He and his wife, Kathleen Carter, were soul mates in every sense of the word; Mom always said, "Me and Dad must have played in the same sandbox in the pre-existence." He was a beloved friend and mentor to his children and to those whom he worked with in the church and in political meetings. He was born May 12, 1945, in Richland, Wash., the son of Cecil Wendell and Margaret Veloy Bair Kunz. He was lucky to grow up with one sister and four brothers in a home where hard work and dedication were treasured values. He spent his summers on his Grandfather Bair's farm in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and in his Uncle Glen's welding shop. He graduated from Preston High School in 1963, where he played football as tight end and was active in high school musicals. Mom asked Dad out to a girls' choice dance their junior year and they went together ever since. He served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Dublin, Ireland, from 1964 to 1966. His marriage to Mom was solemnized on Aug. 19, 1966, in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. He graduated from Utah State University with a degree in Business Administration and shortly thereafter he was drafted into the U.S. Army in the Vietnam Era and served from 1969 to 1971. Throughout his life he developed many talents and abilities that he was able to share and teach to his children and grandchildren. He spent years learning woodworking, gathering tools and wood for various projects, Dad was a master craftsman; he had the ability to fix and make the impossible possible. He took great enjoyment in building his own home and helping his kids remodel their homes. He enjoyed the outdoors and always looked forward to taking his boys and grandchildren hunting. He enjoyed working cattle and horseback riding. Dad's greatest interest in life was his wife Kathleen; they often were seen walking together, shopping, going to dinner, attending the temple, anything to be together. Mike enjoyed getting up early and going for a walk and riding his bike to and from work. He spent many selfless hours serving his community through service as Franklin County clerk for 13 years and the citizens of Preston City as a city councilman for five years. Mike always enjoyed working for the people of this area; he always stood for what is right even if he was in the minority. Dad stood firm for what he knew was right. Always mindful of providing for his family and his community, he started and ran a successful small business, Kunz Computer Software, for more than 25 years. Mike served as secretary for the Twin Lakes Canal Company for more than 30 years and enjoyed the association he found there. He was an active member in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held many callings: full-time missionary, home teacher, bishop, counselor in the stake presidency, and counselor and clerk in many bishoprics, stake high council, regional welfare representative, gospel doctrine teacher, elders quorum president and currently served as high priest group leader. Dad had a firm testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and knew that families can be together forever. He was always so enjoyable to hear giving a sacrament talk or gospel doctrine lesson. He is survived by his sweetheart, Kathleen; children: Candace Jenks (Brian) Minot, N.D., Travis M. Kunz (Kamille) Preston, Idaho, David C. Kunz (Marcia) Preston, Idaho, Daren B.

Ella was born Oct. 20, 1914, in Preston, Idaho, to John Ole and Mary Anorah Perkins Taylor. She had a wonderful childhood growing up in Cache Valley, filled with days working in the fields, playing with friends and family, and preparing for community bonfires in her parents' large orchard. Grandma Smith, as she was known by so many, completed her education up to the eighth grade, at which point she began working to help support her widowed mother and family. For so little time actually spent in an academic setting, she possessed an immense amount of knowledge and was one of the wisest women we knew. At the age of 20, she met and fell in love with Kenneth Smith. They were married in Logan, Utah, on April 29, 1934, and were sealed a year later in the Logan LDS Temple for time and all eternity. During their first few years of marriage, the country was at war and entering the Great Depression. Ken and Ella were fortunate enough to obtain a construction position working on building an Air Force base. This allowed Ken to stay in the states, together with Ella and the two children they had been blessed with: Derald, who later married Merlene Nelson, currently residing in Salt Lake City, Utah; and Norma, who later married Keith Bosworth, currently residing in Preston. Grandma Smith was loved and adored by seven grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. They will miss her wit, charisma and love of life. She was preceded in death by her husband, Kenneth Gilbert Smith; three brothers, Harris Lavon, Clyve Lorenzo and John Oral; four sisters, Annorah, Therma, Myrl and Thora; one grandson, Blaine Smith; one grandson-in-law, Derek Hinckley; and by one great-grandchild, Kehmer D. Hinckley. Grandma was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and enjoyed many years of service in her various callings. She was also an amazing example of enthusiasm, courage and perseverance. She touched all our lives and will be missed greatly. The family would like to express its appreciation to the Franklin County Medical Center staff and the doctors who helped support them. Funeral services will be held on at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11, 2008, in the Preston 7th Ward Chapel, 155 N. 2nd West, Preston, with Bishop Phil Abrams conducting.
