Don Ash Ballard

1927 ~ 2016

Don Ballard was born on February 18, 1927 in Salt Lake City, UT. He was raised by his Grandpa and Grandma Ash who cherished him. Don passed peacefully in his sleep, early Saturday, February 20, 2016.

Don was a tender, compassionate, generous man who loved his wife, Teddi, fiercely. He was so sweet; he did not have an angry bone in his body. Don graduated from South High School at 17 years of age and left to protect his country as a proud member of the US Navy. Later he focused on building a family and being the friendliest salesman you had the pleasure of knowing. He is survived by his wife Teddi Ballard, son Brad (Michelle), daughter Nancy (John), son Michael, daughter Laurie (Kevin), and eleven grandchildren. Although we yearn for his presence, we look forward to dancing with him in heaven.
