Kay loved nature and received much pleasure from photographing its beauty. He especially loved visiting the Oregon Coastline and loved the beauty of the red hills of St. George. He was very creative and enjoyed working with his hands. He spent countless hours cutting metal cans and metal objects with a torch and creating works of art. He loved spending his evenings reading books and gaining knowledge found within them.
He enjoyed serving others throughout his life. He was a dedicated husband, father, grandfather, and home teacher. He had a strong testimony and love for Jesus Christ and magnified his many church callings..
He will be missed by his family and friends.
We love you dad, until we meet again.
