  Kim Lamar Hartley, our beloved family member, passed away peacefully on June 23, 2025, in Ogden, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, kindness, and practicality that many will remember with fondness. Born on June 12, 1963, in Oregon, Kim added a touch of brightness to the lives of all who crossed his path, always donning a smile and a positive outlook.

  In his professional journey, Kim dedicated 13 years to MyD Industries, where he served as their warehouse manager. His extensive knowledge, paired with his innate problem-solving skills, made him an asset to the company and a mentor to many. Holding a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management, Kim's education provided a foundation that he applied throughout his fulfilling career.

  Beyond his professional achievements, Kim was a proud member of the Army National Guard, serving for six years, embodying the commitment and dedication he held strong in every aspect of his life. His passion for service extended beyond his military duty; he actively volunteered at the Church Cannery, further showcasing his generosity and willingness to give back to his community.

  A true jack-of-all-trades, Kim found joy in a plethora of hobbies and interests. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, often crafting moments in nature that would become cherished memories for his family and friends. His culinary talents were unmatched; he was the go-to cook for any celebratory occasion, delighting loved ones with meals that not only nourished but also brought people together. Gardening was another passion that he embraced wholeheartedly, allowing him to connect with the earth and share the fruits of his labor with those he loved. Additionally, Kim had a love for reading, opening his mind to new ideas while also enriching conversations with others.

  Kim is survived by his devoted wife, Shelley Hartley, and a loving network of family and friends who will forever treasure the memories they created together. Among those left to cherish his memory are Lorna Bennett, Myron Hartley, Dustin Hartley, Carter Hartley, Jeana Goodsell, Rebecca Heath, Deanna Alder, Mike Bennett, Dennis Shultz, Caitlin Shultz, Ryan Hartley, Nick Hartley, Ben Hartley, and Kierstyn Sanders.
