Karl A. Quilter, the man who designed the majority of the Angel Moroni sculptures that grace the steeples of Mormon temples worldwide, died in 2013 at age 84.
Karl Quilter spent much of his life carefully and painstakingly sculpting out of clay the mold for what would eventually be cast into the golden angel perched atop The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints temples.
All but an estimated 10 or so Angel Moroni sculptures on temples worldwide are Quilter’s work.
In addition to the Moroni sculptures, he also created the large Christmas Nativity scenes that can be viewed at more than 100 Mormon churches during the holiday season.
It was in the ‘70s when he was commissioned by the LDS Church to start his most high-profile creations – the angels.
