Kolton Gage Herring was born to Lesli Rhoades Dana and Kirby Joe Herring, August 25, 1992 in St. George, Utah. Kolton passed away September 30, 2011. He attended Swift Creek High School in Afton, Wyoming, also attended Syracuse High in Syracuse, Utah. Kolton spent some of his growing up in St. George, UT; Beaver Dam, AZ.; Casper, WY.; Pocatello, ID.; Star Valley, WY.; and Syracuse, UT. He was employed at Picture Perfect Playgrounds and loved his job. He loved to travel, country music, 4-wheeling, fishing, hunting, boating, spending time with his cousins, and spending time with his dog Coco on the Salt Flats. He had a talent of making any story into an amazing adventure, full of comedy. He was always friendly to everyone he came across; never shy of having a conversation. Nor did Kolton ever deny anyone who needed a helping hand. He loved to help so much that he volunteered for the Thayne, Wyoming Fire Department with great pride. Words cannot express how much we all will miss him; he has touched so many lives in so many ways. We will always have him in our hearts full of love and gratitude for what he gave us all, no matter if he was giving us a bad time or telling us the joke of the day, we could always look to him for a great laugh.
