William Schwartz

William Dallas Schwartz, better known as Bill, Dad, Grandpa, and Loving Husband, was born on May 22, 1961. His humble beginning in Berwyn, Illinois lead to a childhood of adventure. He was forced to grow up quickly when his mother died suddenly at the young age of 36. Bill was a jack of all trades from painter and butcher to self-taught mechanic. He joined the Navy in 1984 and found his life calling as a nuclear electrician. His service in the U.S. Navy consisted of months of tight quarters under the sea on the U.S.S. Lewis and Clarke. He saw many countries during his service in the Persian-Gulf war. He was honorably discharged from the Navy in 1995, but couldn’t keep away from the water. He settled in Dutch John, Utah where he could be at the lake in any spare time he had. He worked for the Bureau of Reclamation as an electrician. He became an invaluable employee, foreman and friend to those he worked with. His constant desire to learn and grow has made him the “go-to” person for many. We know that he will be watching over and protecting us along with those who went before him; his mother Verita (Minnie) Schwartz who passed in 1968 and father Donald Joseph Schwartz who passed 2003. On the afternoon of June 6th 2015 at the young age of 54 he passed away leaving behind his wife and true love Patty Schwartz, his son and daughter-in-law Michael (Brady) and Jaime Schwartz, his daughter Alyssa Schwartz, his three granddaughters; Oaklee, Claire, and Miley, his brother, sister-in-law, and nephew Jeff, Caroline, and Damien Schwartz, and his friends that he loved and considered his own kids; Kenzie, Cameron, and Zach Jones. As well as his Patty’s family who loved him as their own son and brother.

Memorial services were held Saturday, June 13, 2015 under the direction of the Ashley Valley Funeral Home.
