Simon Nad Puzey passed away one month ago, I noted his passing at that time, not realizing I was coming up on his family so soon. Reading the comments shared in the on-line condolences I know Nad was much admired, deeply respected. I see also his respect for his heritage. Nad was a worker in industry and in artisan creation. Having owned construction and plastering companies he was known around the Salt Lake valley. His obituary also tells of lapidary skills that afforded him the opportunities to go around the state rock-hounding and being involved with organizations promoting this art and interest. Perhaps most, Nad was rancher and horseman. It seems that, like my own brother it was tied to a deep reverence for the Western "Cowboy Way" of carrying oneself, treating others, and caring for the land one stands on. Nad married Darlene Burt and they were parents to 8 children. They later divorced and Nad married Gwen Roundy. Nad's children are Nadalee (deceased) Noble, Holly Simmons, Rudy Puzey, Ted Puzey, Ned Puzey, Cindie McCann, Lori Cannon, and Linnie Spor.
