Obituary for Dana Edward Orgill
Dana Edward Orgill
1949-2018
Gardnerville, NV-On July 10, 2018 Dana Edward Orgill lost his fight from injuries he sustained from a motorcycle accident. Dana was born January 14, 1949 in Murray, Utah to Ralph N. and Pearl Blair Orgill. He grew up in McGill, Nevada and graduated from White Pine County High School in Ely, Nevada in 1967. He graduated from Westminster College in 1973 with a degree in History and Political Science. In 1978 he joined the Salt Lake City Police Department. During his time with the police department, he held many positions including those in leadership. His favorite was being a member of the motor squad. He also graduated from the FBI national academy on June 19, 1998 as a member of the 193rd session. He helped form the domestic violence unit and traveled state wide teaching the law to many other agencies. He also loved working with the bicycle squad which he served on during the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics. He also served in the community affairs division where he met his wife, Alicia. He retired as a Lieutenant on February 15, 2005 after 26 years of serving with honesty, dignity and integrity.
Dana enjoyed reading, taking jeep safari trips to Moab, golfing, riding his motorcycle and working on staying in shape. Music was also another one of his loves; he had an extensive collection. He also enjoyed watching British mysteries and comedies. Dana could pull one of many one liners from the comedy movies he enjoyed. Above all else Dana loved his family and held dear the time he could spend with his wife, kids and grandkids.
Dana is survived by his wife Alicia Trujillo-Orgill, his step-son Mark Roberts, step-daughters, Molly Hansen, Marlow St. Cloud Primack and granddaughter Amber Alisha Hansen. He is also survived by daughter Megan Orgill-Brimhall and husband Scott Brimhall and their children Jarynn Carmen and Boston Hatch Brimhall, Hannah Kay Michaelson, Dallin Kim Michaelson and Payton Dana Brimhall and daughter Shannon Orgill-Ludvigson and husband Josh Ludvigson. Dana was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Gordon and his sister Shelley.
A private family service will be held in Gardnerville, Nevada. A celebration of Dana’s life and service will be held by the Salt Lake City Police Department July 19, 2018 from 12pm-5pm at the McDonnell Douglas Training Center, 1040 West 700 South, SLC, 84104. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Diabetes Association, 2451 Crystal Drive, Suite 900 Arlington, VA 22202.
