[br][br]Fred B. Utter, Jr.
Age 84, peacefully entered into eternal rest on June 1, 2014 at his home in Tucson, AZ. He was surrounded by his children as he joined our Lord and his beloved wife of 58 years, Nancy who preceded him in death on March 2, 2012. He is survived by his children Cindy Taylor, Carol O'Cell, Rick Utter and Laura Utter. Fred has 11 grandchildren and 2 great grandsons.
Born April 29, 1930 in Los Angeles, CA, his family moved to Spokane, WA in 1941 when his father, Fred Utter Sr. became the Cadillac and Pontiac dealer in Spokane. Fred Utter Jr was the owner of Utter Motor Company from 1965 until he retired in 1989.
He served in the USAF, was a member of many civic, social and charitable organizations and he and Nancy were founding members of the Spokane Racquet Club and St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Spokane. Later on, First Presbyterian became their church home in Spokane.
Fred was an avid bike rider and over the years enjoyed sailing at Priest Lake, playing tennis, snow and water skiing, scuba diving, and of course he always enjoyed a good laugh. After retirement he and Nancy traveled extensively with friends and wintered in Tucson, Arizona. Nine years ago they moved to Tucson permanently making their church home there at Northminster Presbyterian where he was a Deacon. Fred and Nancy especially enjoyed it when friends from Spokane would visit them in Tucson and also when they would come back to Spokane to visit friends and family.
Please join us at 1pm on Saturday July 12, 2014 at First Presbyterian Church, 318 S. Cedar St, Spokane, WA for a celebration of Fred's life.
