Our beloved husband and father Grant Hamblin Bangerter, 66, passed away unexpectedly Christmas morning Saturday, December 25, 2021 at his cabin in Fruitland, Utah.
Grant was born September 23, 1955, in Salt Lake City, Utah to wonderful parents William Grant Bangerter and Geraldine Hamblin Bangerter, the 6th of 11 children. Adventure began early for Grant when at age 3 the family moved to Brazil after his father was called as a mission president. In the excitement and challenges of living in a foreign country the family quickly adopted their motto "Enjoy it!"
At age 8 Grant returned with his family to Granger, Utah. Attending Granger Elementary and Granger Junior High, where Grant played the trumpet, baseball, and had a paper route. Grant's grandpa Henry Marcene Hamblin attended all of Grant's baseball games. Grandpa Hamblin's nickname for Grant was "Jacob" and Grant's brother Howard was "Oscar", after their Great-great Grandfather Oscar Hamblin and his brother Jacob. On a long scouting hike Grant was given the nickname "Stretch" by his fellow scouts because he discovered the first day that he didn't like being at the back of the pack, so he used his long legs to lead the pack for the rest of the trip.
As a youth the family moved to "The Haven," a farm in Alpine, Utah, where Grant continued to develop his lifelong love of tools and building. After a quick demo from their dad, Grant and his brother Howard were tasked with building split rail fence down the long drive and around the corrals. At American Fork High School Grant again employed his trumpet; and baseball skills, starting on the Caveman baseball team. Between graduating in 1973 and his mission Grant studied at Rick's College in Rexburg, Idaho.
Grant was called to the Madrid, Spain Mission serving from December 31, 1974 to January 1977 often joking that he served 3 years. In Spain Grant worked hard and learned to love the Spanish culture and people. Grant experienced only one baptism while in Spain but would later learn that his sharing the gospel with Pedro Cruz has brought four generations happiness and peace in the gospel for the Cruz family.
Upon his return to Utah, Grant attended BYU Provo earning a BS degree in Business Management. During his studies he met Cleadonna Webb in young adults, quickly falling in love. The couple were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple by Grant's father on October 6, 1977. In addition to having seven beautiful children, Grant and Cleadonna started a home building business, building hundreds of homes from Layton to Provo for over 40 years.
Grant centered his life on his Father in Heaven, the Savior Jesus Christ, and his wife and family. Grant served in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in many capacities including 10 years as Scout Master, Bishop of the Highland 8th Ward, Stake Young Men's President, MTC Branch President and most recently High Counselor at the BYU YSA 13th Stake. Grant's focus was on preparing young men for missions and temple attendance. If you ever needed something done you just asked Grant Bangerter.
Grant and Cleadonna loved supporting their children. They bought a trailer for the Lone Peak Marching Band and while Cleadonna was band booster club president they hauled instruments, equipment, and uniforms for 8 years to be with their musical children.
As a young man Grant got his Eagle Scout award, and as an adult he was awarded the prestigious Silver Beaver award for service to the Boy Scouts of America organization, including Alpine District Chairman and Utah National Parks Council. Grant and Cleadonna even took trips around the world to participate in world Scouting celebrations. As an NRA certified rifle and shotgun instructor Grant taught many how to safely handle guns and enjoy the great outdoors.
As a family, Grant and Cleadonna loved to vacation, taking many trips all over the world. The family loved camping, road trips and hiking making many cherished memories. In his later years Grant developed a passion for family history and temple work, compiling hundreds of names and doing the temple work. He also compiled photos, stories and music files and shared them on Family Search.
Grant and his family's true love is their Fruitland cabin which they enjoy sharing with others, and they have, welcoming hundreds of people to the property with Scout camps, youth groups, reunions and family parties for 24 years. The family would like to especially thank the community of Fruitland, Utah for years of love and support, especially during Grant's final moments.
