Taro Yagi, beloved father, step-father, grandfather, and great-grandfather died December 13, 2007 in Brigham City. Taro was born May 25, 1918 in Ogden Utah, son of Takutaro and Riyo Mizote Yagi. He married Oleta McCullough on August 6, 1960 and has resided in Corinne and Brigham City for the past 49 years. Taro was preceded in death by Oleta on August 3, 2004. Taro worked at Thiokol Corp. for 14-1/2 years as a Quality Inspector, where he made many life-long friends. He loved to prepare his favorite Japanese dishes and treat his co-workers on a regular basis. His greatest joys in life came from his son, his step-sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was an avid fisherman and loved to bowl. He farmed in Corinne for many years and had a green thumb when it came to growing all kinds of vegetables and fruits. He kept his vegetable garden going throughout his life in Brigham City, and he made sure all his friends and family enjoyed whatever he grew. Taro had a sharp mind until the end, and remembered everyone he met throughout the years; he could always tell a good story. Taro was very giving and everybody's friend.
