Our loving Husband, Father, Grandfather and Brother Delaine Sweat, age 77, passed away Thursday, November 25, 2010, in Heber City, Utah.

Born May 8, 1933, in Wallsburg, Utah, the son of Charles and Lela Bethers Sweat.

Dad was a veteran of the U.S. Navy serving during the Korean War. Delaine was a very hard worker, often working more than one job to provide for his family.

Delaine worked most of his life as a miner and was even the last person to leave the HECLA mine in Park City. He worked many years as a truck driver for KOCH and earlier in his career also worked as a Park Ranger.

Delaine was an active member of the LDS Church, serving in various callings throughout the years. He was an amazing example and the Best Dad four kids could ever have. He was always kind and tender with his grandchildren and spending time with them was one of his favorite things to do.

He is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Ruby; four children: Lavar Kenneth (Dixie) Daybell, Randy Lee (Nancy) Daybell, Marty Steven (Cindy) Daybell, Lela Marie (Gordon) Hall; siblings: Ron (Virginia) Sweat, Burton Kay (Jolene) Sweat, Thomas Fred (Colene) Sweat, Allen (Chris) Sweat; 17 grand children, 20 great-grand and one great-great-grandchild.

He is preceded in death by both parents; three brothers: Delbert Glen, Asil, Lloyd; four sisters: Phyllis Brewer, Lorraine Robertson, Mariam Preston, Clara Bowers; and great-granddaughter, Karley D. Hone.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday, December 1, 2010 – 11:00 A.M. in the Heber LDS 3rd Ward, 244 East 400 South, Heber City.

Viewings will be on Tuesday from 6:00 – 8:00 P.M. at the Church and on Wednesday from 9:30 – 10:30 A.M. prior to the services at the Church.

Interment will follow the services in the Heber City Cemetery



Both my Grandpa Dick and Grandpa Delaine had full military honors at their funerals. There  is a feeling of thankfulness that  burns deep in my heart for the freedoms and liberties that I enjoy without much thought to where they come from.





The mood never stays too somber for long with my family, and that is one of the things I love best about them. We can mourn and grieve, and then move on to a celebration of life, love, family, and memories that will continue on in our hearts and minds..........holy hallmark, sorry.



With all the funerals I have attended lately, the silver lining has to be, getting to see family. We really missed Hope and Jordan, and Mall and Jeff, this time around.





My Dad and his siblings. Lela, Lavar, Grandma Ruby, Marty and Randy (my Dad)

All things considered it was a really great day. Grandpa Delaine was a hell of a guy, who never said much, so when he did, it meant a whole lot more. R.I.P. Gramps.
