Faust was Second Counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1995 until his death, an LDS Church apostle for 29 years, and a general authority of the church for 35 years.Faust was born to George A. Faust and Amy Finlinson in Delta, Utah. As a child, he lived in this rural area. Before Faust reached high school age, his family moved to the southern part of the Salt Lake Valley. In Granite High School, he won awards for track and a letter for football. Faust attended the University of Utah, where he ran the 440-yard and mile relay. His college education was delayed twice. First, Faust went to serve as a missionary for the LDS Church in a mission in southern Brazil from 1939 to 1942. Second, during World War II, Faust served in the United States Army Air Corps and was discharged as a First Lieutenant.On April 22, 1943, Faust married Ruth Wright, whom he had met at Granite High School, in Salt Lake City. The wedding took place on a short leave during his military service, and they were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple.In 1949, at the age of 28, Faust was made a bishop in the LDS Church. He later served on a stake high council, as a stake president, and as a regional representative of the Twelve.Faust was called as an Assistant to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles on October 6, 1972 and served in that capacity until October 1, 1976. At that time, there was a reorganization of the church's general authorities and he was placed into the First Quorum of the Seventy. In 1975, Faust presided over all of South America for the church. He was there during the construction and dedication of the São Paulo Brazil Temple.Faust was accepted as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles on September 30, 1978, and was ordained an apostle on October 1, following the death of Quorum-member Delbert L. Stapley. Faust served in the Quorum until being set apart as Second Counselor in the First Presidency to Church President Gordon B. Hinckley on March 12, 1995. He remained in that position until his death on August 10, 2007. Faust, together with Hinckley and First Counselor Thomas S. Monson, constituted the longest continuous First Presidency without a personnel change in the history of the LDS Church.
