Thank you for visiting this memorial page honoring those who either graduated or would have graduated from Granger High School in 1965. We are honoring as many former classmates as we can find who have passed on. They were our friends, associates, teammates and, in some cases, our lifelong partners and companions. We also honor our veterans and those gallant young men who gave their all, in defense of the country they loved so much. To our MIA, James Schiele, we will never forget you and will continue to look forward to the day your remains are returned to the land of the free, the home of the brave.

Thanks to everyone who helped in the development of this memorial page, especially Diane Day Cooper, who would have graduated a Lancer were it not for her parents relocating their family in 1960. Without her, this would not have been possible. Thom Rich

“And each one there has one thing shared, they have sweated beneath the same sun, looked up in wonder at the same moon, and wept when it was all done, for bein' done too soon.” Neil Diamond

Steve Kofoed

Steve passed away on Sunday, November 13, 2011, after a long battle with complications from cancer. Born May 10,1947 to parents Jedd Arlo and Colleen Pollock Kofoed in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Steve is survived by his loving wife Sheila of 25 years, his daughter Tracy J (Christopher) Pearson, sister Sandy (Jim) Clark, father Jedd (Dorothy) Kofoed, & nephew Brad Myers & family. He was preceded in death by his mother Colleen Kofoed and nephew Steven Myers.

Steve was a vibrant, active man loved by many. He served his country in the Vietnam War & was a lineman for over 40 years, working with power companies in Utah, Arizona, and Nevada. Steve and Sheila moved to Kingman, AZ in 1989 where he worked with Nevada Power and received multiple awards for his excellent service.

Steve and Sheila spent many happy years doing the things they both loved, often taking off for the day on their Harley Davidson or in one of their Corvettes. They shared their love of dogs and always had at least one in their home, often in tow on one of their many road trips.

Per Steve's request, no services were held. True to his selfless nature, Steve made the altruistic decision to donate his body to the UofU Medical Research Center in hopes he could aid in further research of cancer treatment. He was a devoted husband, father, son, brother & friend & will be missed by many.

DeAnn Lilly

"Code One"
DeAnn Lilly Nunn returned home to her Father in Heaven Wednesday, November 9, 2011 after a long and valiant battle with liver disease. DeAnn fought hard to overcome her illness and always greeted each day with a positive outlook and nothing in this world would slow her down.

Born July 4, 1947 and, like her birthday, was a true firecracker!. She was given in adoption to two amazing parents, Edward and Mildred May Jensen Lilly and was a true gift from God for them. She found her lifetime partner and soul mate in Arthur Thomas Nunn and together they built a life of happiness and love. She was an amazing mother who taught her children to never give up, stand-up for what you believe, never take no as an answer, and above all the only thing we have in this life to hold onto is family.

She was greeted in the arms of loved ones, at the doors of heaven , by daughter, Tamera Lynn Nunn; brother, Dallas Lilly; parents; aunt, Elna Buehler; sister-in-law, Sandra (Max) Romero. She will be infinitely missed and loved by her husband, Arthur Thomas Nunn; daughters, Cheryl Nunn Burrows, Cindy Ranae Nunn (Seth) Bitner; son, Brian Thomas Nunn; grandkids: Breckon Dean Burrows, Addison Thomas Burrows, Zayden Jared Nunn; step-granddaughter, Grayce Rose Bitner; as well as countless other family and friends.

We would like to offer a heartfelt thanks to Dr. Douglas Newbold, Dr. Peter Fenton and the RICU Team at IMC for all of their hard work and care. You made this journey one that we were able to greet with peace in our hearts.
