Chandler Rick Atkin Obituary (1997 - 2015)

Chandler Rick Atkin (Gresham) ROY - On April 11, 2015 we lost our beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew and cousin to a tragic accident. Chandler was born October 25, 1997 in Ogden, Utah to Muriel and Rick Atkin Jr. (divorced). A student at Roy High School and Two Rivers High School, Chandler was scheduled to graduate this year at the age of 17. He was residing in Roy, Utah with his mother Muriel and the love of her life, Chance Gresham, who took over the role of Father and Dad to Chandler when he was 4 years old. This union included Chasidie Atkin (Gresham), Sunni and Kacie Jo Gresham, best friends and sisters to Chandler. Besides school, Chandler was also working two jobs and still made time to hang out with his many friends. With his big blue eyes, beautiful smile and a wonderful, witty and charming personality, he was loved by many. Many of us will remember special times with Chandler when camping, or family gatherings or just hanging out in the yard with family and friends. He always had a big hug for everyone when he arrived and before he left. His passing will leave bruised and broken hearts by all that knew him and all that loved him. Chandler leaves behind grandparents Brian & Carol Dalton, Rick & Sylvia Atkin, Nancy Roberson, Lynda & Garth Huss and Jay & LeDell Gresham. He had many Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins in this large and loving family. A viewing in his honor will be held Friday, April 17, 2015 at Myers Roy Mortuary, 5865 South 1900 West from 4-6 p.m. A gathering at the Gresham family home will be held after the viewing as a memorial and remembrance of his life. His ashes will be scattered by the family at a later date. "Hey Boy! You only walked this life for a short time, but the footprints you left in my heart will lovingly last an eternity. Peace Out, Grandma (Nana). Send condolences to the family at: www.myers-mortuary.com VisitationMyers Mortuary - Roy 5865 South 1900 West Roy, UT 84067 April 17, 2015 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
