William Martin Hines

William Martin Hines, 82, passed away July 18, 2019 surrounded by his loving family after losing his battle with dementia.  He was born September 9, 1936 on Happy Jack Rd. in Cheyenne, WY to William Cecil and Henrietta Rose (Dooren) Hines.  He retired from the Union Pacific Railroad in 1996 after 40+ years of service as a pipefitter.  Whenever a train whistle blows, we will always think of him.  He was a gentle soul who loved his bowling, fishing and golf, especially with the family.  He bowled on the same league (Union Pacific) for over 30 years and spent the last 10 years bowling on that league with his daughters.  He had a mechanical mind and could fix anything he set his mind to.  The family would like to thank Canyon Rim Care Center and the St. Mark’s Hospital Hospice team for taking such great care of dad in his final days. 

He is survived by his daughters Darla (Sheldon) & Devvon (Dustin), his two younger brothers Jim (Jane) & Bob (Cece), 5 grandkids Colton, Brody (Brooke), Tanner (Aveen), Dylan and Kylie.  He was proceeded in death by his loving wife Donna, Father and Mother William and Henrietta, sister-in-law Patricia and nephew John. 

A Celebration of Life Open House will be held on Saturday July 27, 2019 between 1-4 PM at 12041 S. Draper Ridge Dr.,  Draper Utah.  In lieu of flowers please make a donation in the family’s name to the Alzheimer’s Association www.alz.org.  Let’s find a cure for this horrible disease.
