DIXON JOHN FARLEY~~~ A TRUE SUPERHEROE

 

Dixon John Farley

April 23, 2010 — May 5, 2026

Mount Pleasant

Listen to Obituary

Dixon John (DJ) Farley, of Mount Pleasant, Utah passed away in his family’s arms on May 5, 2026 at Primary Children’s Hospital. He was born April 23, 2010 in Nephi, Utah. Dixon suffered from a severe genetic form of epilepsy starting when he was 4 years old. Dixon always wanted to be a superhero and with the gift of his organs being donated to and gratefully received by others, his life will go on. We hope they are ready to be superheroes too, because Dixon has always been a superhero. From the time he was a toddler, he could pick out people who needed his superhero hugs. He would insist that complete strangers would let him hug them, and you could just watch the stress and worry and anxiety leave their bodies. He gave us that gift up to his final breath. THAT, is a true superhero!

Most people didn’t understand the depth of Dixon’s intelligence and personality. He was a prankster and loved jokes, but he was also a very deep thinker. He didn't just blindly believe what he saw or read — he questioned everything with adults whom he trusted and then formed his own belief system and understanding of life and beyond. Even though Dixon was often bullied, ignored or just misunderstood, he never held a grudge against anyone. He was a living example of turning the other cheek. He enjoyed hanging out with his cousin, Payton Johansen; they were like brothers. He adored his cousin John Wayne Oldroyd and looked forward to spending time with him during school holidays. Dixon was comfortable at home, but he liked spending time camping with his family, hiking and going fast with his dad in the side-by-side and riding and grooming horses with his mom. Being a typical little brother, he delighted in pushing his sister Dannie’s buttons but he knew that she would always have his back. He always had a project to keep the adults in his life busy creating and building things with him. Dixon’s honorary Uncle Colter and Auntie Teasha spent much quality time with him hanging out doing everything from playing video games to ghost hunting in the cemetery after dark.

Dixon’s epilepsy made him think more deeply and respond more slowly than many of his peers. Luckily, his first teacher was “Miss Debbie” at Head Start, who was patient and caring and taught him in a way which he understood and she wasn’t afraid of hugging him. Tara Syme was the only one of Dixon’s teachers in middle school who allowed him to learn at his own pace and she taught him to love history. Dixon finally came into his own in high school. Cami Christensen and her SPED team finally gave Dixon an educational home with expectations, boundaries and the opportunity to learn at the highest level he was capable of. He felt secure in this environment — he made friends, he participated in sports, he was invited to the Preference Dance and was great friends with Boston Toomey, who always treated him as just one of the guys.

Dixon is survived by and will always be cherished by his family: his mother, Sydnie Farley; his father, Seth Farley; his sister, Dannie Farley; and his grandparents, Danny and Marles Oldroyd and Dixon and Beverly Farley. Dixon is also survived by his uncles, Justin Farley and his wife Stacy, Weston Farley and his wife Savannah, and John Oldroyd and his wife Jo; as well as his aunties, Amanda Alejandro and her husband Vic, Donnell Johansen and her husband Ben, and Megan Jessop and her husband Samuel, and a wealth of cousins. During his time in the ICU, Dixon was surrounded by his grandparents and his many aunts, uncles, and cousins from both sides of the family. This outpouring of love, support, and kindness is an ongoing gift to the family.

Memorial Services were held on Saturday, June 6th at 1:00 pm at the Wasatch Academy Music Conservatory (formerly the First Presbyterian Church), which is located at 92 South 100 West in Mount Pleasant, Utah.

William Clark Shelley

July 23, 1940 — December 25, 2025

Listen to Obituary

William Clark Shelley, or Clark was born July 23, 1940 to Elmer J. and Rega Clark Shelley in Mountainville, Utah. He was the second of ten children. The first of three boys and brother to seven sisters. Clark spent his early years working the farm with dad. When he turned nineteen he joined the United States military serving in the Army as Marksman. His hard work and service earned him two Good Conduct Medals as a Sharpshooter as well as from the National Defense Service. He was honorably discharged in April 1967.

Clark earned an associate degree from Snow College and began work in Salt Lake as a RV mechanic repair technician. He later married Vivian Kathleen Bawden in the Manti Utah Temple and became a step-father to her two children Bryan and Maria.

After retirement Clark moved back to live in the home he grew up in and became dedicated to family history work. He provided thousands of names to family members and the Church for Temple work. He also taught community members around him how to research their own family history and prepare names for the Temple.

Clark has always had a gentle and generous heart. In addition to family history, in the last years of his life Clark developed a love of sewing. His first attempts were rough but before long he was

quickly completing hundreds of chair cushions, eyeglass cases, and quilts. His creations were quietly and lovingly donated to those in need.

Clark loved his family. He would write in his journal about the gratitude and joy he felt spending time with them. While he and Kathy were not blessed with additional children, we are grateful for the promises of continued and eternal families in the eternities. He passed away quietly in his home December 25, 2025.

He is survived by his siblings: Veone Ontiveros (Limhi), Linda Davis, Patricia Bills (David, Susan Allred (Phillip), Douglas Shelley (Julie, Leslie Arnoldson, and Sara Johansen and stepson Bryan Christensen.

He was preceded in death by his wife Kathy and step daughter Maria Christensen. As well as parents Elmer and Rega, brother Darrell, sister Colleen Robinson and brother-in-laws, John Davis, Gary Arnoldson and Tommy Johansen.
