Trevor Southey (1940-2015) was born and raised in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and studied in England.  He came to the US in 1965 and received two art degrees from Brigham Young University where he later was a faculty member.  He married and raised a family in Alpine. In 1982, he came out and as a gay man redefined his life.  

In 1985, Southey relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area and ultimately was joined there by his adult children.  He moved back to Provo in 2013 because of his health — he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer a decade earlier, and Parkinson’s disease around 2010. His children, one by one, also moved back to Utah.
