Myron
Hampton Stone
Obituary
Myron (Mike) Hampton Stone, 73, of
Graham, Washington, graduated from mortality on July 23, 2019 after his body
succumbed to autoimmune liver disease.
Mike was born in Napa, California on May 14, 1946 to Newell Elbert Stone
and Lois Ferne Walker Stone.
Mike was raised on a 160 acre dairy
farm where he learned the value of hard work.
Mike received a full ride track scholarship to Brigham Young University
as a distance runner. He was able to
tour Europe with the BYU track team in 1968 where he set a 2 mile PR of 8:50 in
Stockholm, Sweden. Mike still holds the two-mile record (9:18) at Lower Lake
High School in Lower Lake, California.
While at BYU Mike met and married his
sweetheart and love of his life, Darleen Sabin Stone. Mike and Darleen were
married on October 29, 1969. Their
marriage was later solemnized in the Provo Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints on December 15, 1990. Mike was so looking forward to
celebrating his 50th wedding anniversary in October. Even though
they will have to celebrate their 50th anniversary from both sides
of the veil, their marriage is eternal and they will have countless
anniversaries together throughout eternity.
Mike valued family above all
else. This is evident by the way he
lived his life. Mike was loved by all
who knew him. He treated everyone as
though they were his best friend.
Mike was called upon to serve Uncle
Sam in Vietnam. He served in the 101st
Airborne Division Screaming Eagles. He served his country courageously and is a
true hero.
Mike was an expert welder and worked
for many years at Geneva Steel in Orem, Utah. Before and after work Mike would
often be found running the foothills with his children. Mike was an avid
collector. He collected antique cars,
metal lunch boxes, gas pumps, Elvis records, and anything automotive related.
Mike is survived by his wife,
Darleen; Children: Tammy Stone, Lisa
(Rex) Hamblin, Juliet (Aaron) Gerry, Michael A. Stone, and daughter-in-law
Derrinda Stone; 13 grandchildren, one great grandchild on the way. He is also survived by his siblings: Ron
(Alice) Stone, Linda Stone, Tim (Jeanne) Stone.
Funeral services will be held at
