Ivan Y Haskell, 91, of Payson, passed away on May 4, 2023, of causes incident to age, and complications related to an accident, while working with a colt in August of 2021.
Dad was born to parents, Lee Mearl and Nellie Youd Haskell, on January 3, 1932, the second of two children. His sister was ten years his senior. He spent nearly his entire life living in Haskellville, east of Payson, except for a couple of brief periods of time, when he worked out of state, in Nevada for the railroad, and Seattle for Boeing.
He grew up mostly an only child, due to his sister's death from diabetes, when she was 16 years old. Dad struggled with her death for years. He graduated from Payson High School. He was always ambitious and a hard worker. One of his first jobs as a child was delivering fliers on his horse, for the movie theater in town. He always had a love for horses and cattle.
He grew up on a farm with his father and continued to farm his entire life until his horse accident. His farm was named a Legacy Farm by the Utah Farm Bureau and State of Utah. He raised quality Quarter Horses and Polled Hereford cattle. His livestock were recognized nationally at one time and had won many awards.
Besides farming, he worked in the Pipe Mill and Rolling Mill at Geneva Steel, retiring after thirty years. Dad and Mom went on to serve three missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Nauvoo, IL, Wolf Point, MT, and the MTC at BYU Provo. He also served as a temple ordinance worker for over eighteen years at the Provo and Payson, Utah Temples. Dad volunteered in many organizations, including the Peteetneet Museum, and the Sons of the Utah Pioneers. He has been a lifelong active member of his Church, serving in many callings, some of which include Boy Scout Master, High Priest Group Counselor, Ward Missionary Leader & Temple Ordinance Worker. Dad was himself, an Eagle Scout. His legacy also included multiple books, pamphlets, and papers written. He loved the history of his genealogy, community, and church, which he wrote about. Most recently, Dad and Mom were Co-Grand Marshal's of the Payson Golden Onion Days, in 2022.
Dad met his beautiful wife, DeLowa Batty, in a Sunday School Class at the Payson 1st Ward, and almost immediately made the decision she was the one. They married in the St. George Temple, on February 9, 1952, and soon began their family of five children, Craig (Marie, deceased; Sandra), Payson, UT, Jeff (Aldean), Blackfoot, ID, Betty Ann (Bill) Murray, Rose Park, UT, Steve (Karen) Salem, UT, and Sandy (Joe) Dinkins, Salem, UT, and were foster parents to three Lamanite children, Sara Jose, Arlene McCabe, and Harry Brown. He bragged that he preselected the genders and names for all his children in order before they were born. Dad's family was what he was most proud of, with 24 grandchildren, 55 great grandchildren and two great, great grandchildren.
Dad is survived by his wife of 71 years, his five children and their spouses, all his grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great, great grandchildren, sister-in-law Elaine Cartwright (Randy), and two brother's-in-law, John (Teresa) Batty, Kanarraville, UT and Travis (Debbie) Batty, New Harmony, UT.

San Jose Mercury News (CA)
November 25, 2014The family of Edward Vern Gabriel, Jr. is saddened to announce his passing on November 18, 2014 at the age of 88. Ed passed away at his home in Millbrae, California surrounded by his loving family.
Born to Edward Vern Gabriel, Sr. and Emma Lavina McFarland in 1926, Ed was the oldest son of 13 siblings. Ed left the farm at the age 17 to join the U.S. Navy during World War II. Ed sailed aboard the USS Jerauld as an Electrician's Mate P-Second Class. He was honorably discharged from the United States Navy Reserve in 1955, and was proud to be part of the "Greatest Generation".
After serving his country with honor, Ed settled in the San Francisco Bay Area, meeting and marrying his sweetheart, Lavern.
Together they raised two daughters in San Bruno and Millbrae, Ginger Lee Valencia (Michael) and Sharon Lavern Armanino (Vincent), his youngest, who predeceased him one month ago to make sure he had a loving smile to welcome him into heaven.
Ed had a 35 year long career as a Senior Industrial Electrician with Varian Associates -Eimac, first in their plant in San Bruno and then their headquarters in San Carlos. Also, Ed managed his own electrical company, Gabriel Electric, until 1985 when he finally gave away his work truck so that he could tell his many loyal clients he really did retire. More than anything in the world, Ed cherished his family. His greatest joy was doing things that would make his children and grandchildren happy. He would fix a broken faucet or build a go-kart for a grandchild, or a staircase for a family dog that had gotten too old to jump up onto the bed. If you need him to, Ed could put an addition on your house. He had a superior work ethic that he strived to pass on to those who ever worked with him or help him complete one of his many projects. On his 80th birthday, Ed's son-in-law said "When I do a job I ask myself "is this the way Ed would have done it?" if the answer is yes, I know it's a job expertly done".
Ed is survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Lavern; his daughter, Ginger Valencia; his sons-in-law, Michael Valencia and Vincent Armanino; his grandchildren, Lauren, Scott, Rachelle, Gina, Eric and his great grandchildren, Kylie, Grayson and Colton.
