      J. Bevan Ott passed away on March 27, 2015, due to complications from a stroke and pneumonia. Bevan was born July 21, 1934, in Cedar City, Utah to James Alvin and Virginia Spencer Ott. He grew up and graduated from Dixie High School (St. George, Utah), completed undergraduate studies at both Dixie Junior College (St. George, Utah) and Brigham Young University (Provo, Utah); received a Masters' of Science degree from Brigham Young University, and a Doctorate from the University of California at Berkeley (CA).
