Keith Hyer Obituary
He was a junior at Logan High School and was proud to be a "Grizz" (Go Grizz). He played the bass clarinet in the school band and was an expert at Pokemon and Dragon Lore. He loved dinosaurs from the time he was a little boy and was our spider slayer at home. His smile radiated his love of life and his acceptance of all. He was finishing up his Eagle Scout paperwork and enjoyed his adventures with Scouting. He was a proud two-time member of the "Polar Bear Club" and loved anything associated with water. He loved playing practical jokes, especially scaring bishops with snakes.
AJ truly loved people and life, and was kind to everyone. He was a great older brother, son and friend. He had a testimony of prayer and of the gospel and enjoyed serving. He died on his way to the Haunted Mansion, doing a job he truly was thrilled to have and which he loved every minute of.
He is survived by his parents, Drew and Jane Hyer; his brothers, Benjamin, Edward and David; and two sisters, Marcilene (Mardi) and Elizabeth; his paternal grandparents, Keith and Kathryn Hyer; paternal great-grandparents, Merle and Benjamin Call and Edna Hyer; and his maternal grandmother, Shirley Wadford. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins who he dearly loved. He was preceded in death by his paternal great-grandfather, Frank Hyer; maternal grandparents, Phillip B. Wadford and Daisy M. Bivens Wadford; and an uncle, Oliver Wadford.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 3, 2007, at the Logan 12th Ward chapel, 940 Three Point Ave. (off of 1000 West), Logan. Friends and family may call from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at Nelson Funeral Home, 162 E. 400 North, Logan (kids come as you are after the game), and from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday at the church prior to services. Interment will be in the Logan cemetery. Condolences may be extended to the family online at www.nelsonfuneralhome.com.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Jane,
I hope you remember me. I was in the ward a short time and served in the Relief Society Presidency with Merl. I lost my own son in the Ukraine in 2007. It was so hard.No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. I know how it feels and how the days ahead are going to be. I am sorry that anyone must suffer through the loss of a child. I pray the Lord's most tender blessings on you and your family.
Love, Sister Julie Pixton (Pehrson) and family

Dear Drew and Jane,
We are so saddened by the death of your boy. My children knew and were friends of your son and say he was a wonderful and fun boy. It didn't occur to me until today that you (Drew) served with me and my wife in the Chile Osorno Mission. We remember you and our prayers go out to you, your wife and family. If there is anything we may do to help at this time, please allow us to help. I have notified many of the former missionaries from our time as to what has occured. We will be their Saturday. It is so sad to see each other once again after so many years and have it be under these circumstances. Our hearts go out to you, your wife and kids.
