Roger C. Hulse Obituary (1942 - 2017)

Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away peacefully on December 15, 2017. We will be celebrating Roger’s life on Thursday, January 11th from 6-8 p.m. where friends and family may join us at Jenkins-Soffe South Valley, 1007 W. South Jordan Parkway (10600 S.), South Jordan, Utah, 84095. Roger was born in Logan, Utah on April 29, 1942, to Leland D. and Lanez H. Hulse. He spent most of his childhood there and always talked of his childhood memories and friends he had made there. His family relocated to Layton, Utah, where Roger graduated from Davis High School. It was there that he met and married Karen Farr. Together they raised their four children in Kaysville, Utah. They were later divorced. He met and married Christine Blonquist-Walker. He was a wonderful and loving father figure to her three children. Roger always had a strong work ethic. He retired from Questar Corp. (Dominion Energy) after more than 30 years of service. He also worked with Whittaker Construction for more than 10 years. Roger will be best known for his love of cars, mainly Corvettes. He acquired his dream car, a 1957 Corvette, and restored it completely. He always loved putting it in Car Shows, where he won many awards and made many friends. He also owned several other Corvettes through the years. He was a member of the Corvette Club Of Utah for many years. He was instrumental in putting together the all exclusive Corvette Car Show in Park City. He was very dedicated, and year after year it was a huge success, always bringing in car clubs from Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming and many other western states. Two places where Roger loved to spend time were Bear Lake and St. George. This is where he called home. He spent countless hours with his family and friends, making lots of memories spent in both places. Roger loved sports. He loved playing golf and was always competitive with his brother and son when they played together. He was a UTE fan, always wearing red and always going to all the home and some of the away football games through the years. Roger is survived by his wife, Christine, his four children, Shauna Shaw (Richard), Troy Hulse (Misty), Nikki Sanchez (Carlo) and Stephanie Hulse (Tony Terkelson), stepchildren; Natalie Shafer(Devin), Heather Smith (Scott), and Geoffrey Walker (Lisa). Also survived by three brothers; Ray Hulse, Darrell Hulse, and Jay Hulse, a sister-in law, Elaine Hulse and many nieces and nephews. He will be greatly missed by his 14 grandchildren and five great grandchildren. He was always so proud of their accomplishments and their biggest cheerleader at their sporting events. He is preceded in death by his parents, a brother, Boyd Hulse, and sister-in-law, Marilyn Hulse.
