Bryce Ehlert

Our hearts are broken because, our “Man From Snowy River”, Bryce Wayne Ehlert, 29, was called home on Sunday, November 2, 2014 due to complications from his fourth open-heart surgery for a congenital heart defect (truncus arteriosus) and advanced heart failure.

He grew up in Provo and Spanish Fork, graduating a “Don” with the class of 2004 from Spanish Fork High School.  He was employed as a phlebotomist for ARUP Labs at the University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City.

Bryce only wanted to be a cowboy when he grew up.  He loved the outdoors, his 3 dogs, 2 goats, horses, cowboy boots, cowboy hat, motorcycles, ATV's, camping, hiking, fishing, driving, family gatherings, barbecues, board games, the small town of Coalville, and spending time with his wife.

On 10-11-12, he married the love of his life, a cowgirl and championship barrel racer, Nadine Lynn Kern.  He cherished everyday he spent with her!

Bryce leaves behind his parents, Alan and Sara Cox Ehlert, 1 brother, Cameron Ehlert, 1 sister, Sheena Sargent, his wife, Nadine Kern Ehlert, his in-laws, Wanda (Coal) Busch, and Jeffrey (Kathy) Kern, and grandparents Orville C. and Ines Cox of Shelley, ID.

Viewing and funeral services will be held at the Coalville LDS Church, 40 N Main, Coalville, UT 84017.  Viewing is Thursday, November 6, 2014, from 6-8 pm, and again on Friday from 11:45-12:45 prior to services.  Funeral is Friday, November 7, 2014, at 1 pm. Interment will be at the Coalville Cemetery immediately following.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made at any Wells Fargo bank , “Bryce Ehlert memorial fund”.

Bryce lived full throttle! We will miss his energy, wit, storytelling, red-neck jokes, barbecues, and cowboy poetry.
