Rhet J Thalman
8/31/1969 ~ 9/12/2026
After a long struggle and an exhausting battle, Rhet chose to find peace and return home on September 12, 2026. As he finally finds peace, the many people touched by his compassionate heart are left with memories filled with love and humor. Rhet J Thalman was born in Richfield, Utah, on July 31, 1969, to Ron and LouAnn Jones Thalman. He was their second son and was later joined by a younger sister and brother. Rhet’s mother has always said, “Rhet came with such a huge heart that he was giving to a fault.” Whenever he saw an opportunity to serve, he took it without ever expecting anything in return. From an early age, Rhet developed a strong work ethic. He worked alongside his father and older brother managing the ranch. Rhet attended Juab High School, where he participated in sports, band, and various clubs, making many lifelong friends along the way. After high school, while working toward a degree at Snow College, he married his high school sweetheart, RaDawna Maria Yates. Rhet and RaDawna soon filled their home with four little girls. Determined to provide his family with a good life, Rhet worked many different jobs. He continued working on the ranch, became a DJ, and worked as a network engineer for several companies. Eventually, he built a successful company of his own, Unlimited Technologies, an accomplishment of which he was incredibly proud. Rhet was always too smart for his own good. After 20 years of marriage, Rhet and RaDawna parted ways but remained friends and continued raising their daughters as partners. Rhet welcomed his best friend, Carl Day, into the family as RaDawna’s husband, and together they created a dynamic daddy duo. Rhet’s oldest daughter is Tyrie (Corky Fraughton), followed by Malina (Daniel McIntosh), Tayla Thalman, and his youngest, MaKiah (Chandler Barker). Together, his four daughters gave him nine grandchildren. Later in life, Rhet welcomed two more children, Robin and Duke Thalman. Rhet had no fear and always loved a good adventure. He was passionate about many things. He treasured every opportunity to travel the world, making friends wherever he went through his genuine kindness and humility. He loved all kinds of music, a passion he passed down to his children. Rhet had a gift for making people laugh and could use humor to help himself and others through almost any situation. He could read a room and always seemed to recognize when someone needed help and when he saw a need, he quietly stepped in to fill it. He was deeply empathetic and genuinely cared about the people around him. Rhet was also endlessly curious and constantly learning. He could never get enough information. He was fascinated by developing technology while also having a deep appreciation for history. He loved random gadgets. You could always count on him to fix anything, by any means necessary. More than anything, he loved sharing his interests, knowledge, humor, and passions with his family and many friends. There was nothing you couldn’t turn to Rhet for. No matter what you brought to him, he would listen without judgment and never make you feel ashamed for asking for help. Although he was a big, tough, masculine man, he also had an incredibly tender heart and was often moved to tears. He spent most of his life being a hero and an example to many. He loved serving others, always putting their needs before his own, but he often struggled to accept help himself. Above all his passions and adventures, Rhet loved his family more than anything. Nothing hurt him more than being apart from them. We’ll catch up with you on your next adventure. Rhet is survived by his parents, children, grandchildren, best friend RaDawna, siblings Katie (Shawn) Silcox, Jacob (Chandra) Thalman and sister in law Karla Thalman. Preceded in death by older brother Thane Thalman. Visitation will be held Friday, September 25, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Anderson Funeral Home, 94 West 300 North, Nephi.

Michael Darwin Cannell
|9/2/1965 ~ 9/25/2026
Michael Darwin Cannell, a noble father and husband, did peacefully depart this earth on Friday, the 25th of September, in the year of our Lord 2026, at the age of 60. He fought bravely against a cruel, dark shadow of the brain/mind known as glioblastoma, matching it blow for blow with the courage of the old kings until his spirit was called home.
He was the 3rd of 6 children born to Darwin J. and Patricia Reeves Cannell. By a strange twist of fate, he was among the very last babes born within the ancient walls of the old Logan Regional Infirmary, ere it was thrown down and made into a parking lot for the Logan Temple. In the days of his youth, he labored with great constancy upon his family’s fair estate in the rolling hills of Smithfield, Utah. There he was taught that a worthy life is built by the sweat of one’s brow and by honest work. In the year 1983, Michael completed his schooling at Skyview High School, holding ever dear the days he marched and played right merrily among the famed minstrels of the Skyview Marching Band. From 1984 through 1986, he went questing as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the distant lands of the Florida Tampa Mission, to declare his faith. Thereafter, he bound his soul for all eternity to his beloved companion, Joye Hahne, within the sacred walls of the St. George Temple, while proving his worth to newly found brother in-laws within the Emerald Room of the temple. He took great joy in serving his Creator and all those around him. He was a man of great lore, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Respiratory Therapy from Weber State University and later a Master’s degree in Hospital Administration from the University of South Dakota. As a Respiratory Therapist, he labored in many a hospital, specializing in cardiac, pediatric, and NICU He brought great comfort to those burdened with the heavy affliction of the lungs called cystic fibrosis, mending their strength through nourishment, breath-craft, and bodily exercise. In the year 2000, he journeyed with his household to the township of Nephi, there to take up the mantle of Manager of Respiratory Therapy at Central Valley Medical Center. Michael was a devoted father, a faithful husband, and a craftsman of marvelous skill. He took great delight in working with his hands, in traveling, in attending the concerts of his good lady, in cheering on Utah State, and in moving the hearts of all to laughter. Ever at his feet through his man adventures were his loyal four-legged companions: Pippin, a hound of great mischief and heart, and Bilbo Waggins Dog, a brave little traveler fond of second breakfasts. He leaves behind his cherished wife, Joye; his sons Alexander (Kayshia), Nicholas (Yvonne), and Benjamin; his daughters Sarah and Genevieve (Dylan); his five siblings and eleven in-laws; his faithful hounds; and a great multitude of nieces and nephews. He ever placed the comfort of others above his own, and he shall be sorely missed by all who knew him. The family will receive friends at Anderson Funeral Homes, 94 West 300 North, Nephi, Utah, on Thursday, October 1st, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., and again on Friday, October 2nd, from 10:00 to 10:45 a.m. at the Nephi North Stake Center, 1125 North 400 East, Nephi, Utah. The funeral service will begin there at 11:00 a.m. “Renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crowns again shall be king.” — J.R.R. Tolkien “End? No, the journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take.” — Gandalf
