October 30, 1945 - June 12, 2014

Douglas Max Jeppson, 68, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family. He was born in Provo, Utah on October 30, 1945 to Louis L. and Faye Jeppson. He served proudly in the US Army from 1964 to 1967. He married Myrna Stephensen on June 18, 1965. They later divorced but remained lifelong friends. They have 3 daughters: Kerry (Doug) Esquivel, Natalie (Tony) Adams and Shauna (Colin) Manitoken. He has 6 grandchildren: Tyler, Brendon, Chris, Ryan, Kaden and Kasia. He loved to be in the outdoors. He spent hours on his 4 wheeler searching for arrowheads. He loved to work in his yard and kept it immaculate. He took pride in having the neatest yard on the block. Like his mother, he had a quick witted comment or saying for every occasion. He lived by the motto of doing one good deed a day. He was quiet and kept mostly to himself, but always found ways to show kindness to others. He cared for his elderly mother for many years which was such an inspiration to his daughters. He was preceded in death by his parents, his sister Carol and brothers David and Wayne. He is survived by his brother Arlan.
