Christ are the hallmarks of a life well lived. Chuck is a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served two full time missions. As a young man, Chuck served in Texas. Later in life Chuck and his dear Jodi, served in the Regina, Saskatchewan Temple. In between these full-time missions Chuck served in his local wards and stakes in a variety of callings.

Chuck and Jodi met, fell in love and were sealed and married in the Salt Lake Temple. Together they raised one amazing daughter and four sons. They built a successful independent insurance agency together, cared for parents and loved ones together, and laughed at Chuck's jokes together. Most importantly, they have grown together over a lifetime, and supported each other in becoming true disciples of Jesus Christ and overcoming each challenge along their path.

The Salt Lake Temple is a special place to Chuck. He served 11 years as an ordinance worker, often times volunteering to serve multiple days each week. Chuck loved and cherished time spent serving in The House of The Lord.

It is impossible to write the sum of this man's life. Chuck made fast friends everywhere he went. He loved to help people. He was generous to a fault, quick to forgive, and slow to anger. Only a certain child that enjoys wearing blue shirts could crack his patient nature. Chuck's sense of humor and kind nature are well known and much loved. You can insert your favorite Chuck moment here. There are too many favorites to list!

Chuck is back home with his departed loved ones. Singing with his sisters and brothers, while his mom plays the piano. Surrounded with all those he loves. We'll all be coming' around the mountain soon enough Dad! Until then, you know what they say.

Thank you so very much to all those who have served him over his lifetime, and to those that have allowed Chuck to serve them as a church leader, a coach, or a customer at the insurance office.

Our family wishes to express gratitude to those who spent countless hours taking special care of Chuck during his illness and to all those who have expressed kindness, care, and love to our family.

Chuck is survived by his sweetheart Jodi. His siblings Loretta, Christine, Jeff, Reba and Caleen. His children Tifini, Ryan, Justyn, Quynn, and Brady. One fantastic son-in-law, Lynn. and 4 wonderful mothers to his grandchildren. Kara, Amy, Ivy, and Emily, 17 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren.

He loves you all and he will be rooting for you from heaven!
