Karl was a God fearing man who tried to emulate Christ in all that he did. He lived all the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ as revealed to the Prophet Joseph Smith. He was known as hardworking, dedicated, faithful, steadfast, and resilient. Karl was a quiet man with a humble and stalwart devotion to the gospel and a selfless service to his fellow man. He was at every work project and served wherever and whenever help was needed, consecrating his efforts to the Lord and expecting nothing in return. He was a Jack-of-all-trades and worked in construction and remodeling until past the age of 90, and also served as the Water Master of west Lehi to Elberta for many years. When not working or serving others, he loved playing pinochle, chess, and horseshoes, fishing in Antimony, reading, and most of all – his family. He lived by the motto: When ye are in the service of your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of your God. (Mosiah 2:17)
He died January 26, 2023 in Saratoga Springs, Utah at the age of 90, after a short but valiant battle with cancer, surrounded by many of his family. He is preceded in death by his parents, most of his siblings, several of his sons/daughters-in-law , three of his children who died in infancy, and many other cherished family and friends.
