It's time to go home.

R.I.P
Taft Penney Ahlstrom
January 23 1989 - March 21 2009



Taft Penney Ahlstrom left this life on March 21, 2009 in a tragic accident. Taft was born on January 23, 1989 to Peggy Clark Ahlstrom and Daren Ahlstrom. Taft made everyday a new adventure. He was known and loved by many. He had a special spirit and a gift for humor. He made us smile. Taft could outwit, out play, outlast just about everyone. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Taft is survived by his loving mother Peggy, of Grantsville. His father and stepmother Daren and Christina of West Jordan, sister Lydia and brother Heber of Grantsville, many aunts, uncles, cousins and special friends.




Taft And Lydia Ahlstrom

Taft Ahlstrom was a good friend of mine. He loved making other people laugh, and hated to see people sad. Taft and I dated for a short while and became very close friends, unfortunatley our veiws on what we wanted out of life was different and our relationship ended. While we werent on talking terms for almost a year, the friendship we had never ceased.





I ran into Taft working as a cashier at Maceys Grocery Store in Provo about 2 months ago. While at first it was awkward and weird to see him, after not talking for so long. We instantly caught up and became friends again. Exchanged phone numbers once again and started talking like we did when we first met.




Taft was killed instantly in a head on car collision on March 21st 2009 in Tooele Utah. The driver of the car, Kendra Naisbitt, was not wearing her seatbelt correctly. Taft and the other passenger Bailey Corless, were not wearing seatbelts at all. Paramedics and police of Grantsville and Tooele say this was one of the worse car accidents they had ever seen.




Jacob White the driver of the other car, was wearing his seatbelt, and although he is in critical condition, paramedics believe he will recover just fine. Police say they believe Jacob may have fallen asleep at the wheel and hit Taft's car head on.



We all may miss Taft Ahlstrom, miss his cheerful voice and contageous laugh. His energetic and loving personality. He is on to bigger and better things. Just as his roommate and life long friend Logan Heap said in his talk at Taft's funeral "I felt you there. But I realized it was more than just a funeral. It was your mission farewell. " Taft is on a mission with God. Meeting all the amazing people that have had the opportunity to Pass on. Earthly life is just one step in God's great plan. Taft did what he was here to do, and was lucky enough to go home.



We all love and miss you Taft.
