1956 ~ 2008
Kim Wolsey Gregson, a loving and fun-spirited husband, father, grandfather, brother, son and friend, peacefully passed away on June 5, 2008 after a courageous and inspiring battle with brain cancer. Kim was born January 10, 1956 in Provo (Cougartown), Utah to Gordon and Betty Gregson. He graduated from Skyline High School in 1974. He attended the University of Utah where he became the ultimate Utah Man. Go Utes! He served an honorable mission in the Georgia Atlanta Mission where he made many eternal friends. He married his sweetheart and best friend, CarolLynn Richards in the Salt Lake Temple on June 15, 1978. Together they raised six children. His family was his passion and meant the world to him. He was his children's biggest fan and supported them in everything. He was a dedicated member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints throughout his life, serving as a Bishop, youth leader, member of the Bishopric, and most recently as a member of the High Council of the Holladay Stake, among other callings. He especially loved and was loved by the youth.
Kimmer had a zest for life, contagious laugh and a smile that could make any room come to life.
