Preston, Idaho - - - Jedd A. Kofoed

Preston - Much loved, Jedd Arlo Kofoed passed away January 16, 2012, in Preston, Idaho at the age of 81. A very compassionate and loving man, Jedd was born in Weston, Idaho, on May 11, 1930, to Arthur and Rachel Machen Kofoed. The family lived in Weston until he was about five when they moved to Perry, Utah where his mother later married Clarence Hope. Jedd married Collen Pollock on June 12, 1946. Together they had two children and enjoyed family vacations, fixing cars, and raising show dogs. He worked at Kennocott for 38 years where he was elected to the union board before retiring in 1982.

Following retirement they relocated from West Valley, UT to Saint George, UT where they enjoyed golfing and traveling until Colleen's passing in May of 1993. Later he married Dorothy Burton Workman in Preston, Idaho. Jedd was a wonderful golfer and he spent many hours enjoying the sport and camaraderie. During winter months, time was spent in Saint George enjoying the sunshine and friendships, but he was always glad to return to Idaho in the summer to enjoy the back porch, mowing the lawns, and the extended family.

He is survived by his wife, Dorothy; brother, Orvid "Tub" (Ana Mae) Kofoed of Sunset, UT; sister, Tessie Atkinson of Ogden, UT; his step- brothers, Gary (Dorothy) Hope of Centerville, UT, Robert (Marion) Hope of Brigham City, UT; half-sister, Pat (George) Fishel of Layton, UT; half-brothers, Cecil (Suzanne) Hope of Syracuse, UT, Mick (Faye) Hope of Ashton, ID; daughter, Sandra (Jim) Clark of Lehi, UT; a daughter-in-law Shelia Kofoed, of Kingman, AZ; step children, Scott (Robin) Workman and Todd Workman of Preston, ID, Dawn (Don) Richards of Little Rock, AR, Rozann (William) Wood of North Logan, UT and Randy (Sheila) Lowe of West Point, UT; and many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Jedd was preceded in death by his parents; step father; first wife; brothers, Arthur "Quay" and Vern; sister, Zapha; step sister, Colleen Thompson; son, Steven Jedd; and his grandson Steve Myers.

Jedd's motto was to work harder than the others, be there early, be responsible and take care of your obligations. Thank you for the great example you set for us! We love you and tee one up for us!
