Byron Ray Rampton, cherished husband, father and grandfather passed away December 2, 1996.
He was born November 25, 1917 in Bountiful, Utah to Llewelyn S. and Janet Campbell Rampton and married his beloved wife, Ruth Halliday on Sept. 5, 1940.
A veteran of World War II, Byron proudly served as a U.S. Army officer in the Pacific Theater and later retired as a colonel in the Army Reserve. His war-era memoir, "The War As I Saw It," was recently published. He was a former Utah State Senator, representing Davis County, and a longtime Bountiful area business owner.
Byron was forever devoted to his family. We shall miss, but always honor his strength, courage and wisdom. "But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, all loses are restored, and sorrows end."
He is survived by his wife, Ruth; children: Kathie, Kristie, Michele, Martha, Dan, and Mindy; brother, Calvin; sister, Virginia Keiser; 21 grandchildren; his daughter, Julia, predeceased him.
Funeral services will be Thursday, Dec. 5, 11 a.m., at Lindquist's Bountiful Mortuary, 727 No. 400 East, where friends may call Wednesday 6 to 8 p.m. and from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m. prior to services on Thursday.
