George Harvey Schick

August 30, 1934 – December 5, 2024

With deep love and sadness, we announce the passing of George Harvey Schick, who peacefully left this world on December 5, 2024, at the age of 90. George was a beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend to all who knew him.

Born on August 30, 1934, in Kaysville, Utah, George grew up with a profound appreciation for family, hard work, and service. On September 1, 1967, he married the love of his life, Lindalee Dalley, in the Salt Lake Temple, and together they built a life in Kaysville before settling in Fruit Heights. Their life was filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories with their three children.

George was known for his larger-than-life personality, his passion for family stories and history, and his lifelong love of learning and travel. He especially loved hosting family gatherings, creating a welcoming space where generations could come together. George often shared the lessons he learned throughout his life, hoping to make the path easier for those who followed.

He achieved remarkable accomplishments during his 37-year career at Thiokol, working as a rocket scientist on the Space Shuttle Program while also managing the family farm in Kaysville. Among his most notable achievements were serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Western United States, his service in the U.S. Army National Guard, and receiving prestigious awards and recognition for his vital work on the solid rocket boosters for the Space Shuttle Program.

George is survived by his sisters, Dorothy Obray, Susie Zobell, and Mary Evans; his children, Kyle (Michelle), Greg (Tammy), and Shauna Sabey (Clark); seven grandchildren; and one great-granddaughter (with twin great-grandchildren on the way). He is preceded in death by his loving wife, Lindalee, his brothers, Sterling Schick and Seth Schick; and his sisters, Alice Rietz, Ruth Cloward, and Kay Moore.

Funeral Services will be held Friday December 13, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. at Fruit Heights 6th Ward Chapel located at 77 South Orchard Dr, Fruit Heights, Utah. Friends may visit with family prior to services from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the Church. 

Interment will take place at the Kaysville Cemetery.

The family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to all who have offered support and love during this time.
