Chester Maziarz

Chester “Chet” Maziarz was born outside Archangel, Russia, one of the harshest places on earth, after his family was forced to flee Poland during World War II. With the help of the Roman Catholic Church, he and his siblings were separated and sent to relatively safe havens until the war ended. Chet spent parts of his childhood in Iran, Pakistan, India, Tanzania and, finally, England before immigrating to the United States as a teenager. In a remarkable turn of fate, his entire family was eventually reunited in Chicago, where they remained close throughout his life.

In the early 1960s, Chet met Lillian Roguszczak while serving as a groomsman in a wedding. They fell in love, married, and a few years later, welcomed their son, Mark.

Chet worked at Jolly Kids Togs in Chicago before moving into finance, where he found his true calling. Early in his career, his energetic and personable style led to a unique opportunity: delivering daily stock reports on WBBM radio. The role expanded his client base and became a lasting point of connection—for years afterward, he was often asked if he was “the Chet Maziarz from the radio.”

Over the years, Chet rose through the ranks of the finance world as a salesman, manager, and executive. He had an extraordinary memory for numbers, easily recalling minute details of his clients’ investments. But what truly set him apart was his ability to connect with people. Chet listened closely to his clients’ hopes and concerns and met them with knowledge, respect, and genuine care. His calm, optimistic presence put others at ease, and many clients became lifelong friends.

In Chicago, Chet and Lillian built a vibrant life together. They were avid tennis players, gracious hosts of dinners and holiday gatherings, and active members of the Polish community. Their home was one of warmth, connection, and celebration.

A love of travel took them all over the world, often alongside their son Mark and his wife, Mary Beth. In retirement, life slowed in welcome ways: early mornings gave way to relaxed starts, tennis shifted to pickleball, and the arrival of grandchildren brought new joy. Chet and Lillian eventually moved to Utah to be closer to family.

What stands out most about Chet, however, is not simply what he did, but how he made people feel.

There was often a twinkle in his eye—sometimes from the joy of seeing you, sometimes from a small surprise he had planned or a story he was eager to share. His attention was always on people. He might not notice a new wall color, but he would immediately sense if someone was feeling down and gently offer his support.

Chet found thoughtful ways to stay connected. If he came across a newspaper article a friend might enjoy, he would clip it and mail it with a handwritten note. He gave compliments freely, celebrated others’ successes, and delighted in small moments—often punctuated by his enthusiastic “mmm mmm!” at a good meal, especially one prepared by his favorite chef, Lillian.

He had a gift for easing tension and making things better. At his son’s wedding rehearsal, when things had gone humorously off track, Chet quietly sought out a guest who happened to be a theater director and asked for help. Within minutes, order was restored and the wedding party was walking perfectly down the aisle. True to form, Chet later sent the director a generous note of thanks (and a tip).

He was playful and fully present with children, happy to do whatever they wanted—whether playing soccer, fishing, reading in a hammock, or having an imaginary tea party. He had fun, and he made things fun. Children adored him.

Chet laughed easily, loved deeply, and was quick to express appreciation for the people in his life. He supported others generously and looked for opportunities to help make their dreams possible. He was humble, kind, and made everyone feel welcome.

Even in his later years, as his health and memory declined, his kind and gentle spirit remained. He was often described simply and fittingly as a “sweetheart.”

Chet was preceded in death by his parents Julian and Maria Maziarz, his brother Jozef (Maria) Maziarz and his sisters Helena (Zygmunt) Tartik and Apolonia Maziarz. He is survived by his beloved wife, Lillian; his son, Mark (Mary Beth) Maziarz; his grandchildren, Scout and Foster. He is also survived by his sister, Krystyna (Jan) Derecki, his brother, Alfred (Barbara) Maziarz and by many loving nieces, nephews and friends .

Born in a harsh place during uncertain times, Chet created a life defined by warmth, generosity, and love. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him.

Lynn Ernest Herron

Lynn Ernest Herron, age 93, passed away peacefully on February 21st, 2026, at his home in Heber City, Utah. He was born June 20, 1932, in Pleasant Grove, Utah.

Lynn’s Father Gideon was a rancher and railroad worker and his Mother Zina, a schoolteacher. He grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah and Star Valley, Wyoming, where his family operated a dairy ranch. As the eldest of six children, he learned responsibility and the value of hard work at a very young age. Lynn was quick to share that some of his fondest life memories were from the days with the family on the ranch in Star Valley.

Lynn proudly served his country in the United States Navy during the Korean War. He was stationed in Adak, Alaska, Oahu, Hawaii, and served aboard three aircraft carriers as a communications specialist assigned to the Admiral’s ship. Lynn’s war experience spawned a lifelong interest in the history of war. The death and devastation he witnessed also cemented his strong personal conviction that all people are created equal and should be treated with kindness and respect.

While in the Navy, the family relocated to another dairy ranch in Charleston, Utah and upon returning, he joined them there. He then served an LDS mission in the Central States. He utilized the GI Bill to attend Brigham Young University, where he earned a degree in Electrical Engineering. His engineering career with IBM took him to plant sites in Los Gatos, California, Boulder, Colorado and Tucson, Arizona. Lynn closed his nearly 30-year career with IBM by transitioning into sales in Salt Lake City, marketing technology to Higher Education.

Lynn married the love of his life, Elaine Hertell Herron, and they shared 67 years of marriage. They raised six children together, with an emphasis on kindness, love, curiosity, education and fun. They enjoyed many family vacations, with camping trips having a special place. Fishing was always the main event and Lynn delighted in passing along his love of fishing to his children.

A common theme in the Herron household was music. Lynn was a self-taught guitar player, and he could sing and yodel. He and Elaine harmonized beautifully together, and they would perform for family and at church talent shows. Lynn’s passion for music was passed on to each of his children, all of whom learned to play instruments.

