High School Sweethearts: Tim Cannon and Melanie Wood Cannon


In 2002, Tim joined the U.S. Army. After serving in German he was deployed to Baghdad, Iraq for 15 months. He separated from the Army in 2005 and has been living in Utah ever since. While in the Army, Tim recieved training as a Diesel Mechanic. He worked for FedEx as a mechanic since 2005, but has recently gone back to school for Computer Science and Video Game Development.

Tim enjoys playing Video Games, among other things, and is an avid Firearm enthusiast, Military history enthusiast, and is SLOWLY working on restoring his 1984 Ford F-250.

Due to a traumatic brain injury as a result of a roadside bomb, Tim's favorite memory from BHS (that he can remember) would have to be Bengal Vision his senior year.

Melanie married her high school sweetheart, Tim Cannon, in March of 2002. Melanie is a stay at home mommy to their two kids, Maggie-Elizabeth, 5, (a spitting image of her father) and James Thomas, 3, who they think might be from another world. She loves every minute of it. She said, "I really have no clue how I got here, all I know is I was crazy for this tall skinny kid, asked him to marry me, and he said yes." They also have a dog (who is really like their third child) "Frankfurt" and a very porky guinea pig "Squeeks". They live in Clearfield, UT, but will be moving back to the Salt Lake Valley in March of this year.

In her spare time, Melanie loves to write, read, play around with photography, and learn anything new. Both of them agree that getting married was the most memorable and significant thing that has happened to them since high school, along with the birth of their two children. Melanie also enjoyed living in Germany, and says giving birth in a German hospital is an experience she'll never forget!
