St. George, Utah – We are deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and uncle, William "Bill" Albert Fresh, who passed away April 7, 2025. Bill was born October 15, 1928, in Blackfoot, Idaho, to Albert Fresh and Marie Maurer Fresh. He married Reva Luana Clegg. They were married and sealed in the LDS Salt Lake City Temple on August 7, 1951.

Bill was born and raised in Blackfoot, Idaho. He served an honorable LDS Mission in the Southern States Mission (USA). He graduated with a bachelor's degree in business management and marketing from Brigham Young University.

He enjoyed a distinguished business career having worked in executive management positions for a Fortune 100 Company, Mobil Oil Corporation. After leaving Mobil Oil, he pursued a second business career as an entrepreneur, angel investor, and serving on corporate boards. He founded numerous high technology companies based in New Hampshire, Arizona, and Utah. He also developed the 95-acre Orem Center Business Park located in Orem, Utah. He served on the National Advisory Council of Brigham Young University Marriott School of Business.

Bill's philanthropy extended to countless individuals, the LDS Church and Brigham Young University. He was a man of exceptional generosity.

Bill served in many callings for the LDS Church which included, Bishop of the Lynnfield, MA, Ward; Stake President in Boston, MA; Stake President in Manchester, NH; and Regional Representative in New England and Kearns, Utah. He served as a Patriarch for over 30 years, having given 1,350 patriarchal blessings in Sandy, Utah and St. George, Utah. He also served for many years as a Temple Sealer in the St. George Temple.

Bill loved fishing and enjoyed taking his children and grandchildren to Alaska to fish for salmon and halibut. He had a passion for gardening. He planted vegetable gardens, flower gardens, and fruit trees everyplace he lived. He was a big BYU Cougar fan and loved making homemade ice cream.

Bill possessed a profound and scholarly understanding of the scriptures with an unwavering devotion and commitment to Jesus Christ in thought and deed. He loved the Savior with all of his heart, mind, and strength, and testified often to family, friends, and strangers of Christ's divinity.  Many people called him a "Spiritual Giant". He held a deep love for his eternal companion Luana whom he longingly missed for almost 17 years.

His children describe him as, "the most temple loving person they had ever known."
