J. Scott Hiibner

Scott Hiibner, 56, passed away January 16, 2009 at McKay Dee Hospital in Ogden suddenly from cardiac arrest due to a short, severe illness. He was born February 19, 1952 to Glenn and Ivaloo Hiibner in Logan, Utah. He married Nita Futch March 9, 1979 and was later sealed in the Logan LDS Temple March 10, 1983.

He is survived by his wife Nita. His daughters Rael (Kent) Thomson of Millville; Summer Howe of Smithfield; Angie (Terrin) Porter of Kansas City, MO; and Sharell (Josef) Lagunas of Mendon. His grandkids Jaden, Cortney, Ashlyn, and Dax Thomson; Baylee and Brighten Howe; Tate, Ty, and Brooke Porter; Forrester and Kaeden Lagunas. His parents Glenn and Ivaloo Hiibner of Mendon. His sister Karen (Bob) DeGasser of Mendon, and his brother Jeff Hiibner of Spokane, WA.

Scott (aka - Founder of the “Mendonsippi”), loved a good prank. Those who knew him found him witty, yet sincere. He would never hesitate to pull off the road to help someone in need.

He was a dedicated husband and father who loved his girls. He taught his daughters to maintain a car, filet a fish, tie a knot and not throw “like a girl”. Yet let them know how beautiful they are, always encouraging them to wear one piece turtleneck swimsuits. He loved his grandkids, he taught them how to hunt, fish, ride a four-wheeler and plant a potato. He loved to hear them laugh, so much that he built them a playhouse before he built his own home.

He enjoyed the simple things in life; his yard, hiking, and taking pride in having the first ripe tomato of the season. He loved living in the shadows of the “Mendon Mountains”. One of the highlights of every year was the deer hunt with the Boss Canyon Hunting Club, which he founded with his close friends, Henry and Ron. How much hunting they did we will never know, as he rarely came home with a deer.

As a former Lewiston resident, he loved returning to visit old neighbors and friends, especially during the Fourth of July. He loved sports of all kinds, whether it was playing Church ball or with the boys at Pepperidge Farm. His recent passion was “Skiing The Beav”.

Whether at home or on the job Scott was always hard working. He was a dedicated asset to the Pepperidge Farm team for over 34 years. He had a lot of close friends and good memories. Inside and outside of work he enjoyed the friendships he made.

He was greatly loved and will be missed by many.
