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

Lynn Chandler

Richard “Lynn” Chandler, age 74, of Riverton, Utah passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on Friday, February 25, 2022. Lynn was born August 6, 1947, in Salt Lake City Utah to Berkeley T. and Gwendolyn F. Chandler. After graduating from Granger High School, Lynn served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Oslo, Norway. Upon his return, he attended and graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in music, which was a large part of his life. He played the clarinet and saxophone in various bands when he was young and brought that love of music into his adult life continuing to perform and to teach music at Granger High School and Olympus High School.

Lynn married Jan Robb in 1971 in the Salt Lake Temple (later divorced). Together they had four children and 14 grandchildren. He provided well for his family and thoroughly enjoyed his career as a pharmaceutical salesman for Burroughs Wellcome until his retirement in 1994. After retirement, he spent several years volunteering at the University of Utah Medical Center, LDS Hospital, Pioneer Valley Hospital, and in the Jordan River Temple.

Lynn loved the outdoors. He spent much of his time creating forests and mountains right in his backyard, complete with a fire pit to cook over. He loved to go hunting, fishing, camping, and riding dirt bikes with his family. He also enjoyed taking his children downhill skiing and taking his family on work trips to explore the West, where he would drop the kids off at the pool and go to work. Lynn loved to help others and was often found serving his parents, siblings, nieces and nephews, neighbors, and friends.

Lynn is preceded in death by his parents Gwendolyn and Berkeley, grandson Andres, brother Bob, and sister Shirley. He is survived by his sister Carole, his children: John and Stacy Chandler, Karen and J.R. Masina, Kristen Gipson (Paul Rudd), and Mindy Espinosa. He is also survived by 13 grand children: Raeli (Eric), Aaron, Adam, Jaeron, Jack, Bekah, Derrick, Hannah, Victor, Alyssa, Lily, Abbie, and James; and many nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly.
