Nile Bezzant

February 14, 1945 - May 4, 2017

Our beloved father, grandfather and friend Nile Bezzant passed away at his home on Thursday, May 4, 2017, in Pleasant Grove, UT at the age of 72 after a long battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Nile is survived by his wife, Darlene Taylor Bezzant, sons Shawn (Marianne) and Deon (Cheryl), sisters Merle (Jim) Cullimore, LaRee (Doug) Squire, brother in law Royce Branning, twelve grandchildren and one great-grandchild. He was preceded in death by his parents Floyd & Virginia Gray Bezzant, his brother Paul, sisters Fae and Joyce, his daughter Angel Dawn and his grandson Zachary. Nile was born on February 14, 1945 in American Fork, UT. He grew up in Lindon and attended Pleasant Grove High School. After high school Nile enlisted in the United States Navy and served for 4 years during the Vietnam War aboard the USS Coral Sea. After his service, he married Darlene Taylor. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Provo, UT LDS temple. In 2016, they celebrated their 50th anniversary. They raised their sons in Pleasant Grove. Nile worked in various professions during his life. He was a truck driver, steelworker, and an installation manager for a civil engineering firm. He loved fishing and tinkering with his truck. He was quiet man with an infectious laugh and a passion for life. He loved his family, his country and the Chicago Cubs. He will be missed by all who knew him. In lieu of a funeral, the family will host an open viewing and memorial in Nile’s honor on Thursday, May 11th from 6pm – 8pm at Utah Valley Mortuary, 1966 West 700 North, Lindon, UT 84042. We invite all who knew Nile to come and pay their final respects. A family graveside service will be held the following day at Pleasant Grove Cemetery. Military Honors rendered by the U.S. Navy.
