•Dean Jackson is known as a local protestant minister and past Rotary District Governor for Utah, but many may not know that he was once the deputy coroner for Teton County, Wyoming. He is now chaplain for the Provo Police Department, is a certified mediator, and has recently written a book on death notification – a manual for law enforcement first responders who must notify family members of a death.
Nathan Beesley spoke about his business, Beesley Monument Company, founded in Provo in 1889 by his great grandfather Thomas Albert Beesley. He told several delightful stories about the growth of the business which makes cemetery monuments (headstones) and concrete burial vaults. He also introduced his daughter Lorna who accompanied him today.
