Obituaries Brett Williamsen December 29, 2022, our world was forever changed, as our beloved husband, father, brother, and son passed away peacefully in the arms of those who loved him most. Brett R.J. Williamsen was diagnosed in January Brett Williamsen 2022 with a rare form of Metastatic Colon Cancer, which he valiantly fought to the end. Brett was welcomed into this world November 8, 1982 by his parents Daniel and Mishelle Williamsen, his brother Danny, and sister Shannon. He was raised in Liberty, Utah by what seemed to be the village. He could always be found playing in someone else’s yard, but his favorite place to hang out was “up at the Hennessy’s” and would lovingly refer to them as his “fun family.” Not known for his grace, many of his exciting adventures would have him walking through the door with a broken body part or an urgent need for stitches. In March 2010, Brett met and fell madly in love with Debbie Babor and her daughter Nicole. From that moment, he knew they would be together forever. Three years later they welcomed daughter Zoe Isabell into their hearts. Together they became the three loves of his life. Brett’s wish, of becoming a father and husband, came to fruition in July 2014 when he and Debbie married. His heart was complete from that moment on. Brett was brilliant. An absolute creative genius who would come up with an idea or solution to a problem, and within minutes he would work up a prototype or a detailed blueprint for his final project. He was always the one you would call for your engineering and “how do I make this” questions. He held many positions with different companies over the course of his short life. “Too many to remember” he would say, but he did remember each and every person and cherished their memories together. He had a special place in his heart for his coworkers at Fresenius and the Ogden V.A. Brett’s infectious laugh, hilarious sarcasm, and constant smile came in second to his beautiful, caring heart. Whether it be his last dollar, the shirt off his back, the umbrella under his arm, or his skills at furniture moving, he was always right there wanting to help. Humanity has something to learn from him. And the learning goes on. Brett is proceeded in death by his grandparents: Jim and Bernita Williamsen and Dale and Sharon Watkins, and in-laws Enriquita and Segundino Babor. He is survived by his wife, Debbie; daughters Nicole and Zoe; Father, Daniel (Teena) Williamsen; sister, Shannon Williamsen; niece Ashton Groskreutz; sister-in-law Daisy Ann Babor; and brothers-in-law Jay Babor and Agustin Babor. Brett’s wish was to thank three special people after he passed: Dad: Thank you for calling and checking on me every day, and sometimes three and four times a day. Thank you for always being here for me and the girls. I love you. Shan: You are amazing, seriously. I don’t have the words to thank you for everything you have done for me and my family. Just know I love you from the bottom of my heart. Lance: We have been best friends for so long, I’ve lost count of the years. I just want to say thank you… For everything… Love ya man. The family would like to thank those who visited, called, texted, and messaged Brett. Every text made a difference, every call had an impact, and every visit paid gave him reasons to continue his fight. And, finally, to the IHC oncology team, especially Dr. Michael Hessenauer, thank you for the loving care and support of Brett. A celebration of life service was held January 9, 2023 at Aaron’s Mortuary, 496 24th St., Ogden, Utah. Deceased Byron Kimball Montgomery, 85, died December 28, 2022.

Gail married her sweetheart Randall Warburton January 11, 1957. Together they raised ten children—nine daughters and one son. Gail was mother to over 300 children as a foster parent. She provided a loving, safe, and warm home to all the children who came to her. She taught all of them, and us, about a loving Heavenly Father and how to communicate with him through prayer. She also set an example by the way she lived her life on a daily basis. She had a big heart and a love for all children. Gail was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for 61 Harold James Lanier September 27, 1945 ~ December 29, 2022 Harold James Lanier died from a cardiac event in his hometown of Ogden on December 29, 2022. He was born September 27, 1945, the second child Joshua Morris of hardworking parents Doris and James (known as Sam) Lanier. The family of six children lived in Weber, Davis, and Morgan counties. Working in the garden, raising animals, hunting, and fishing were essential contributions for all family member to put food on the table. An important teacher encouraged his artistic side, mentored him, and ensured he graduated from Morgan High School. He joined the Air Force during the Vietnam War era but was called home early when his father was tragically killed while working on the construction of I-15. He married Janet Hayes Shelton and had the treasured blessing of his two sons from that union. They later divorced. He married his long-time partner Pam Harrison in 1975. Harold worked a decade at Thiokol. He completed his career at Hill AFB, retiring in 2010. He was an aircraft mechanic until he moved up to the third floor as a cyber planner during the last several years. Harold’s deep passions were always for the wilderness and outdoor activities, and