John Preece

John Clark Preece, 58, passed away on August 8, 2012 in Bountiful, Utah much to his dismay as he was planning on golfing 18 holes at Lakeside golf course with his buddies that day. John was a great golfer and loved the game. He got his first hole in one on February 27, 1999 and the second on July 14, 2010. He was a very talented finish carpenter. His work was a thing of beauty and perfection. His work can be seen all throughout Davis County in homes and businesses. He achieved an Eagle Scout as a boy.
John also enjoyed gardening and grew a garden and shared his fruit and vegetables with friends and family. He was a great and loyal friend to many. John enjoyed cooking and entertaining almost as much as eating at Kitty Pappas Steak House. He loved the Rolling Stone and named Angie after one of their songs. John was an avid Ute fan and already had his season tickets in hand.
