June 5, 1979 — March 22, 2016

The world lost a bright and sensitive soul with the passing of Matthew Brigham Young on March 22, 2016, in St. George, Utah.  Matt was a beloved brother, son and uncle.  He was born on June 5, 1979, in Long Beach, California, and lived there until his teenage years. With his outgoing and charming personality, he made many life-long friends there.  Matt loved to hang out by the ocean: swimming, surfing, and boogey boarding.

When the family moved to Cedar City, Utah, Matt became an avid skate and snow boarder.  He excelled at all sports, loved to target shoot and was an excellent marksman.  Matt graduated from Cedar High School and joined the National Guard.  He later joined the Coast Guard and was stationed in the San Francisco Bay area.  He was very proud of his military service and of surviving two boot camps.  Matt was very interested in the medical field and received his EMT certificate at SUU.

Matt is survived by his father, Mike Young, and step-mother, Liz Young; mother, Barbara Barrick; brother, Jeff Young; sisters, Wendy and Jenni Young; nephew, KC Fuller; and niece, Lilly Jackson.  His loss will be felt throughout our lives.

Although Matt’s life was too short, he made a huge impact on those around him with his wit, quick intelligence, kindness, love of family, and especially his goofy sense of humor. His passing leaves a void that could never be filled by another.

June 15, 1937 – March 2016

In the soft glow of the Christmas tree lights, which she loved so much all year long, our beloved mother, grandmother, aunt and sister, Janice Reber Oyler passed away surrounded by her family. She was born June 15, 1937, in Ivins, Utah, to hard working stalwart pioneer parents, Ernest and Jetta Reber. She was the 5^th child of 6 children born in her family. Janice was first married to Edwin V. Bennett, then later divorced. She then married Richard O. Oyler on April 10, 1965.

Janice is survived by her brother, Jack Reber, Sister, Sandra Miller, Son, Jeffery E. Bennett (Wendy), daughters, Judi Schofield (Rick), Nichole Braegger (Mark), Angie Fox, step-children, Richard Oyler, Marilyn Jolly, Teresa Halachis and Paul Oyler, 12 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Janice is preceded in death by her husband Richard Oyler, sisters, Kathleen Wilkins, Shirley Stratton and brother, Kendal Reber.

Janice will be deeply missed as her presence radiated laughter, sunshine and genuine love to all. A stranger was just a friend she had not made yet. Talking till the cows came home was something she dearly enjoyed…with pretty much anyone! Janice loved music and played the saxophone in the high school band, graduating with the class of “55” from Dixie High School. She played the piano for roadshows, primary and family enjoyment. Her Alto voice was always on beat and rich in meaning.

Growing up in Ivins was a girl’s dream. Hanging out with, “The Gang,” eating fresh melons, tomatoes, watching Hollywood movies being made in Snow Canyon, and cooking foil dinners in the wash were just a few of her prized memories. Hiking to the top of Ivins Red Mountain when she was 12 in gym shoes with a pop bottle filled with water was her all-time favorite memory to talk about. The world was a fresher place to live as she excelled in being a Tupperware manager where she earned everything ranging from a new car every 2 years, a mink stole, grandfather clock, vacations, home decorations, jewelry and a piano where all her children learned to play. She made friends for a life-time through her career as the “Tupperware Lady”.

Other than swinging on the front porch, visiting, planting flowers or digging in the vegetable garden, Janice loved going to the cabin on Cedar Mountain. Trapping squirrels, building fires, making s’mores and feeding the deer that came right up to the cabin gave her a great thrill and love of nature. Many hours of labor and love was put into that piece of heaven called, “The Oyler Retreat”.

Janice’s grandchildren and dogs were the breath of her life. She loved them with all her heart. Reading books, cooking pancakes and bacon, sewing blankets and singing silly songs were ways of expressing her love. She would sacrifice her needs to make sure others had what they needed. Her heart was always that of a giver.

You couldn’t think of America the beautiful without thinking of Janice. There was always a flag…or two, waving, patriotic music or yard decorations displayed. Janice loved and honored the veterans. She had a deep respect and appreciation of their sacrifices. They were all heroes in her eyes.

Over the past 3 years, Janice suffered from the dreaded disease of Alzheimer’s, forgetting many things that have to do with everyday life. One thing she never forgot and held dear to heart to the very end was her firm, unwavering testimony of her Savior, Jesus Christ and her sincere appreciation of every kind deed and blessing received. Some of her last words and sentences were words of gratitude and thankfulness to her family and those who served her.

Janice was a beautiful, favored daughter of God, filled with Christ-like love for everyone! She exemplified and lived the principles she taught. Our posterity will be blessed because of our faithful mother, Janice.

We wish to thank the special caregivers who gave such tender loving care to our mother.

Quinn Chamberlain, devoted husband, father, loving grandfather passed away Tuesday, March 29, 2016, in Cedar City, Utah, surrounded by his family as they lovingly cared for him. Quinn will be remembered as an extremely kind, gentle and humble man.

Quinn was born July 20, 1921, to Hans and Mercy Chamberlain in Orderville, Utah. He had a happy childhood spent working in the family grocery store, but he especially loved to take care of the animals and the vegetable garden. One of his early jobs was running the movie projector for the town theater, which earned him a silver dollar every night. He broke and loved to ride horses as a young boy, and in later years told wonderful stories about these times. While in high school, he played tennis, winning state competitions.

He graduated from Valley High School then attended Dixie College, playing trumpet in the Dixie Band. After the attack on Pearl Harbor he could see what was in store for the young men of the country, so he took the pilot training classes offered and received a private pilot license under the Civilian Private Pilot Training Program. He received an associate in science on May 22, 1942. He loved to fly and wanted to be a pilot in the service but chose to enlist in the Navy. He served for 2 ½ years on a hospital ship in areas including Guadalcanal and the Solomon Islands. Upon his honorable release from the U.S. Navy, he enrolled in college again.

While back at Dixie College, he met the love of his life, Sylvia Jones, and courted her for a year before proposing marriage. They were married September 23, 1947 in the St. George Temple and have been happily married for 69 years. They had four children: Ryan, Madelyn, Ferl and Curtis.

After their marriage, they moved to Salt Lake City to attend the University of Utah. Quinn graduated with a B.S. degree in business and accounting. He had a career in accounting at U.S. Steel in Cedar City, Provo, and Lander Wyoming. He retired after 33 years and took up farming at the family farm in Toquerville and Berry Springs. He loved the outdoors, especially fishing, hunting and camping. He took pride in his garden and yard and shared his bounty with everyone. He loved to pitch horseshoes and won many competitions.

Throughout the years, Quinn was very faithful in his church callings and honored his priesthood fully. He was a scout leader for many years, and served as ward clerk to six different bishops, about 17 years consistently. Quinn’s love of the Lord showed in the way he lived his life and respected everyone he met. He has left his family an example of gratitude, humility and what it means to truly be a disciple of Christ.

There existed a special love and respect between Quinn and his grandchildren. Four great-grandchildren have been named for him and many have sent him cards they painted and drew for him. Even though he was a quiet man, Quinn had a wonderful sense of humor, which he shared with us up to the end.

Quinn was preceded in death by his parents Hans and Mercy and four of his siblings: LaVell, Rena, VerNell and Ken. He is survived by his wife, Sylvia, sister Ramona, his children Ryan Quinn (Karen) Chamberlain, Madelyn (Larry) Liston, Clarence Ferl (Tina) Chamberlain, and Curtis Hans (Ava) Chamberlain; 17 grandchildren and 39 great-grandchildren.
