Hoyt W. Brewster Jr.

There is so much more to this man than I ever knew when I worked with him at McDonald´s on State Street in SLC. I enjoyed being around him and working with him. Had he ever revealed what he knew, I would have wanted to spend more time listening to him. Sorry to see that he has passed.

I´ll never forget at a meeting before a preparedness fair, I believe it was, he told both members of the Church, and our non-member neighbors that a religion that cannot save people temporally, cannot save them spiritually....in those or similar words. I was impressed that he had the courage to let everyone there know that!! I am also impressed that he authored books that are sold at Deseret Book, and one thin one that I bought up at our Utah State Capitol building. I think he worked for...

So grateful and blessed to have had this man part of our lives for over 50 years. We have learned, laughed and loved together. Ferris and Lynda Shaw

As a missionary, in the NAM mission, I learned and will remember many things from president Brewster. Some lessons I will take with me are Jacob 6:12 - o be wise what can I say more?, Read the book of Mormon at least 15 minutes a day every day for the rest of your life, do what´s right always without question or complaint. I remember being in a multi stake meeting when the speakers before president Brewster had gone quite long. There was a speaker going after him and he didn´t want to take...

The heading of Hoyt's obituary is so descriptive of him. He was a disciple of Christ. Judy, your goodness is also reflected in it. You're a remarkable team as you have supported and sustained each other. We remember our days at USC. With tender thoughts and love, Michael & Maria Moody

All through high school, college and mission days, Hoyt was a dear friend of my husband, Stuart Poelman. Stuart enjoyed and admired Hoyt always. I was grateful to become more acquainted with Hoyt in college when he and Stuart were Sigma Chi's and when he married Judy. Hoyt also served as a groomsman at our wedding. Stuart and I were privileged to visit Hoyt and Judy when they served as Mission President and were delighted in renewing friendship as both Hoyt and Stuart exchanged memories of...

I have loved and enjoyed Hoyt in the salon. Judy and I have became close friends as I have the opportunity to be her hairstylist for years. Getting to know smiling, caring Hoyt and hearing his stories always made my day happy and warm. Rest with peace Hoyt.

I had the privilege of serving on the Church's gospel doctrine curriculum writing committee from 1979 to 1984. Hoyt Brewster was our supervisor, and he often came to our committee meetings and provided wonderful counsel. I was also in seminaries and institutes. We admired Hoyt's scholarship and teaching finesse. He was a great servant in the quiver of the Almighty. May his posterity rise up and call him blessed.

Judy, you may not remember me, but I´m a former teaching colleague. I´ve always thought highly of you, and I just want you to know that my heart is with you. Your husband was one of my Institute teachers at the U. He was great! May you feel peace and comfort during this difficult time. I´m sending you love and hugs.
