Bud Leon Clavell Obituary
1948 ~ 2015
Bud "Buddy" Leon Clavell, went to be with his Lord and Savior, on February 26, 2015. After an intense eight month battle with leukemia, Bud was reunited in heaven with his beloved wife, Janice Clavell, who passed away in June of 2014.
Bud was born on August 6, 1948 in Price, Utah, to Bud and Marie Clavell. He is the oldest of three Clavell boys. Bud was "reborn" on April 25, 2009 when he became a Christian.
Bud graduated from Cypress High School in 1966. He served in the U.S. Army from April 1968-November 1969, where he was a helicopter mechanic. During his service, he fought in the Vietnam War and earned a distinguished air medal. He graduated from Utah Trade Technical College in June of 1976. Bud moved to California in 1977, where the majority of his career was spent as the Facilities & Maintenance Supervisor (overseeing all electrical work and electricians) at Senior Aerospace Ketema in El Cajon, California.
Bud is survived by his brothers Don (wife Debbi) and Gary (wife Malynn), his son Graylin (wife Gale), his daughter Heather (husband Bond) and his grandchildren, Mason, Haley and Baby Girl Gaona (Heather and Bond) due July 2015.
Bud will always be remembered for his love of his family, the Raiders, golfing, coaching soccer, eating hamburgers, and driving fast cars. He told amazing stories, comforted those in need, even during his own time of distress and was always there when you needed him. He devoted the last 6 years of his life to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He shared this message of love with everyone he met, and everywhere he went, including mission trips to Africa!
We love and miss you Buddy! You are forever in our hearts and memories.
A Celebration of Life for Bud Clavell will be held Saturday, March 7, at 2:00 p.m. at Calvary Chapel Ramona, 114 14th Street, Suite D, Ramona, CA 92065.

September 8, 1932 ~ February 27, 2015
Price, Utah-Ray S. Christensen, 82, passed away February 27, 2015 after a very short, intense battle with pancreatic and liver cancer.

He spent over three decades in the local coal mining industry, including Kaiser Steel, Braztah, Soldier Creek Coal, and finishing at Emery Mining Corp. His happiest times throughout his childhood and adult life were spent at Fish Lake, Utah with family and friends.
