Charles “Chick” Stromberg passed away at the age of 93 on July 7, 2020.

He was born on September 20, 1926 to Murray and Erna Stromberg in Grantsville, Utah. He was raised in Grantsville and graduated from high school where he was active in sports.  He loved basketball as a player and M-Men coach and was captain of the football team. After graduation, he served in Italy during World War II. He married his high school sweetheart, Beverly Jean Palmer, on February 12, 1947 and they were later sealed in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They raised four children and three Native American foster children. They received the state Maurice Warshaw foster parent award.

Chick was very civic minded and served as President of the Little League baseball program, Chief of the Fire Department, City Councilman, and eight years as a Tooele County Commissioner. He retired from the Tooele Army Depot after 33 years. His part time job was repairing and installing furnaces.

He loved to hunt, fish, and ride his four-wheeler with the family.  He built a cabin at Scofield Reservoir. He was especially proud of catching a 100-pound halibut in Alaska. He enjoyed watching his U of U Utes and was an avid fan who enjoyed the banter with rival fans.
