Edmund Cannon Evans died peacefully at his home in Salt Lake City, Utah on April 8, 2014. He bravely endured the inevitable physical and mental decline of Alzheimer's Disease with patience and dignity.
Ted was born May 28, 1929 to David Woolley Evans and Beatrice Cannon in Salt Lake City, Utah.
He graduated from East High in 1946 and studied at the University of Utah two years. He served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Great Britain from 1948 to 1950.
He returned and married his sweetheart, Gloria Todd, in the Salt Lake Temple on March 27, 1953. This year marks sixty-one years of love and devotion. Ted and Gloria had six children, five boys and one girl. They also have twenty-two grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
Together, Ted and Gloria finished his undergraduate studies and earned his medical degree from the University of Utah School of Medicine in 1955. He completed an internship at Minneapolis General Hospital in 1956 and his Pediatric Residency at Los Angeles Children's Hospital 1958-1961. Ted served in the United States Army at Sandia Base New Mexico from 1956 to 1958 with the rank of Captain in the Medical Unit.
In 1961, Ted joined the Bryner Clinic in Salt Lake City, where he practiced Pediatric Medicine for thirty-eight years. During his years of practice, Ted treated thousands of children caring for each child as if they were his own.
Ted was actively involved in the medical community. He was chairman of the Salt Lake County Polio Immunization Drive in the early 1960's, which was promoted as "KO Polio." He was involved on many boards and committees at the Primary Children's Hospital and Primary Children's Medical Center. He served on the IHC Board of Directors and was President of the Medical Staff at LDS Hospital. He was also an associate professor at the University of Utah School of Medicine.
Ted touched the lives of everyone he met, whether it was in his capacity as a doctor, Bishop, member of the Bonneville Stake High Council, Scoutmaster, youth leader, or friend. Ted's love of young people spilled over into every aspect of his life. He served as the Bishop of the Garden Park Ward… twice, first from 1966-1971 and then from 1991-1996.
He was actively involved in the Boy Scouts of America and was affectionately referred to as "Doc" by his scouts. "Doc" took on a new meaning when Ted and Gloria's grandchildren and great-grandchildren christened him "Grandpa Doc."
After Ted's so-called "retirement" from Bryner Clinic in 1997, Ted and Gloria served in the Salt Lake Temple Square Mission, Ted serving as mission doctor and counselor in the Mission Presidency from 1997-2000. He actively served in the LDS Church Missionary Medical Department from 2000-2010.
With his vast insight and medical experience, Ted touched for good the lives of missionaries and mission presidents all over the world. Ted loved to learn and apply what he learned in daily life. He was a voracious reader. He had what seemed to be an unending source of energy and a wry sense of humor. He loved to hike, ski, camp, and anything to do with the great outdoors.
He loved to work. He always had a project, especially at the beloved family cabin on the Weber River. He had a passion for gardening. His yard was always beautiful. He also spent countless hours caring for the gardens and grounds at the Garden Park Ward.
Ted's professional accomplishments, community service, and Church service are many. However, above all, Ted was devoted to his family. He adored his wife. He loved his children and grandchildren.
Ted's goal in life was to be a loving, good honest man who loved his Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ. He strove through his service to please them. Ted, Dad, you are an honest, loving, good man. We know that when you meet the Savior, you will be met with "Well done thou good and faithful servant." Dad, Grandpa Doc, Ted, Dearest Husband, we love you more than words can say. Until we all will meet again in Heaven. "Good night sweet prince and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."
