TYSON EGBERT Click here to view Tyson's Video Tribute IDAHO FALLS, ID -- Tyson Brent Egbert, 26, of Idaho Falls, passed away December 3, 2009 at his residence. Tyson was born on October 11, 1983, to Brent Irwin Egbert and Kelli Jo Sargent Egbert. Tyson graduated from Skyline High School in 2002 and was attending Brigham Young University-Idaho with hopes of becoming a counselor. This would have been a great fit since Tyson was a friend to all and was an excellent listener and a great communicator. The highlight of Tyson’s life was serving a full time LDS mission from 2003-2005 in Charlotte, North Carolina. There was nothing more valuable to him than the gospel and his testimony. Tyson was a great friend and could get along with anyone. He always saw the good in his friends and would always put them first. In his spare time Tyson enjoyed weight lifting, dirt biking, the Detroit Lions, talking, music and concerts, spending time with friends and being outdoors. Tyson is survived by his parents: Brent and Kelli Egbert, and two siblings: Molly Egbert and Megan Egbert Lavin and her spouse Claudy Lavin. He is also survived and loved by his grandparents: Irwin and Darleene Egbert; Colleen Sargent and JoAnn and Lynn Sargent. His friends and family will miss him very much and cannot wait to see him again. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, December 9, 2009 at the Idaho Falls LDS North Stake Center, 955 Memorial Drive, with Bishop Dalon Loertscher of Magna, UT officiating. The family will visit with friends on Tuesday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. at Wood Funeral Home East Side, 963 S. Ammon Road, and Wednesday from 10 to 10:45 a.m. at the church, prior to services. Burial will be in Fielding Memorial Park. ---------------------------------------------------- Condolences received online: Davidjohn & Adeana Stosich adeana@stosich.com Dear Brent & Kelli, We are saddened by the passing of Tyson, still remember him as this little boy running around the church.

Whenever I go by Fox Hollow I see your old home and remember teaching all your children and the fun I had with them. Tyson is, and will always be an awesome young man. His presence on this terrestrial world will be sorely missed yet Heavenly Father has great things in store for him beyond the veil. I loved being around Tyson and working with him in basketball, weights and just hanging out. May Heavenly Father bless you all in your time of sorrow.

He was a great young man. I just want you to know that Tyson is loved so much and you are too. I know that you will be filled with your Heavenly Father's love for a long time and I just want to tell you that you can pray for that to stay with you. Draw near to the Lord, he loves you.

It is just living our lives to be able to be together. My heart is with you. Sincerely, Louise Benson Stan & Debbie Landon debraklandon@yahoo.com We loved Tyson! We will never forget before his mission when he showed up at our home to help dig the foundation for our shed. He was out there helping Matt with a shovel and worked so hard - not expecting a dime for his work. We will always remember his smile and kind heart. Our sympathy and prayers are with you his wonderful family. Patrick Collier I served in the North Carolina Charlotte Mission with Elder Egbert. I remember him fondly. He made an impact on so many during that time. I will always remember the encouragement I received from him while he served as an assistant to our mission president. Those times meant so much in my life and Elder Egbert played a part in that. I am forever grateful that he chose to go to North Carolina when the call came. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Sincerely, Elder Patrick Collier Alyssa I am so sorry for your loss, I think it helps to know he is in a better place now. I know he is still with you. Craig Victor Bronson My love goes out to you all. I'm always comforted to know that our friends and family are being cared for on the other side.

Mindy Mckinlay mmckinlay66@msn.com Brent, Kelli, Megan, Molly - It was so wonderful seeing you all tonight, I just didn't get to say everything I wanted to say.

Feel free to email me anytime I would love to hear from you and be able to talk with you more often. Love Mindy Chelsea To the family of Tyson Egbert- I was just looking through my journal and found this little thought for the day from President Gordon B. Hinckley. I received the e-mail concerning his death and I did not know him, but I'm sure he was a good young man. I hope you find peace at this time. From the book Stand a little Taller: "A Sense of Peace - Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. (Romans 14:19) 'All of us have to deal with death at one time or another, but to have in one's heart a solid conviction concerning the reality of eternal life is to bring a sense of peace in an hour of tragedy and loss that can come from no other source under the heavens.'" I know that Christ lives, that God is in His heavens, and that you will see your son again and have such joy! I am sorry for your loss, and I know that our Heavenly Father loves us so much. God bless. Kristen Egan ega05001@byui.edu I am so sorry for your loss. Remember that with God, there is always a reason, a perfect reason, for why things happen and that he will lift and strengthen his children in their times of need as they turn to him. God bless your family. Eden Zabriskie Summers EdenASummers@gmail.com I am so sorry to hear about his unexpected passing. Know that our Heavenly Father has a plan. We just need to learn to trust him. Tyson was a wonderful person and a great friend. You will see him again - This much I do know. Tenille Arehart Kelly thekellyfam4@gmail.com I am sending you my deepest condolences on your sad loss.

With warmest regards, Tenille Arehart Kelly Doug McKay douglasamckay@gmail.com I'm so sorry for your loss. I didn't know Tyson very well but I know how much he meant to everyone.
