Joe Ravsten

August 24, 1938 — November 7, 2014

Joe Ravsten of Clarkston, Utah died on November 7, 2014, at the age of 76 at McKay Dee Medical Center in Ogden, Utah from sepsis. Born August 24, 1938 in Clarkson to Lester and Leah Ravsten, he was the fourth of what would eventually be five sons. Joe served for two years in the Central States LDS mission, after which he graduated from Utah State University with a degree in fine arts and teaching. Following college he began a 30+ year teaching career, during most of which he taught art at North Cache Middle School. He married Katherine Wood on June 4, 1976 in the Provo, Utah Temple. They are the proud parents of Travis and Reggie Ravsten. Joe had a great love of the outdoors, especially fishing. If he wasn't at one of his favorite fishing holes, he would be telling you a story about the big one that got away, or more likely the big one he caught. He was active in the LDS church throughout his life and had a deep love of the Savior and His gospel. He was an avid reader and gospel scholar. He is survived by his wife Kathy, his sons Travis (Emily) of Thornton, CO and Reggie of Clarkston, four grandchildren, Kedzie, Ethan, Alex and Triston; his brothers, Scott, Clinton "Tip" (Lola) and Danny (Carol), all from Tremonton, UT, and many friends, cousins, nieces, nephews and in-laws. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Judd. Funeral Services will be held at the Clarkston LDS Church on Saturday, November 15, 2014 at 11 a.m. A viewing will be held at the same location the evening prior from 6-8 p.m. and the day of the service from 9:30-10:30 a.m. Interment will follow at the Clarkston City Cemetery. Funeral arrangements are being handled by Cache Valley Mortuary.
