"Skip" Floyd Joseph DeWitt known to most as Skip, lost the battle to Liver Disease Tuesday, March 8, 2016. Skip was born September 5, 1961 to Jolene and Terry Dyer. Grandpa and Grandma Hulstrom helped Jolene raise Skip for three years. Skip and his mother moved to Indiana where they became a family and LeRoy adopted Skip when he was 3. Skip was involved in and enjoyed Church Clubs, Boy Scouts and love the game of baseball as a young boy in Indiana. He lived up to his family position as "oldest" and "big brother". Skip often cared for his younger siblings especially his sisters. There are many memories of Skip tormenting and teasing all in the name of Fun. Jolene, Skip and his siblings moved back to Salt Lake City, Utah in April 1975. Skip was a teenager that lived for the "fun in life" which carried over in to his adult life. Skip met and married Michelle Francis. They had a daughter together named Erica Lynn, later divorced. To quote Michelle recently "Skip lived a fun life like Frank Sinatra, Skip did it his way and will always be in my heart". There were other loves in Skip's life but he spent the longest amount of time of his life with Margo Sterzer (Mert). They also had a daughter together named Charlene Ann (Charli). Skip also loved Margo's children: Jeremy, Jennifer and Shanna. Skip lived his life to the fullest always in search for "fun and excitement". Skip loved the "party" but at some point the party stopped loving him. Skip had a good heart and somehow lost his way along the way. He will be missed dearly and will forever be in our hearts.
