Memorial Service announcement for Iraqi war veteran, Dr. John Cloninger



John Cloninger passed away the morning of Feb 20, 2012. He leaves behind six young children and a supportive, loving and devoted wife - the mother of his children. Funeral arrangements with full military honors, at his request, will take place in Morgan, Utah on Saturday, Feb 25th.

John gave a talk in church - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - after he received a remarkable recovery following brain surgery. He titled it Hardships. We highly recommend it.

The Lord needed his hands and his mind to work well and function with full capacity for a while following that surgery. Surely there were those who needed the skills and the blessing he alone could provide. Certainly, his wife and children needed him.

Through the will of Him who knows all things and who sees all things before Him, John Cloninger was not meant to survive. Several days after turning 42 years old, he went back home to that God who gave him life. He will be sorely missed.

Don't forget to read his talk on Hardships.
