BRETT WILLIAM THOMPSON 98'   32, passed away July 9, 2007 in Tijeras, New Mexico from a heart attack brought on by complications from his cancer treatment.  He was born March 17, 1975 in Bountiful, Utah to Brad William and Dorothy Kjerstine Busk Thompson.  He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served a mission to the Canada-Halifax Mission,  1994 to 1996. He married Terri Lynn Demeyere on June 14, 1997 in the Manti Temple.  Brett attended schools in Richfield, graduating from Richfield High School in 1993. He was an Eagle Scout. He loved the game of baseball, often hitting home runs. Nothing felt better to him than hitting one over the fence. While attending Utah State University, he was a member of the baseball team for two years, playing first base.  He received is bachelors and masters degrees in Fisheries Biology, receiving the Fisheries and Wildlife Emeritus Faculty Scholarship in 1998.  He received his MS degree in Fisheries Management from Utah State University in 2003 completing his thesis on the feeding and habitat selection of three endemic whitefishes in Bear Lake.   He enjoyed his career with the U.S. Forest Service, initially working in the Ashley National Forest in the Uintah Mountains. At the time of his passing, he worked for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Albuquerque, N.M.

He loved spending time at the family farm in Scipio. He helped his grandfather, William Thompson, with the many responsibilities of farming and ranching. It was a dream of Brett's to someday return to Scipio.  Brett loved learning and had great mechanical aptitude; he could fix anything. He loved fishing and hunting and spent as much time as he could in nature. His chosen career gave him the opportunity to be frequently in the environment he so enjoyed. He was his family's hero, admired for his courage during cancer treatment and his determination in getting his education Two of his favorite words were unbelievable and prodigious, words that described so many of his life experiences.  We all will miss Brett's enthusiasm for natural resources and his optimistic demeanor.   Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Terri and his two young daughters, Sariah and Brielle.
