John Shigley Obituary
1955 ~ 2020
John Koeller Shigley was born on November 6, 1955 to Ted and Chelsa Fitzgerald Shigley in Mobile, Alabama. He passed away December 23, 2020. He moved with his family to Brigham City, Utah in 1965. John attended Weber State, earning a degree in chemistry. He received a PhD in fuels engineering 1984 from the University of Utah. He married Sally Bishop June 15, 1985. His greatest joys were Hannah Claire Xhou Shigley and Sarah Helen Yu Shigley, his daughters. He was united with them in Gansu, China September 12, 2004.
His career in aeronautical engineering and materials science included work for Morton Thiokol, ATK and Northrup Grumman.
John loved fly fishing and hunting waterfowl with his friends in Canada. He enjoyed driving and was often impatient with his wife and other slow drivers. Babies, perhaps fascinated with his large moustache, loved John.
He is survived by his wife of 35 years, Sally; daughters Hannah and Sarah; brothers Chuck and Ted and sisters Sandra (Oxley) and Lynne (Richardson). He was preceded in death by his parents. In lieu of flowers donations can be made in John's name to Trout Unlimited. After the pandemic is less dangerous, a celebration of life will be held at his home in Ogden, Utah.
