Kenneth Cordell Boyer

Born Aug 2, 1940 to Lorene Brown Boyer and William Leo Boyer in the Coalville Hospital. He died peacefully at his Yuma, Arizona home, May 8, 2019, with his wife by his side. He married Faye Petersen in Centerfield, Utah on June 13, 1964. He started following along with his parents on the summer sheep grazing as soon as he was able to sit with his mom on a horse. He trailed sheep in the Uinta's during the summer, worked on the family ranch in Upton, and developed a love of the land. That love led to a career with the Bureau of Land Management. He started with the BLM in Monticello, Utah in 1962 and moved with his job to places in California, Oregon, and finally back to Utah in 1978. He retired from the BLM in 1995 and continued to work the ranch in Upton, until his legs "gave out." Ken attended schools in North Summit, starting his education in the little school of Hoytsville, then graduating from high school in 1958. He then studied at Utah State University to learn the best practices in land management....
