James Leroy HyattParowanJames LeRoy Hyatt, Jr, 85, passed away peacefully on September 9, 2017, surrounded by loving family. Jim was born on April 19, 1932 to James LeRoy Hyatt and Maude Orton Hyatt. Jim was a fun-loving prankster and grew up happily in Parowan, Utah, along with his two brothers, Gerald (Marian) Hyatt, and Michael O. Hyatt On June 29, 1954 he married his life long sweetheart, Alice Kay Clark, in the St George Temple. Of this union was born 5 children, his rebellious/headstrong daughter Elizabeth (Max) Partner, perfect daughter Debora (Eddie) Alger, regular son Gary (Shannon) Hyatt, favorite son Jerry (Holly) Hyatt and spoiled daughter Melonie (Rod) Gilbert, all of whom grew up to bring honor to his name. We were raised with love, discipline, work, family dinners and family outings and vacations. We also saw firsthand the way a man should treat a woman. Dad always supported Mom, helped her and never raised his voice to her. He truly treated our mother as a queen.

He is preceded in death by his parents, one grandson, James Paul, and great grandson, Ashton Clark, 3 half-sisters and 1 half-brother.
