Class of 1973

Keith Turner Volkmann (Kim Earnest Derbidge) ended his two year battle with cancer in Sandy, UT on July 10, 2013 at the age of 58. He was born June 19, 1955 to Donna May Turner and would become part of a wonderful blended family parented by Lawrence and Linda Derbidge. He spent his early childhood and teenage years in Cedar City where he excelled in music and theatre. Keith pleased many audiences with his beautiful voice as a member of the Eleanor Kennard Chorale along with many other choruses. He loved hiking and fishing and earned his Eagle Scout Award with three palms by age 14; he was also a member of the Order of the Arrow. Keith was an aficionado of fine dining and was an excellent cook. He loved his family, loved all of his nieces and nephews deeply and was honored to be seen as The big brother by his siblings. Keith cherished his children more than anything and found the most joy in their success.

Keith is survived by his two sons Brian (Jennilyn) and Allen Derbidge, his father, Lawrence (Linda) Derbidge and his siblings Blake (Jamie) Derbidge, Scott (Linda) Derbidge, Michael (Janene) Derbidge, Robert Derbidge, Cathy (Don) Sadler, Jeff (Kim) Derbidge, Cheri (Dell) Chryst, and Linda (Marc) McPharlin, along with many beloved aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews in the Derbidge and Turner families.
