Reg K. Thorpe Obituary (1935

Reg K. Thorpe died unexpectedly from natural causes at his Provo home on July 31, 2015. Reg was born January 16, 1935, in Axtell, Utah to Cameron “Bud” and Lucille Thorpe. Reg had a great love for life. He loved spending time outdoors; that time was greatly enhanced if he had a fishing pole, a gun, family and friends along with him. He was an exceptional mechanic and used that skill to make his race boat one of the fastest on the water. He was preceded in death, just 6 months ago, by Jackie Thorpe, his wife of 60 years. He is survived by their 4 children, Becky, Julie, RK (Lisa Anderson) and Rett (Maggie Knowlton); 12 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren with one more due any day. Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m., Wednesday, August 5, 2015 at the Rivergrove Ward Chapel, 780 North 700 West, Provo, Utah. Friends may call at the Berg Mortuary of Provo, 185 East Center Street, Tuesday, August 4, from 6-8:00 p.m. and at the church Wednesday, from 9-9:45 a.m. prior to services. Interment will be in the Salina City Cemetery. Condolences may be extended to the family at www.bergmortuary.com.
