Elder Dean Davies died Tuesday, August 31, 2021 in North Salt Lake after battling cancer. He was a husband, father, grandfather and a dedicated disciple of the church. He served almost a decade as a general authority. Elder Davies was usually a familiar face at many new temple sites in the days leading up to the temple dedication events.
The house of the Lord, he once said, “is the virtual evidence of the Lord’s tangible love for His people. He reached out and provides these houses where we can learn of Him and His Son and be united as families. You really can’t describe it — it just fills your heart with gratitude.”
His warm smile and wisdom gave him the friendship and trust of people of all backgrounds. Elder Davies, who was 69, had a wife, Sister Darla Davies, five children and 16 grandchildren.
Both he and Sister Davies served as missionary companions when he was president of the Puerto Rico San Juan Mission from 1998 to 2001.
On October 3 of 2020, Elder Dean Davies was released from the Presiding Bishopric before he was called as a General Authority Seventy in the church.
The Funeral services are awaiting.
