Kevin Eldredge

Kevin Dix Eldredge, 66, passed away at his home in Cedar City, Utah early in the morning Saturday, March 15, 2025. He was born October 12, 1958 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Gordon Eldredge and Deanne Asay.

Recently Kevin had spent some much beloved time serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Nauvoo, Illinois. Kevin loved to spend time in the temple and worked in the baptistery there. He also served in the Cedar City, Utah temple, the St. George, Utah temple, the Bismark, North Dakota temple and the Denver, Colorado temple.

Earlier in life Kevin graduated from Union High School lettering in many sports then served an LDS mission in the Netherlands. On return, he met and married a beautiful dark-haired girl, Verna Ann “Annie” Trujillo. They were married and sealed for all eternity in the Salt Lake City, Utah temple April 18, 1980.

Kevin was talented in many things including archery. He spent time teaching youth, participating in and coaching tournaments at the national and world level. He also used his bow to hunt. He loved spending time in the mountains.

Kevin started out young delivering propane and eventually became an expert on all things propane. Kevin also spent time officiating many sports at different levels.

He took great pride in and looked forward to supporting each of his grandkids in their extra-curricular and sports activities where he cheered for them and offered words of encouragement and wisdom.

He was witty and charming and could maybe even claim the title for the king of dad jokes. He always lent a helping hand and had a treat for the kids at church and pretty much everywhere he went. He will surely be missed beyond measure.

Kevin is survived by his wife and sweetheart, Annie Eldredge; his 5 children, Ashli (Tom) Muth, Joelann (Mike) Johnson, Kelci (AJ) Johnson, Landon Eldredge, Shaela (Rawley) Burningham; his siblings, Cameron (Denise) Eldredge, Kelly (Mike) Robb, Karmin Eldredge; 20 beloved grandchildren and many extended family members and cherished friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents and an infant brother, Cory Dee Eldredge.