Lynn’s interests were many. Running, cycling, tennis, golf, and skiing all became important pastimes. He was a devoted sports fan and bled BYU Blue throughout his life. Lynn also had a lifelong fascination with flying. He first began piloting an ultralight glider in Tucson. He later fulfilled a cherished dream by earning his pilot’s license, owning airplanes and flying himself and Elaine on their travels.

Intellectually and spiritually, Lynn was a truth seeker. He devoted much of his time to learning about science, evolution, and the cosmos. His journey took him to the Eastern Religions, and he read countless books by the spiritual Guru’s around the world. He was amazed to find that although the Guru’s were from across the planet and lived in different era’s, they all shared the same message – it is really all about love and losing your ego.

In retirement, Lynn and Elaine moved back to Arizona, enjoying the beautiful, warm desert and developing many lasting friendships within their retirement community. They also took up the RV life, spending several months of each year on the road. Cruising became another favorite mode of vacationing, and they sailed to ports all over the world. Lynn was happiest on days at sea, gazing out at the endless ocean horizon. They made their final relocation to Heber City to be closer to family, bringing their journey full circle to the place where they first met.

Above all, Lynn was a man of kindness, warmth and love. He was relatively quiet, but his words mattered. He had a special gift for making others feel seen and valued. He adored his family, taking great pride in each of them and relishing the time spent together. In his final year, he was able to share his love with his great-grandson, extending his legacy.

Lynn is survived by his beloved wife, Elaine Hertell Herron; his children David (Beth Ozmun) Herron, Steve (Natalie) Herron, Julie (Kemla Siddoway) Herron, and Jennifer Herron; his grandchildren Alicia Herron, Andrea Herron, Austin (Mariah) Herron, Jackson Herron, step-grandchildren Cameron Kraus, Abigail Kraus, Nicholas Kraus, grandchildren Sage Herron, River (Kate) Herron, Kai Herron, great-grandson Charlie Herron, and many nieces and nephews, all of whom were very special to him.

Lynn is also survived by his five siblings, Kenny Herron, Carol Lawson, Stanley (Annette) Herron, Calvin (Connie) Herron, and Norma (Pat) Waller.

He was preceded in death by two sons, Kenneth Herron and Nathan Herron.

The family would like to express a special thank you to the staff of both Spring Gardens Assisted Living and Applegate Homecare and Hospice, for their compassionate care.

A celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, May 16, 2026 from 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM at the Park City Community Church at 4501 UT-224, Park City, UT 84098.

Keith Gordon Barney

Keith Gordon Barney, born September 10, 1938, to Walter Llewellyn Barney and Isabella Lynn Keith, died March 17, 2026, in South Jordan, UT from normal age-related causes.

Born in Payson, UT but was raised in Elberta, UT. Preceded in death by his parents, his sister Velia Horrocks, his wife Launa Carol Garrett, his son Todd Keith Barney, and his son Dennis Garrett Barney(Shanna, still living). He is survived by his brother Ivan Barney, his children Tami(Tim), Eric(Brenda), Stacy, Alaina(Jamie), and Anthony(Annette) and his grandchildren, Todd(Heather), Brooke(Tyler), Carly(Cody), Jason, Allison, Jordon, Bodhi(MaKenzie), Kelty, Brent(Elle), Chase, Anna(Jordan), Lauren(James), Noah, Aaron, Farrah(Parker), and Corbin.

Keith and Launa were married for eternity in the Manti Temple on June 13, 1958, and both knew they would remain sweethearts forever. Now that Keith has achieved this final mortal victory, they can begin anew on their plans for eternity.

Keith was raised as a farmer, the hard work of which he loved. His favorite horse was Fleet. His favorite dog was Cheerio, who sniffed him out from miles away when he was married and moved to a new home (where the dog had never been). He searched for good hard work all his life, preferring work over leisure. Continuously teaching the prime virtues of hard work, education and integrity; his 3 rules for success were: 1) Show up; 2) Show up on time; 3) Show up on time, ready to work.

Keith graduated High School from Payson High School. He then completed a 2-year technical degree from Utah Technical School in Provo, UT, and served in the US Army, completing basic training at Aberdeen Ordinance School in Aberdeen Maryland.

His dream was to ensure that his children had a better life than him, this was the driving force for all he did. Wanting to be sure that he could provide the best opportunities to prosper for his children, he left his beloved farm life and became a machinist in the “Big City”. This later led him to found his own contract machine shop called Advance Manufacturing Technology (AMT). This business went on to provide prosperity and opportunity for all his children and many of his grandchildren, as well as all the employees he loved very much. Keith always made sure that employees were treated fairly and generously. The business is still majority owned by his sons, Eric and Anthony.

Keith was always generous with his resources and his time, helping others even when it meant he would have to sacrifice his own comfort to do it. Even his hobbies seemed like work to anyone else, he enjoyed making things for other people in his machine shop, caring for horses, raising beef cows, restoring antique tractors to like new condition, and jigsaw puzzles. He also loved the outdoors and camping with his family. He often disappeared for days, wandering the desert in search of wild horses.

Keith was an ardent and faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Some of his notable callings include High Priest Group Leader, High Council Member, Gospel Doctrine Teacher, Stake Missionary, Temple Worker (Jordan River and Provo Temples). He also served a senior mission with his sweetheart Launa to New Jersey from 2005 to 2007.

A viewing will be held from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM at Probst Family Funerals at 79 East Main Street, Midway, UT 84049 on Saturday, March 28, 2026. Following the viewing, there will be a graveside service at 11:30 AM at the Midway City Cemetery at 600 West 500 South, Midway, UT 84049.
