Harvey Howard Dunlavy III

1944-2024

Harvey Howard Dunlavy (Skip), cherished husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, passed away on December 31, 2024, after a long struggle with Alzheimer's. He was 80 years old. Born August 7, 1944, in Tooele, Utah, the eldest child of Howard and Helen Gillespie Dunlavy. He graduated from Tooele High School in 1962 where he exceled in sports.

He married Linda Waddingham on August 21, 1992, in Brigham City, Utah.

Skip served the state as a Highway Patrolman from 1969 to 1979 in West Wendover and Brigham City, as well as being part-time golf course superintendent. He then moved to full time golf employment which he loved. He worked at golf courses statewide, served as President of the Golf Course Superintendents Association, and in 1993 was awarded Golf Course Superintendent of the year by the Utah Section of the PGA.

He enjoyed fly fishing, painting, cooking (and eating) and road trips. He had a dry sense of humor which we loved and which never left him.

He is survived by his wife Linda, children Chase (Lauren), and Mac; his grandchildren Nixon and Jett; his brother Patrick (Pam) and nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents Helen and Howard.

Skip's family would like to thank the staff of Beehive Home of Herriman where he spent his last 18 months. They treated him with kindness and respect, and we will be forever grateful.

In keeping with Skip's wishes, no funeral will be held. The family will gather to celebrate his life. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Utah Alzheimer's Association in Skip's name.
