Notable Utah deaths of 2018: From a church president to a goth to a billionaire and ‘Mr. Liquor’

There was a football coach called “The Creetch,” for the way he would pace around Brigham Young University at night.

A governor’s husband was called the “first lad.” One of the men who worked for that governor was “Mr. Liquor.”

Then there was the man known as the prophet, seer and revelator to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Dozens of other Utahns — or people with Utah connections — with titles like mayor, officer, coach, director, advocate or the reverend died in 2018 after leaving some kind of mark on the state.
