Ty Griffiths Obituary

Ty Neal Griffiths 1986 ~ 2007 Our beloved son, brother and grandson Ty Neal Griffiths, at 20 years of age died Tuesday March 13, 2007 due to injuries received in a motorcycle accident in West Jordan, Utah. Ty was born December 4, 1986 as the youngest son of Diena Haven and Neal Clarke Griffiths and step son to Laura Gurr Griffiths. He had a happy best friend relationship with his older brother Cody Clarke Griffiths (and friend Janae Butterfield). His young twin sisters Olivia Ann and Alexis Laura Griffiths were the apple of his eye and he loved to tease them as he tended them. He was often assisted by his stepbrothers and sister: Jerris, Braydan and Morgen Koplin. Ty had enthusiasm for whatever he did. He enjoyed acting in school productions, riding his scooter, playing soccer, bowling, wake boarding, snow boarding, boating, fishing, hunting and outdoor sporting activities. He was an artist and loved poetry, writing and music. As a result of his enthusiasm he soon became skilled at whatever he tried to do when he was instructed just a bit. He graduated from Bingham High School in 2005 where he made many friends. Since graduating he has worked at McGrath's Fish House and Riverton Hardware. Ty was enrolled at Salt Lake Community College. He was a Priest in the LDS Church. Ty will be missed by his grandparents T. Wilford and Carol Haven of Bountiful, his uncles Terry (Joan) and Scott (Penni) and by his cousins Emily, Stephanie, Kate, Brian, Josh, Parker, Beverly and Derek. Grandma Beryl Griffiths of Sandy misses Ty's twinkle in his eye and the happy fun loving smile. His uncles Evan (Shannon), Ross (Cynthia) and Paul Griffiths were always wanting to help Ty and were there for him. His cousins are Dan, Bibiana, Daniella, Ben, Josh, Jospeh, Julia Grace, Ashley, Cam, Nick, Mackinzie, Annie, Adam Griffiths and Bennett Klingman. He was preceded in death by Grandpa Kenneth A. Griffiths, Uncle Mark K. Griffiths and Aunt Sarah Christiansen Griffiths. Funeral services will be held Tuesday March 20, 2007 at 11:00 a.m. at the River Ridge First Ward Chapel, 10200 S. 1300 W. South Jordan (North of the Jordan River Temple). Friends may call at the Monday evening from 6-8 p.m. at the Broomhead Funeral Home 12600 So. 2200 W. Riverton, and on Tuesday one hour prior at the church. Interment in the Midvale Cemetery.

I am in complete shock and want to say that i am so sorry for all of ty's family. he was a great friend and i was really close to him in jr.high. He was such a wonderful person and helped me see the good in life. He was always the type of person to try to bring you up when you are feeling down and just always had your back no matter what. I am sorry that i couldnt attend the services, i had no idea that he had even passed away. My prayers go out to his family and friends.

I havent known ty for very long, but have known neal and laura and their family, and of course Cody. What I saw of Ty was that he was a person with a huge heart, I will never forget the day that Neal had his stroke, and I went down to help take care of Olivia and Alexis, will I didn't need to help, Ty had Alexis on his lap, and Jarris had Olivia on his lap, Ty and Alexis were crying, and Ty told her that he just knew that Their Dad would be O.K. Those girls loved him so much, as well did so many people, Neal and Laura, Diena and Cody, I am so sorry. I wish I could take it away, but I do know that he is with our saviour now, as well as his Grandpa, Uncle, and Aunt. I love you all so much!! Michelle Muhlestein

My Heart and Prayers go out to the parents and loved ones of this fine, loving, warm, caring young man, with such a joyous spirit.

Always meaningful moments as Ty shared he’s thoughts, feelings and experiences of life. I am grateful, blessed and honored that Ty shared his friendship, joys and his funny unique dry whit with me.

At this time I honor his mother, brother and family for all they did in directing, rearing, steering and love that contributed to the light that I experienced in Ty. You will be greatly missed. Too Ty: “You are a powerful, warm caring young man of light!”… Yes you are!... Thank You I know! Peace unto you!

Kevin and boys send our sincere condolences and love

To all of the precious family of Ty we express our love and join our faith and prayers for the comfort and peace that the Lord's spirit brings to mind and soul and to each aching heart as we wade through the sorrow of Ty’s untimely passing. Ty, a precious young man, leaves an inexpressible loss in each of our lives.

As Joseph Smith bore an undeniable testimony that Christ lives, as the first to conquer death, so I share my unwavering witness that Ty lives, that he was held in the warm and tender arms of loving ancestors and filled with the incomprehensible love of Christ as he returned so very early from this lone and dreary world. Ty's glorious spirit is filled with peace and his separation from those who remain behind will be but a small moment in eternity, until all that love him will in like manner return to that God who gave us life and to the "forever" reunion that will unite this family throughout all generations of time, in joy and perfect love, of which I bear witness in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
