Obituary for Dean Warren Davis
Dean Warren Davis was
born March 3, 1944, in Pocatello, ID, to Ray McKay Davis and Naomi Magdalene Fisher. On Saturday, December
18, 2021, he died at his home in an accident on his beloved John Deere tractor. Dean attended schools in Bear Lake County, Idaho,
and graduated from Montpelier High school in
1962. He worked hard from an early age, which helped him serve a three-year
mission in Switzerland, where he
developed a genuine love for the people and Swiss cheese. He spoke fluent
German and four other languages that enabled him
to converse and navigate the world as he worked in
the Oilfield. He worked in the Syrian Desert,
the North Slope of Alaska, and many places in the lower 48 states and always brought home stories to tell.
Dean attended Utah State University and
graduated in 1969. It was there that he met his first wife,Sherrie Mortenson.
They were married in 1966. To this union, seven children sat at the family
table. Laura (Mike) Limb, Anne Marie
Johnson, Cynthia (Nick) Wamsley, Amy (Dave) Jensen, Jaclyn (Kirk) Nielsen, Jacob (Christa), and Jared (Hailey). He had
24 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. Dean and Sherrie divorced in 2002.
Dean met, Lonna Robison and they were married on
May 3, 2003. She brought nine
more children to the family table. Erica (Lanny)
Griggs, Shelley (John) Wooton, Sharon (Garth) Wagstaff, Anitra (Rich) Ritchie, Nathan (Kay) Robison, Carina
(Gaspar) Velarde, Ryan (Noelle) Robison, Alisha (Adam) Flud, and Jessica (Dylan) Field. They added 35 more grandchildren.
Dad spent a lifetime of service, learning new
things, restoring old things, telling stories, and working hard. He often spoke of his love of the farm and his
Granddad Roy Robison. We are confident that his reunion with him was very tender. As much as with his sweet mother,
Naomi. She always called him her “DD.”
Dad loved people. Dad would not want us to shed
a tear for him, but instead find someone to serve, visit, or lend a hand.
He was preceded in death by his parents, sister
Judy Petersen and her husband Duane, his brother Gregg, and two grandsons, Waylon Jensen, and Charles Jackson Nielsen.
On Tuesday, December 21, 2021, a viewing was be
held from 6-8 pm at Schwab/Matthews Mortuary in Montpelier, Idaho. The funeral services were Wednesday, December 22,
2021, at 11:00 am at the Georgetown,
Idaho LDS chapel, with a viewing from 10:00-10:45 prior to services

Emergency Services by Joey Stocking (EMS)
About 9 years ago my one and only child at the time started
having some difficulty breathing. He started to cough a bit, then after a while
he started to wheeze. My wife and I didn't have medical training nor did we know how to deal with the situation. We had only lived full-time in Bear Lake for
a year or two and had never stopped to think what we would do if we had a
medical emergency.
Our son vomited after choking on mucus build up so we decided
we had to do something so we took our son over to the clinic in Garden City and
got checked in and put in a room. The medical provider walked into the room and
took one look at my son and calmly but urgently told a nurse to call for an
ambulance. My son had developed blueish lips and was starting to really suck
for air. The ambulance arrived and urgently headed to Logan with my wife and
son onboard. All alone I drove myself down kicking myself for not recognizing a
serious situation and offered up many prayers along the way.
The ambulance personnel took wonderful care of my son. He
got to the hospital, got all the help he needed and everything turned out okay.
After the incident I started to think about that situation.
I felt grateful. Grateful to people with medical knowledge that effectively
saved my son’s life. But then on top of that I learned that the ambulance
workers were all volunteers. It blew my mind! I didn't even know we had
ambulances stationed in our county, let alone people that left work or families
to run to get an ambulance to help people, without any monetary compensation.
I also felt stupid. I didn’t know my child was in the early stages of
respiratory distress. I didn't know that without intervention my child might
not have made it. I cried. I was supposed to protect him, but I didn't know any
better. I decided that as soon as I could I wanted to get medical training.
Roughly 3 years later I decided to become an EMT and join those other Rich
County Ambulance personnel. Why? For the selfish reason that I wanted to know
how to help my family should something happen to them, but I also wanted give
back and help the EMTs who had helped me. I felt I owed it to them. I learned we
have some incredible EMTs in this county! Some that have been volunteers for 40
years!!
Things are changing in Rich County. It is growing and
becoming quite busy in the summer. Busy enough that our volunteer force has
become strained because of the time commitment involved. Luckily it sounds like
a funding source has become available that the county will now be able to help
compensate these volunteers for their time away from family and work.
My goal with this column is to share a little information each time on emergency services in Rich County. For your first brief lesson I’ll teach you how the EMS (Emergency Medical System) works in Utah. There are five certifications:
·
Emergency Medical Responder (EMR)
·
Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)
·
Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT)
·
Paramedic
·
Emergency Medical Dispatcher (EMD)
All EMS agencies work under the direction of a physician
called “Medical Control” who helps set policies and procedures for the agency.
For those wondering Rich County currently has three
ambulances, all of which are certified at the AEMT
level, which means they are able to start IVs, give medications, and
offer advanced life support.
Ambulances are staged in Woodruff, Laketown, and Garden
City. Currently there are 3 EMTs, 20 AEMTs, & 1 Paramedic for a total of 24
providers. Our newest provider has been on the association just a little over a
year, with longest serving provider approaching 40 years.
If you have ever wondered what it would take to help on the
ambulance, feel free to fill out this form and I’d be happy to help: https://forms.gle/eFaUGMivu8EH42yWA

Fishing at Bear Lake
· By UDWR
Fishing at Bear Lake continues to improve as the water temperature continues to cool! Boats can be launched at all of the boat ramps on the Utah side of the lake (the Bear Lake State Park Marina, First Point and Rainbow Cove). You can also launch at the inlet structure in Idaho. The structure is at North Beach State Park, at the very north end of the lake.
The surface water temperature is about 50 degrees. Fishing has been especially good for cutthroat trout and lake trout this past week. Some days can be slower than others, but overall, fishing is good, and it’s only going to get better.
