Show A8 The Emery County Review, Tuesday, December 30, 2008 Tributes Erik Randall Jorgensen LOGAN - Erik Randall Jorgensen passed away in Logan, Utah on December 24, 2008, as a result of a tragic snowmobile accident. He was born June 24, 1986, in Salt Lake City, Utah, the eldest son of Randall E. and Rosemarie Obray Jorgensen of Paradise, Utah. He attended elementary and middle schools in Cache Valley, graduating from Mountain Crest High School in 2004. He was active in baseball and golf where he was awarded Academic All-State in both the sports (an award given to the top 10 high school seniors in the state). Erik was active in scouting and earned his Eagle Scout Award. He was an active member of the LDS Church, having served in various callings. His most enjoyable calling being the coach of the priests’ basketball team. Erik was currently a senior at Utah State University pursuing a career in pharmacy. Recently, he received an invitation to join the USU Chapter of the Golden Key International Honour Society representing the top 15 percent of his class. It was while attending USU he met the love of his life, Casey Leigh Murray. They were married in the Logan LDS Temple on August 9, 2008, for time and all eternity. Together, they both were working hard to finish their degrees. Being outdoors was where Erik most enjoyed being. His motto was “Gone fishing, Be back for deer hunting.” One of his most enjoyable summers was spent in Alaska working at a fish cannery with his best friend, Jesse Johnson, who was also tragically taken in the same accident. He also had the opportunity to spend a week’s vacation at Brook’s Camp, Alaska, with his father and uncle fishing and bear watching. Erik was always the last one to cast his line or take the shot making sure his younger brother or cousins got the first chance at the big ones. Hunting in the fall was something Erik looked forward to every year; it didn’t matter if Erik had the tag or not, he was always happy for the invite and excited to go along. Family was the most important part of Erik’s life, and he made sure that Casey was as much a part of his family as he was. Everyone loved being around him and Casey. He was always the person who lit up any room he walked into. Erik touched the lives of many and was a great role model for all he came in contact with. He was willing to help out whoever needed a hand--from mowing lawns and moving pipe in the summer to putting up Christmas lights and shoveling snow in the winter; Erik was always there with a smile! Erik left this life with no regrets. There is no doubt how much he loved and was loved. Our memories of him will forever fill the emptiness of his passing. Erik is survived by his wife, Casey; his parents; sister, Alexa; brother, Gregory; in-laws, Kirk and Mitzi Murray, and sisters-in-law, Nicole and Jessica Murray of Castledale, Utah. He was preceded in death by his grandfathers Howard E. Jorgensen and Wayne J. Obray. The family wishes to express their appreciation to the members of the Cache County Search and Rescue and sincere thanks to the many other fellow snowmobilers who helped on the mountain with the rescue operations. They also extend a special thank you to all the families who have been so generous with their love and support during this difficult time.

Mateo was born February 1, 2007 in Price, Utah, to James Victor Theorine II and Malia Mei Laulu and his big brother James (Kimo) Victor Theorine III. Mateo was a pillar of light to all that knew him. His beautiful smile and his golden locks of hair was just a tiny glimpse of our fun loving little boy. Mateo loved his family and his many friends, and loved to share kisses and hugs and the occasional love tap with all of them. Though very young, Mateo loved sports, any kind of balls, four-wheelers, daddy’s motorcycle, the trampoline, dancing and most of all his binky. Mateo was a very happy and energetic little boy who loved others unconditionally. He was always a comforter for those that needed comforting, and would be the first to stand up for you in a fist fight, but would always love that person better when he was done beating them up. Mateo loved to go bye-bye. He loved to get his coat and shoes on, and be the first one ready for any adventure. He was often found being curious and selfentertained, with the cutest mischievous smile that was contagious to everyone. Mateo embraced and loved the music of his cultures and would express his love by dancing. Mateo was not a little man of many words, but always knew how to express to anyone what he wanted, whether it was him pointing and grunting, or leading you right to it. Mateo was preceded in death by his papa Lafoga Laulu Jr. (Grandfather), Jack Callor (Grandfather), Anita Marie Arballo (Aunt). Mateo is survived by his mom and dad, Malia Mei Laulu and James Victor Theorine II, his brother James (Kimo) Victor Theorine III, his grandparents, Patricia Laulu, James Victor Theorine, Emma Bea Callor, Annalillia Guiterrez , his aunts and uncles, Sulika (Scott) Merrell, Juan (Ann) Theorine, Rebecca (Jason Ochoa) Laulu, Perry Laulu, his cousins, Kalani Vai Laulu, Sai’peti Epomaikaimaikeakuaokalaniikeiaohanaalii Merrell, Graciann Marie Theorine and many of his extended family and friends that love him very dearly.
