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

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.
