Note

Edwin Merkley Hacking, 64, passed away of a heart attack on May 18, 2008 in Qingdao, Shandong, China where he was teaching English at Qingdao University. His passing was sudden and a shock to all who knew him. There was no indication that he suffered as he died.

He was born on Oct. 1, 1943, in Vernal to Leo and Virginia Hacking. He served an LDS mission in Switzerland from 1962 to 1964 and obtained a degree from Brigham Young University in Sociology. He married Bonnie Evans in 1968 in the Oakland LDS Temple and went on to work as a policeman in Walnut Creek, Calif. Later he worked as a river guide in Moab, and then for the past 30 years as an insurance agent in Vernal.

His was a life of service. Edwin Hacking passed while doing what he had spent so much of his life doing, serving others. He was on his way to church to be sustained as a counselor in the stake presidency in Qingdao. Beyond those lives he touched through magnifying his church callings, his family and friends will remember his generosity of spirit and time to those around him.

He is survived by wife of 39 years, Bonnie; five children, Erika, Tralina, Layne, Bryant, Tyson and their spouses; 16 grandchildren; and sister, Tamera Lund Best.
