Allan Wayne DeVaul

Today May 25, 2016, I said good-bye to the man I love with all my heart. The one I have lived with, slept with, played with, laughed with and cried with for the past 30 years. Allan was a good man, his heart and hands ready and willing to help those in need. Family was very important to him. He loved and cherished his time with nieces and nephews. He loved to make others laugh and he always had all the toys to do that with. But his body came to the point; it could go no furtherso he willingly slipped his hand in that of his Heavenly Father to wait for our family's re-union in Heaven. I'm sure Grandma Carma and Tonya will be excited to see him and show him the way. Allan was the first born child of Fred Allen DeVaul and Lois Jacobsen DeVaul. Born on December 2, 1965, raised in Salt Lake City and graduated from West High in 1984, he married his life's companion Jackie Sue Nelson Geswaldi. We have stood together through thick and thin, always assured of our love for each other. Allan worked as a Technical Writer for L3 for the past 20 years. There he gained the respect and friendship of his fellow employees. Being the "go to" guy to fix or correct all the documents and proposals etc. Anyone who met Allan was no doubt touched by his generosities and personal commitments. Allan lived each day to the fullest surrounding himself with positive energy and people that meant so much to him. He is survived by his wife Jackie, his mother Lois Jacobsen DeVaul Austin Williamson and (step father) Doug Williamson, brother Dale DeVaul & Dale's sons, Bruce, Brett and Joshua, Sister Tonya's kids, Zac, Shelby and Mckensie, Sister-in-law Pat Stone, Uncle Lynn Jacobsen, Uncle Glen Jacobsen (Jackie) and their kids, Craig, Lori and DuWayne, and his Step Brother Roland Austin (Dawn) and their kids, Chris, Amber, Elizabeth and Dallas.Preceded in death by his father Fred Allen DeVaul, and Grandparents Carma and Lee Jacobsen and baby sister Tonya Eldridge Starks and (step father) Stan Austin.
