Carl Mohlman

Carl Glen Mohlman, 84, of Springville, Utah, passed away peacefully at home on November 26, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. He was born on February 21, 1941, to Glen Ephraim Mohlman and Florence Evalyn Carter, and later sealed for eternity to his devoted sweetheart of 60 years, Reva Pope Mohlman.

Carl’s life began in the small town of Altonah, Utah, where his family owned and operated the local store. Later the family relocated the store and their home to Altamont. Those early years working beside his parents and siblings shaped him into the hardworking, humble man we all loved.

Carl served as student body president his senior year and graduated from Altamont High School in 1959. He received a $1,000 scholarship, which he used to attend barber school at Salt Lake Trade Tech. This learned skill helped support him in those early years.

After attending BYU for a time, Carl felt the call to serve the Lord. He submitted his mission papers and was called to the Canadian Mission in Toronto Ontario Canada, which also included upstate New York. At the MTC in Salt Lake City, Carl was set apart as a missionary by Elder Spencer W. Kimball, and upon arrival in Toronto was welcomed by his mission president, Thomas S. Monson. Carl loved his mission. His experiences left lasting spiritual impressions on his life and a gratitude for the testimony he gained.

When he returned home, Carl continued barbering and even purchased barbershop equipment on a loan, running his own small business out of the Frontier Motel in Roosevelt. Higher education being a priority, Carl soon reapplied to BYU. All things aligned for his good and an opportunity allowed him to sell his barbershop equipment for the same price he purchased it for, opening the door for him to return to Provo. There, he continued barbering, helping at the family store on weekends, and working tirelessly to support his goals.

Everything changed in December 1964, when he met his future wife, Reva Pope. Their connection was instant and they began spending time together. Their courtship was full of hot fudge sundaes, concerts and outings. They quickly fell in love and in March of 1965 Carl proposed. On August 20, 1965, they were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple by his mission president, Thomas S. Monson. They left their wedding reception in Vernal driving Reva’s ’62 Chevy Corvair, full of hope and love. Together, they built a life anchored in devotion, kindness, and family.

Carl graduated from BYU in 1967 with a degree in Business Management and went on to enjoy a fulfilling career. He was dependable in his work and always displayed impeccable integrity in every job position he held.

Carl had a deep love for family and gathering. He especially enjoyed reunions with cousins and attending the temple. The temple was a place of peace and purpose for him, and he cherished the time he spent serving in the Provo City Center Temple. Throughout his life, he accepted callings in the Church with humility and faith, always willing to serve where he was needed.

Carl’s greatest joy was his family. He is survived by his beloved wife, Reva, and their seven children:

Dale (Katherine Woodland), Wendy (Sean McCarthy), Russell (Leslie Sherman), Jennifer (Hyrum Knapp), Lisa (Christopher Knapp), Steven (Sharese Howells), and Kevin (Gillian Clark).

Together, Carl and Reva have been blessed with 29 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren, who loved their grandpa deeply and will forever carry his gentle strength in their hearts.

He is also survived by his siblings Lynda (Dean) McArthur and Scott (Cathy) Mohlman, and preceded in death by his brother Grant (Mary Jane) Mohlman.

Carl’s legacy is one of quiet goodness. He lived simply, loved deeply, and served faithfully. His life was a testament of devotion to his sweetheart, to his family, to his faith, and to the principles he held dear. Those who knew him will remember his grit for being a three time cancer survivor and never succumbing to health challenges. He never complained about anything. He always found joy in Saturday morning sourdough pancakes with family and his ability to cook anything without a recipe.

His presence will be profoundly missed, but his influence will continue in the lives of all who were blessed to know him.

Funeral services will be held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Springville Heritage building on Thursday, December 4th at 1:00 p.m. 1785 E. 400 S. Springville, UT 84663

A public viewing will be held from 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. before the funeral service.
