Dear Sister Layton and Family,
As the youngest daughter of Henry and Grace Ann Nygaard, My sisters and I have been touched by many wonderful families. The Layton family is one of them. We were all so saddened by the passing of this great man and also the recent loss of Brian. We have gone down memory lane and have many wonderful memories with your family in it. I will never forget seeing Alan in the Salt Lake Temple not too long ago and his joy in telling me about the building of the Jordon River Temple. I found my first tithing slip for $1.60 to go towards the building of that temple. I loved taking piano from Janet and always enjoying driving by and looking at your beautiful yard. I still do drive bys in the neighborhood and would love to move back to my childhood neighborhood. We were all so blessed and are better people by who we associated with. And we will see Alan one day again and go down memory lane, Like our family often does. My parents have such a love for the Laytons and were so sorry to not be able to come down to Salt Lake. Gretchen and Mark Durham have moved back and are living at my parents. My dad had a fall in Vermont in a hotel over conference weekend and has a hard time standing for very long. We Love You All so much and know of the positive influence you have had on our family. We Thank you and remember you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.
Much Love, Julie Nygaard Johnston

Dear Mona and family,
We are so sorry for your loss and the loss that all of us in community feel at Alan's passing. My memories go back to the time when the stake park was being built and the leadership that was shown in it's planning and completion. Over the years we have watched from a far as your husband and father led out in areas that effected the stake, the Boy Scouts and the community. We would see him in the temple as a sealer. What an example he has been to all in our community. WSe know that he is busy with his new assignments in the spirit world and will be waiting to embrace all of you at the right time.
Love Doug and Cheryl Fisher.

Dear Layton Family,
My family and I wish to express our heartfelt sympathies for the passing of Alan Layton. In my time as an employee of Layton Construction I did not have the opportunity to meet Alan in person, however I have witnessed his legacy of integrity through his sons and the great organization that he founded so many years ago. Layton Construction is not just a place of employment.......it embodies the values of honest, hard work and provides a venue for personal development and achievement. His presence will continue to touch and influence peoples lives in this way indefinitely!

Dear Alan William Layton Family,
We join you in you sorrow at the passing of your dear father, Alan William Layton. We pray for your comfort in his departure and are assured that you will all reunite in love as a family. The resurrection is certain and his love for you is eternal. His exemplary life remains as a blessing and a guide. I am grateful for the association I have had with him over the years. His kindness will always be remembered.
Alan, you and Leslie are great examples for us. Bonnie and I are thankful for the many kindnesses you have extended to us and are pleased at the service you continue to render to the Lord as you lead the work at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple.
May the Spirit of the Lord bless you all with the peace that "passeth all understanding."
With Love,
Rex and Bonnie Pinegar

Alan Layton, to me was always an outstanding example of professional integrity, honesty and devoted service in the Church. In the Valley View Stake he was an inspired leader of many useful endeavors. At the Salt Lake Temple, we often chatted in the locker room, when we both served as Sealers.
Most noteworthy is when as an architect he had bid on a school project and was the low bidder. The Nebo School Board decided that they could afford and would accept another bidder who had bid an alternate that made them slightly lower. Alan, gracefully withdrew the bid of Layton Construction to help a fellow Stake Member. He was a true Christian gentleman.

May the Lord always bless Mona and his family!

Dear Family:
I want to express my sincere feelings of love for Alan. As I served with him in the Stake Mission Presidency I came to respect and honor a true servant of the Lord, whose only desire was to see that His work was carried out to the best of our abilities. May you find peace and contentment in knowing that Alan continues to serve the Lord.

Bother Layton was a close friend to my father, Ned Winder. A number of years ago he came out to the farm to get some compost. I jumped on the tractor and loaded the compost into his pickup truck. He said, "Kent, this compost is like the Gospel, it doesn't do any good unless you spread it around." :) He was a great man and raised a good family. He will be missed.

We just learned of Uncle Alan's passing. I have a lot of memories. He hired me to work for his company while I was going to school. He held the Layton camp outs for many years. My first memory as a very young child was going with my parents to Alan and Mona's wedding reception. Then there were the family picnics and so many other memories. He will receive many rewards for how he has lived.

When Den told me Mr. Layton had passed away it was hard to hear. He was a very kind person and we have great memories of him. We will miss him and wish all his family comfort at this time.

Uncle Alan will always have a special place in my heart. My husband and I were so honored to have him seal us as eternal partners in the Salt Lake Temple 7 years ago next month. I have always looked up to him and looked forward to seeing his wonderful smile and glint in his eye. I know that my Dad looked up to him as well along with the rest of our family. I feel honored to be part of such a great family.

Mr. Layton was part of the greatest generation. As a Artillery Battery Commander in WWII he landed on Utah Beach & later participated in the battle of the bulge. He was the recipient of the Purple Heart for wounds received in Germany.He & His generation set millions of Europeans free. I doubt that the world will see the likes of these men again.To the layton family we are sorry for the loss of such a fine man.He will always be one of our hero's!

He was a great man who raised me to be who I am today. Feeling of his strong testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and his wisdom, I feel very fortunate and blessed to have known him. Alan and Mona cared and loved me as their own child. I know that our son Jonathan welcome him with open arms and had a very nice reunion. Jonathan looked up to his Grandpa Layton. Howard Dee

Dear Layton Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. What a joy it is to be friends with you. Brother and Sis Layton were always kind to the Snow family. Our Richard met with Brother Layton and compiled a report about his life and his experiences during the war. We have learned from your examples and thank you both for the love shown to our family through the years we lived in the neighborhood. May you know how much we love you and your family. Thanks for the memories..
