Hugh Marion Lyman Jr.

Hugh Marion Lyman, Jr., 95, passed away on November 14, 2024, in St. George, Utah. Born on July 28, 1929, he was truly a gifted man of exceptional talents and varied interests. Throughout his life, he excelled as a mechanical engineer, salesman, musician, hunter, fisherman, navigator, carpenter, pilot, designer, golfer, welder, draftsman, and inventor. His passion for technology and innovation was evident in his later years as a 3-D printing enthusiast, where he meticulously designed digital models of over 190 LDS temples.

Hugh's educational journey included attending various primary schools, graduating from Great Neck High School in Long Island, New York and studying for three years at the University of Utah.

His commitment to service was demonstrated through his time as an LDS missionary in California and his temple service in his later years.

Hugh is survived by his children: Leon (Teresa) Lyman, Leslie (William) Forsyth, and Jane Lyman; stepchildren: Greg Beal and Fletcher Beal; six grandchildren; four step grandchildren; and twelve great-grandchildren. He also leaves behind his sisters: Bonnie Edwards and Barbara Rowley. Hugh was preceded in death by his wife: Jeanne E. Beal; parents: Hugh M. Lyman, Sr. and Fern Welker; siblings: Jay H. Lyman, Betty Rasmussen, and Fern Brown; and his son, Bart M. Lyman.

A graveside service will be held in the spring of 2025 at Tooele, Utah Cemetery (date to be later announced). In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to be made to the LDS Church Missionary Fund at: donate.churchofjesuschrist.org.

Hugh will be missed and remembered for his stories of adventures in the wild, his soaring the skies, his innovative creations, his constant singing, and his testimony of the Savior, Jesus Christ. All will live on through his family and friends.
