David Drew Jorgensen

April 22, 1937 — April 6, 2023

Our devoted, brave, and loving husband and father, David Drew Jorgensen, was reunited with our Savior Jesus Christ on April 6, 2023.

Dave was born on April 22, 1937 to Daniel Drew and Pearl Allen Jorgensen. He has one sister, Marianne, whom he loves dearly. He was raised in Ogden where he made many dear, life-long friends.

Dave served two and a half years for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Uruguayan Mission.

Dave met the love of his life, his eternal companion, Jan, in 1960. They were married in 1962 in the Salt Lake Temple and eventually became the parents of three daughters and one son.

Dave graduated with a degree in electrical engineering and worked for the Bell System subsidiaries throughout his life.

Dave loved family history and gardening and became a Master Gardener. He kept an immaculate yard.

Dave is an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many callings throughout his life. Dave and Jan also served a Family History Mission.

Almost six years ago, Dave was diagnosed with an aggressive prostate cancer that had already begun to spread throughout his body. He was blessed with a profound quality of life during this period. We are so grateful for his caring medical team, which included Dr. Sherman Sutherland, Rick Cloward, PA, Dr. Brian Heaton, and nurses, Pat, and Heather, as well as many others. During the last four months of life, Dave was cared for by Victoria and others of Intermountain Hospice.

Dave is survived by his wife, Jan of 61 years; children, Alisa and Kevin Sumsion, Lynette and Steven Hancock, Carolyn and Leland Heywood, and Mike and Julie Jorgensen; and his sister, Marianne (Arza) Stewart. He is also survived by 27 grandchildren and their spouses and 24 great-grandchildren.
