Stanley D. Elison, 72, passed away June 20, 2016. He was born September 20, 1943 to Dale and Afton Elison in Salt Lake City, Utah. Stan graduated from Davis High School in 1961. He married Mary Ellen Hartey in Kaysville, Utah on February 19, 1965.
Stan was a devoted husband and father. His passions were his family, serving Jesus, golfing, motorcycles and competitive cowboy shooting. He retired from D.D.O. after a successful career with the federal government. Stan also served in the United States Air Force and as an assistant golf pro at Brigham City Golf Course. He was a jack-of-all-trades and could fix and do anything that he set his mind to; made possible by his uncompromising work ethic.
He had a very special place in his heart for his two dogs, Simon and Pippin. He was a true servant of the Lord in many capacities and ministries including The Christian Motorcyclists Association; is the recipient of the CMAs Servants Heart Award for 2016. His ability to light up a room with his smile will be truly missed by family and friends.
