Grant C. Tingey - Walker Funeral Home

Grant Cook Tingey, 90, of Lake Shore, Utah, passed away peacefully at his home on August 1, 2021. He was born September 23, 1930, in Woodruff, Utah, son of Thomas Josiah (Jody) and Rowena Cook Tingey. He married the love of his life, Lois Joyce Carter, on February 14, 1951, in Salt Lake City Utah Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Grant graduated from Brigham Young University, with a degree in Animal Science, in 1952. He played catcher with the BYU baseball team. Grant was a founding member of the BYU Intercollegiate Rodeo Team.

After graduation, he took his bride and newborn child to work for the Miller Family Ranch in Big Piney, Wyoming. Grant loved the ranching lifestyle, but his loving young wife, not so much.

Grant moved his family to Bountiful, Utah, where he worked for the Salt Lake Stock Yards. Grant was then employed as a full-time cattle buyer for the Cudahy Packing Plant, where he learned the skill of buying cattle.

In the fall of 1963, Grant purchased an interest in the Spanish Fork Livestock Auction. Grant owned and operated the sale barn for 43 years, where he demonstrated his pride and love for the livestock industry.

Grant was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in a bishopric of a BYU Young Adult Ward.

Survived by his daughter, Sue Winterton (Seth) of Woodland, Utah; and son, Ty (Kelly) Tingey of Salem, Utah; nine grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren. Grant was preceded in death by his wife of 58 years, Lois; daughter, Karen; parents; and his siblings: Willard Tingey (Marr), Lorin Tingey, Mavis Duke (Gordon), Genett Brueckner (Allen), and Roka Raymond (Wendell).

The reunion he had with his wife that day was probably the most joyous reunion. I will miss seeing him around town telling me every day he wanted to be with his wife. He was a great man. So sorry for your loss ❤

Sue and Ty , I am so sorry to hear of Grandpa Tingey passing. He was such a kind man who was always so much fun to visit with. I was always so happy to run into him. I know he is so happy to have his sweetheart back by his side. “A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others”. I am sure he had a very big heart”. All my love .

Taking Grant to Washington DC.
and asking him his favorite part. His reply was ‘I enjoyed riding on that dang train (metro):)
He was the best county livestock judge around the state.
Grant was the most knowledgeable man and very concerned with helping agriculture move forward. He will be missed. Happy Trails. Til we meet again.

There aren’t that many men like Grant left on this earth. He made everyone smile when he was around. I’ll miss seeing him.