his dogs and other critters. He joined an archery club and achieved perfect aim at his targets. He preferred black powder hunting with a gun he built himself. He hunted and fished until his health deprived him of those cherished activities. Pam was an expert planner of adventures and exploration of the Rocky Mountains and Utah’s endlessly inspiring and breathtaking desert canyon lands. They spent many summers backpacking, hiking, and camping until eventually spoiling themselves by renting cabins or bed & breakfasts as they grew older and wanted a more comfortable place to land after exhausting all daylight in the wilderness. Their last long trip was to the Canadian Rockies, but none could ever top the 24-day dream vacation of a lifetime from Seattle by rail through British Columbia, then by ships, catamarans, bus, helicopter, planes, more trains, and car into and across Alaska until the turning back point on Kodiak Island. Every month with good weather and open dirt roads was an irresistible beckoning to explore the amazing states of Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana. Yellowstone remained a favorite destination with dozens of other adventures to discover and explore lesswell-known incredible gems of wilderness and geology with every trip creating magnificent memories. Finding remote open BLM lands or undeveloped campsite sites was the primary destination goal during their younger years. Harold almost always had at least one dog and, for several years, had a pack of five including three Great Danes. Dogs are pampered fam- years. She served faithfully in all her callings. She leaves behind a legacy of a strong testimony of the gospel, her love of her family, and her constant example of service. Everyone who knew Gail could feel her love for her Heavenly Father and her Savior, Jesus Christ. Gail is survived by her husband, Randall; her daughters Darcy (Van) Adams, Heidi Hansen, Randi (Marc) Duessler, Amy (Ken) Kvenvold, Laurie (Cliff) Miller, Jayme Morgan, Rachel (Mitch) Jones, and Jessica (James) Bateman; her son Mark (Daisy) Warburton; and her brother Caroll (Barb) Wilson. Gail was preceded in death by her daughter Wendi (Robin) Bawden and her great-grandson Bill Peterson. Gail was the proud grandmother of 47, great-grandmother of 60, and great-greatgrandmother of 1. Funeral services were held Saturday December 10 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints located at 15 North Main Street in Ivins, Utah.

Imagine the sight of Harold and Pam on an eight-mile backpacking trip into the remote Middle Fork of the Salomon River with two other equally ragtag couples and thirteen dogs. It was glorious. This love of dogs led to over a decade of volunteering every Tuesday year-round teaching the Puppy Class for the Golden Spike Dog Obedience Club. Many precious and lasting friendships came from that time with GSDOC. People also came to recognize Pam and Harold from their lasting devotion to the Kap Bros Band. A few close couple friends decided to take some Western Swing dance lessons together and then go out every Friday and Saturday night for many years to practice dancing to the fabulous music of the KBB. Gigs in Wyoming and Montana or the tiny town of Garland did not deter them from following their favorite band. A cherished network of nationwide friends unexpectedly emerged after Harold pre-ordered his 2006 Honda Ridgeline truck. The Ridgeline Owners Club forum became a daily chat party filled with enthusiastic new owners. Soon ROC truck meets were planned all around America with Pam and Harold hosting one over the Alpine Loop. Pam convinced Harold they must attend the ROC meets in Sedona, which attracted owners from as far away as Florida and Maryland. The beauty of Sedona and the fabulously run organized outings fostered many tight friendships. ROC daughter, Veronique, was “adopted” on the big caravan outing to the Grand Canyon. Some ROC friends remain cyber acquaintances but are no less intensely valued. The ROC forum conducted an incredible rescue mission when Pam’s niece, Veronica, had her car break down in Northern Mississippi while heading back to Georgia. The ROC forum was a gold mine full of good people who enriched Harold’s later years with online connections. Special thanks for years of health care to out to Dr. Grace O’Brien, Dr. Christopher Parr, and Jason Eaton, NP at the Wound Clinic. Harold is survived by his wife, Pam Harrison, Ogden; son Hayes (Régine Adams) Lanier, WA; brother Gene (Judie) Lanier, CO; sister Shirley (John) McClurg, WY; sister-inlaw Kerie Lanier, UT; grandchildren Brandon Lanier and Brianna Lairson, WA; surrogate kids Jim (Jacque) Lee, UT; and adopted ROC daughter Veronique Tonna, AZ; plus, many nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his grandparents Opal and Frank Huntsman, parents Sam and Doris Lanier, sister Janice Fretz, brothers Harlan and Jim Lanier, and, most painfully, his eldest son Travis Lanier. Harold remained proudly a heathen and labeled himself atheist. He has been cremated and because he held a strong aversion for funerals, there will be none. A Celebration of Life may be planned in the spring. Harold was deeply concerned about the degradation of our planet and the ravages of climate change. A donation in his honor to the Center for Biological Diversity would please him (biologicaldiversity.org/about/). |
