Posted By on June 9, 2010

Van O. Heder passed away from complications with Leukemia at age 46, on June 9, 2010. Van was born to Walt and Mabel Heder on January 25, 1964, in San Gabriel, Calif. He was the fourth of seven children. He married Wendy Poole on August 7, 1986 in the Salt Lake Temple. Van and Wendy were married for 23 years. He is survived by his wife Wendy, and six wonderful children: Nicole (Matthew) Palmer, Lindsie (Josh) Boucher, Megan, Kellie, Olivia and Joshua.

As per Van’s request, a closed casket viewing for friends and family will be held Friday, June 11 from 6-8 p.m. at Tate Mortuary (110 South Main Street in Tooele) and from 11-12:45 in the Relief Society room at the Tooele East Stake Center, 751 North 520 East (7th Street) in Tooele, Saturday, June 12. The family prayer will be at 12:45 and funeral services will begin at 1 p.m. The interment will be at the Tooele City Cemetery.

Van was a Seminary teacher for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Van’s greatest desire has always been to build the kingdom and spend his life in the service of the Lord. He had the opportunity to serve his Heavenly Father in many capacities from Scout Master to a Counselor in the Stake Presidency. Now that Van’s mission on this earth has been completed, it may be truthfully said of him, “Well done thou good and faithful servant.”

    Wendy, my heart just sank as I read your blog. I am so proud of your possitive attitude. You have not changed a bit. Please know your family is in our families prayers. I really liked visiting with Van when we saw you last. He was a classy man and had good taste. We just live across the mountain, 40 min away. If you need a cup of sugar, just say the word, we would be glad to bring it over. Hope to see you soon!

    Please accept my heartfelt sympathies for your loss. I was deeply saddened to learn of Van’s passing. I have such fond memories of the Heder family from our days in Richfield and have always appreciated and admired your phenomenal family. May you all be blessed with God’s sustaining love and comfort in the days to come.
