Dennis West Obituary
After graduating from Hillcrest High School, he served in the Southern Far East Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, spending most of his time in Taiwan. He served his country as a member of the Army Reserves. He received his bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Utah and always cheered for the Utes! Go Utes! His career led him to work with Northwest Pipeline Company and the Williams Company. He later earned a certificate in coding and worked for Intermountain Healthcare. Dennis loved sports. He played little league baseball and participated on church basketball and company softball teams. He was an avid racquetball player. But his true passion throughout most of his life was golf, even achieving an enviable hole in one! He had a deep faith in his Heavenly Father and the Gospel of Jesus Christ and shared his testimony through his example and service to others.
He is survived by his loving wife Marian, his daughter Kristin (Brandon), sons John Michael and Patrick, eight grandchildren, Emylie, Megan, Xander, Jaidan, Josh, Addison, Annabelle, and Melody, sisters Susan (Kirk) and Karen (Joe), and many caring nieces, nephews and cousins. Dennis was preceded in death by his parents and brothers, Jackie and Thomas.

First, to provide a reference, I worked with Dennis during his years at Williams, as early at the Northwest Pipeline era. I am a member of that group of coworkers that he used to golf with; the group he went to St. George with for example.
Dennis was, and in many ways still is, a true gentleman and good friend. I am sorry for your loss.

I worked with Dennis at NwP & Williams. I finer man could not be found. He was honest, caring, hard working and had a great sense of humor. My heart felt condolences to his family.

I had the privilege of working with Dennis at Intermountain Healthcare. Thinking about that time frame brings a smile to my face.
He was a great guy! He had a wonderful sense of humor. Working in the office surrounded by women. Sometimes the women would forget a man was in their midst. The woman talk would ensue and Dennis would soon chime in and he would say something humorous bringing laughter to the room.
Sincere condolences,
Janet Pendergrass
