Jack C. Kofford Obituary (1938

Jack C. Kofford, born to Cree and Melba Kofford April 24, 1938, passed away in Orem, Utah April 2, 2020. Jack grew up in Orem when there were still dirt roads and fruit farms on both sides of the street. Jack had previously been married and had three children: Laura Ann Mesa (deceased), James Randy Kofford (deceased), and Amy Elizabeth (Mark) Walker of Lehi. He graduated from Lincoln High School in Orem in 1956. He had employment with Firestone Tire, A-1 Quality Auto Glass, and continued his career as a retail auto body supplier. Jack had a reputation for being able to find and deliver obsolete parts in short notice. In the early years of 2000 Jack became reacquainted with Joan Lund, who was a high school classmate. After a short courtship they were married in Provo, Utah on May 14, 2004, and they enjoyed 17 years together. The traveling, shopping and having a hotdog at Costco, and the bus rides to Wendover were unforgettable. He is survived by his wife, Joan of Orem; daughter, Amy of Lehi; and two brothers: Cree-L (Ila) Kofford of Bountiful, Utah, and Dick (Bonnie) Kofford of Orem, Utah. He was preceded in death by his parents and two children. There will be a family viewing on April 8, 10:00 AM, at Berg Mortuary of Orem, 500 North State Street, with graveside services following at the Orem City Cemetery, 1520 North 800 East.
