Bjorn Millom

Bjorn Millom
3/25/1946 ~ 3/3/2012
Bjorn Millom, beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend, passed away suddenly Saturday morning, March 3, 2012, in the arms of his wife and sweetheart, Margaret.
His wit and amazing intellect, generous nature and renaissance talents, will be missed by all whose lives were touched by him, but mostly his loving family. Jeg elsker deg min elskede evig.
Bjorn was born in Oslo, Norway to Stian Millom and Inger Helene Edvartzen on March 25, 1946. They immigrated to the USA to Utah on June 4, 1948.
His parents divorced and his mother later married Glen Forgie, who adopted Bjorn and changed his name to Harold Edward Forgie. Later in life he took back his birth name. He attended Hillcrest High School and the University of Utah where he graduated with double majors in English and Broadcast Journalism. In his teens, he filled a mission to his native Norway and served as a lieutenant in the Marine Corps. Following his honorable discharge he returned to Utah where he pursued several careers including local news reporter. It was his work as a successful stockbroker that led to his founding of The Millom Group and co-creator of the popular referral workshop, Smart Referrals. He was a man of tireless energy and enthusiasm for physical activities and the outdoors, including completion of a triathlon in Hawaii. But his greatest passion in life was his family and his pursuit of art.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Inger Helene Edvartzen Forgie; his adopted father, Glen E. Forgie; his brother, Dustin Travis Forgie; a stillborn daughter, Vanessa Forgie; and his devoted dog, Max.
He is survived by his wife, Margaret Allen Millom; and his children, Derek Hartley, Peekskill NY; Jacqueline Jarrett (Brian), Bountiful, UT; Tiffany White (Josh), LA, CA; Rachel Reid (Rob), Pleasant Grove, UT; Jacob Kocherhans (Melinda), Albuquerque, NM; Rebekah Kocherhans-Dyer (Sam Espinosa, fiancé), Murray, UT; Adam Leif Erik Forgie, Orem UT; Emily Kocherhans (Joseph Morales, partner), Murray, UT; Alyssa Naley, Austin, TX; Ruth Sorenson, Murray, UT; Sarah Kocherhans, Murray, UT; Zachary Bjorn Millom, Salt Lake City, UT; and 20 grandchildren; his brother, G. John Forgie (Mary), Cedar City UT; sister, Nannette Wilde (Kim), Cedar Park, TX; uncle, Paul Edvartzen, Falls City, WA; and uncle, Frank Millom, Oslo, Norway; and numerous cousins and nieces and nephews.
He was previously married to Tracy Hartley, Kathy Harr, and Lily Ramphal.
Memorial services will be held in his honor at Goff Mortuary, 8090 S. State St., Midvale, Utah, Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at 2 p.m., and Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at 10 a.m. at the Murray 28th Ward, 932 West Greenoaks Dr., Murray, Utah.
