Gilbert E Montoya Jun. 18, 1942 ~ Feb. 27, 2016 Born June 18, 1942 in Fruita, Colorado Death February 27,2016 West Jordan, Utah Hi there! I just thought I would write my own obituary. I was thinking, If I had to do it all over again what would I change? I came up with the fact that I would not change a thing. My life was far from perfect, but God gave me four wonderful children (Steve, Cindy, Revis and Sony) and their families (8 grandkids and 9 great grandchildren). He gave me my first wife (Susie) of forty-eight years which I loved with all my heart; three years later God gave me another wife (Valerie) that became the love of my life. I am proud to say I started my life by enlisting in the U.S. Marines when I was 17. Once a Marine always a Marine. I worked at some great companies; Kennecott, Gibbons and Reed and Granite Construction. I worked with some bad people, but I have to say a lot more good people than bad. I would like to thank all of them for having a positive impact on my life. Cancer has been the greatest struggle in our lives. My first wife, my mother, and my youngest daughter died of Cancer. My oldest brother (Tony) , older sister (Lucy) and my oldest daughter had and survived Cancer. Now it ‘s my turn. Through it all it has strengthened my faith in God. He was with us every step of the way. Follow up on your Genomics. Try to catch it before it is too late.
