I was so blessed to have this man in my life. They do not get any better than him. As hard as Wednesday was it was so nice to be able to see peace on his face again.
Clint A. Jepperson
Clint A. Jepperson (36) passed away Wednesday February 16, 2011 surrounded by his family, after a valiant and courageous battle with acute myeloid leukemia.Clint was born October 30, 1974 in American Fork to Dennis and Kathryn Jepperson. He graduated from American Fork High School. Clint is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and served as a missionary in the Michigan Detroit Mission. He has such an amazing testimony and was a great example to all who knew him.
Clint married Amy Dorton and they were sealed in the Mt. Timpanogos LDS Temple for time and all eternity. They have three boys, Nik, Nate & Noah, who are all ‘Daddy’s Little Boys’. He is the best husband and father anyone could ask for. Clint loved to be outdoors. He loved snowmobiling, jeeping, golfing, camping, and anything else he could do with his family outdoors. He even had a job that allowed him to be outside as an owner of a landscape company.
Clint is survived by his wife Amy; sons Nikolas (7), Nathan (7), and Noah (5); parents Dennis and Kathryn Jepperson; sisters and brothers Gwenna (Michael) Terry, Darren (Denise) Jepperson, Kent (Kim) Jepperson, Greg (Jill) Jepperson, Camarie (Jeffrey) Brinkerhoff; and many other close family and friends.

A special thanks to all of the Dr’s, PA’s, nurses, CNA’s and everyone else up on East 8 at LDS Hospital. Especially the best transplant coordinator ever, LaDee. Thanks for making this journey a little easier. Also thanks to all of you who have helped us through the last 10 months, the thoughts and prayers were truly felt.
We’ll see ya soon sweetie! Love you!

What an amazing relationship the two of you had! Some people go their whole lives without ever knowing that kind of love. Clint never stopped fighting to live, and you always fought like hell advocating for him, and because of that, you had so much more time together than anybody thought you would. Although he leaves his physical body behind, I know that he will always be with you, watching over you and your beautiful boys. You have shown such amazing courage and grace throughout this whole ordeal...you inspire me. Love you. Please let me know if I can do anything to help out.
Amy - I'm so sorry. So so sorry. I didn't know him, but he sounded like a wonderful man. I am here if you need anything. Email me or call me anytime! vondeech at gmail dot com.
Amy,
I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you. I know I've never met your family, but everything you've gone through reminds me closely of what I did. Your blog has been so great to read and feel your faith through all this. Although I can imagine a lot of what you are going through, I know I can't know everything you are feeling. It really sounds like you have a great support system, but if you ever need anything outside that, I'm very willing and close by. mleefaye @gmail (and I have two boys that love new friends and talking about their dad).

I haven't seen Clint since high school but was glad to reconnect with him on facebook. I have followed your blog since he was diagnosed and though you and I have not met, you and your family have been in my thoughts frequently. You have displayed amazing courage through all this. I wish you and your darling boys well as you move forward with your lives. We know Clint is at peace, and wish the same for you. Sincerely, Kristin Sowby Hilman (American Fork High School class of 93)
I went to high school with Clint (and I used to dance ballet with your sister, Jenny). I have followed your blog and been inspired by your faith. I am truly sorry for your loss.
Amy, what an amazing strong person you are. It was an honor to be with you all the night of Clint's passing. Clint was honestly one of the sweetest, most genuine people I knew. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time and that I truly admire your strength, faith, and courage through this very hard trial. I am so grateful for the knowledge we have that you and Clint are an eternal family!! Thinking of you and HUGS to you all!
The words of the song from Lady Antebellum w/ Jim Brickman
Never Alone
May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when it's time to go home
May you always have plenty
Your glass never empty
Know in your belly
You're never alone
May your tears come from laughing
You find friends worth having
With every year passing
They mean more than gold
May you win but stay humble
Smile more than grumble
And know when you stumble
You're never alone
Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone
Well, I have to be honest
As much as I want it
I'm not gonna promise the cold winds won't blow
So when hard times have found you
And your fear surround you
Wrap my love around you
You're never alone
Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone
May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when it's time to go home
And when hard times have found you
And your fear surround you
Wrap my love around you
You're never alone
Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone
