Myron Hampton Stone

Myron "Mike" Hampton Stone, 73, of Graham, Washington, graduated from mortality on July 23, 2019, after his body succumbed to autoimmune liver disease. Mike was born in Napa, California, on May 14, 1946, to Newell Elbert Stone and Lois Ferne Walker Stone.
Mike was raised on a 160-acre dairy farm where he learned the value of hard work. Mike received a full ride track scholarship to Brigham Young University as a distance runner. He was able to tour Europe with the BYU track team in 1968 where he set a 2 mile PR of 8:50 in Stockholm, Sweden. Mike still holds the two-mile record (9:18) at Lower Lake High School in Lower Lake, California.
While at BYU Mike met and married his sweetheart and love of his life, Darleen Sabin Stone. Mike and Darleen were married on October 29, 1969. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Provo Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on December 15, 1990. Mike was so looking forward to celebrating his 50th wedding anniversary in October. Even though they will have to celebrate their 50th anniversary from both sides of the veil, their marriage is eternal and they will have countless anniversaries together throughout eternity.
Mike valued family above all else. This is evident by the way he lived his life. Mike was loved by all who knew him. He treated everyone as though they were his best friend.
Mike was called upon to serve Uncle Sam in Vietnam. He served in the 101st Airborne Division Screaming Eagles. He served his country courageously and is a true hero.
Mike was an expert welder and worked for many years at Geneva Steel in Orem, Utah.
Before and after work Mike would often be found running the foothills with his children. Mike was an avid collector. He collected antique cars, metal lunch boxes, gas pumps, Elvis records, and anything automotive related.
Mike is survived by his wife, Darleen; children, Tammy Stone, Lisa (Rex) Hamblin, Juliet (Aaron) Gerry, Michael A. Stone, and daughter-in-law, Derrinda Stone; 13 grandchildren, and one great grandchild on the way. He is also survived by his siblings, Ron (Alice) Stone, Linda Stone, and Tim (Jeanne) Stone.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, July 26, 2019, with a viewing at 9:30 a.m. at the Graham Washington Stake Center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints located at 13612 224th St E,

It was a sad day when Ron informed me of your passing. You were an amazing individual who had a great heart I remember the time my parents came up for my graduation and you gave up your bed for them. You did not have to do that but you did and it was greatly appreciated by them. Memories are precious and you and Ron gave Roman and I a lot. We talk a lot about the Stone boys and the fun times that we had. Roman mentioned the time BYU came up to Wyoming for the conference championships and the fun he had with you. We won't go into details but it sure was fun and he could not believe how well you did the next day. I was truely blessed to have known the two of you. You guys are precious and will never be forgotten.Till we meet again.

Dear Mike, I have missed you each and every day. It is so hard to comprehend in a few days you have been gone one year! One day I hope to be with you again so we can talk about our childhood on Willow Brook Farm. You and I have created a strong friendship on this earth. We had so much fun running together at home and in college. We were roommates at home and in college and that developed that strong bond we shared! I remember that early evening we were running on High Valley Road. It was getting too dark to be on the road and a car came toward us at high speed, you pulled me off the road or I wouldn't be here today. Thank God for your quick reflexes. Mike, I love and miss you and talk to you each day and feel like you are with me!

Loved reading this obituary. Very informative, and filled with love. I never met him, but knew of him from Juliet, my niece, by marriage to Aaron. So sorry to hear of his passing. Bless you all. Aunt Jaymee, Downey, California

Love and miss you Mike, more than words can ever express. All the long talks on the telephone, our summer vacations to visit you back in Utah. Playing football, basketball, and running together. We loved collecting the same things & it was always fun to get together and show each other our new collectibles. You were a great example to me as a brother, and then to my kids as an Uncle; always taking time to play games and talking to them. I'm going to miss all the laughs and jokes. I take solace in knowing you are in a better place now with all your family and friends who went before you. We did say goodbye to each other, but like you always said, "see you on the next lap",and I know we will. Until we meet again, love you, Mike!!!

Brother, you and I have been through so much in our lives. You accomplished much more in your life than many expected. You were an example for others to follow. You were loved by every life you touched. I don't know anyone who did as much for others as you. You worked on cars, welded, etc. for people you hardly knew. Most of your work was free of charge! You had the potential to become a world record holder in Track. You never used drugs to enhance your performance. Growing up together on Willow Brook Farm together are memories I shall take to my grave. You were one tough cookie Mike. It is my intention to write my memories of a brother who was always there for me. God only knows how I will miss all of the hours we spent on the phone, emails, etc. So glad I spent those days in the hospital with you and with you at your Hospice bed. Thank God you are my brother and we have built volumes of memories. I look forward to being with you when it is my turn. God Bless you Mike and I love you forever!! Brother Ron
