January 22, 1955 — May 10, 2022
Joel Barlow Zitting was born January 22, 1955, in Murray, Utah, the second son of Allen Christensen Zitting and Laura Jean Barlow. His father died five weeks before he turned three years old. Joel passed away peacefully May 10, 2022, in St. George.
Joel graduated from Skyline High School as a Sterling Scholar in Art and Art Crafts and designed the cover for the 1973-74 yearbook. He attended Utah State University.
Joel made art his career, working in California to create his own graphic arts business and for a time designed neon signs for Disney. He entered greeting cards he had designed into a national Creative Visual Arts Competition where he won second place. He was a potter extraordinaire, as well as extremely talented in glass blowing. His many pieces of art are treasured by family members.
The kindness and generosity to Joel from his Uncle Gordon and Aunt Dorothy Zitting is sincerely appreciated.
