Our Beloved Dad
Harrison Arthur Bennion passed away peacefully in Logan,
Utah on June 22, 2022.
Harry was born to Harris Wilford Bennion, and June Evelyn
Carlsen on 29 August 1939, in Salt Lake City, Utah. He grew up in Union, Utah and was class
president in his high school. Dad was in
the air force in the early 1960’s. He
and mom moved to Rock Springs, Wyoming in 1964 to work for his father at
Bennion Motor on Center Street. He loved
being a mechanic and Ford vehicles were always the only kind of vehicles we
were allowed to talk about. Dad married
Barbara Allen in April 1958. They were
later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints on May 28, 1969. They had 5
children; Carrie (Douglas) Guse, Todd Bennion, Angela (Todd) Young, Kenneth
(fiancé, Maren) Bennion and Steven Bennion.
Dad was an amazing dad and all around fun person. Anyone who knew him knew he was a happy man
and looked at the bright side of life.
He loved kids and youth. When we
were little, all the kids in the neighborhood knew that if dad was home, he was
going to give airplane rides so they watched for him. We loved that. He was always the Santa Clause for Primary
programs when we were small. His own
children didn’t realize it was him. He
drove the bus from Randolph for the high school kids in Lake Town. Those grown
up kids are always telling us how much they liked dad and how fun he was.
Dad was preceded in death by his parents, our mother Barbara
Allen Bennion a brother, Lewis Colebrook, our brother, Steven Lewis Bennion and
a grandson, Mark Franklin Guse. He was
also preceded in death by brother-in-law, Richard Sutherland, brother and
sister-in-law, Richard and Sandra Carlsen, and brother and sister-in law,
Dennis and Terry Allen.
He is survived by his children, Carrie (Doug), Todd, Angela
(Todd), and Kenneth (fiancé Maren), and a brother Reginald (Alice) Bennion, a
sister Jacqueline Sutherland.
Grandchildren, Shane and Misty Guse ,(Chris Miller), Adam (Kaitlin)
Young, Tyler (Katelynn) Young, Michael (Hannah) Young, Jordan Bennion, Jessica
Bennion, Alexandria Bennion , Hailee Bennion and Kyle Robertson. He has several great-grandchildren and nieces
and nephews as well. Until we see you
again dad, all our love and honor.
Families are forever!
