Clinton Baugh Anderson passed away at his home in Lyman on Friday, March 20, after a short battle with cancer. Born on July 12, 1966, in Evanston, Clint led a life marked by dedicated service, deep faith, and commitment to family and community.
Clint pursued his education with focus and determination, attending Ricks College and Utah State University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. His professional career was distinguished by 17 years as a schoolteacher in Nephi, Utah, followed by 15 years teaching in Urie. He was a no-frills kind of guy who expected a lot from his students, cared about them, and influenced their lives for good.
Beyond his impactful teaching career, Clint also found joy in owning and operating the Lyman KOA Campground. He was the soft-serve ice cream king, the golf cart driver’s ed instructor, and was known as the greatest boss by numerous nieces and nephews who worked for and with him.
A devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Clint’s faith was an integral part of his life. He served a mission in Santa Rosa, California, and faithfully took on several callings within the church, including roles as a long-time executive secretary and, most recently, a high councilor.
Clint was passionate about water sports, especially water-skiing. He often took family out on his boat and was patient in teaching many nieces and nephews the tricks of the trade. He loved the adventures of traveling, beach outings and body boarding. Trips to Las Vegas and spa days were a treat for him, as well.
He stayed current with technology and liked owning all the newest gadgets. Among all of his many pursuits, Clint’s priorities remained steadfastly centered on Family, Faith, and his Kids — students, nieces and nephews.
He is survived by his father, S. Clark Anderson, and mother, Mary Alice Baugh Anderson of Lyman; his brothers, Clark and Libby Anderson of Lonetree; Craig and Jody Anderson of Sandy, Utah; Cordell and Lynette Anderson of Powell; Clair and Jennifer Anderson of Wellsville, Utah; Chad and Stephanie Anderson of Colorado Springs, Colorado; and CJ Anderson of Washington, Vermont; his sisters Christine and Dillon Feuz of Young Ward, Utah; Cara Lynn and Justin Smith of Lyman; Cheryl and Eric Andersen of Murtaugh, Idaho; and Carla and Jared Walker of Millburn; as well as 41 nieces and nephews and 51 great-nieces and great-nephews.
Clint was predeceased by his maternal and paternal grandparents and two great-nephews.
Family, friends, and community members are invited to honor and remember Clint at a viewing held at the Urie LDS Stake Center, 3815 North HWY-414, Lyman, on Friday, March 27, from 7-8:30 p.m. A second viewing will continue at the same location on Saturday, March 28, from 9-10:45 a.m., followed by a funeral service at 11 a.m. Burial will be in Lonetree.
