Kevin Lee Thueson 1958-2021 Our father and friend, Kevin Lee Thueson, passed away at his home on January 9, 2021 from natural causes due to a heart condition at the age of 62. Kevin was born in Idaho Falls, Idaho on May 10, 1958 to Elizabeth Kinghorn Thueson and Ford Webb Thueson. As a child, he grew up on the Snake River next to the Idaho Falls Temple, where he loved to fish almost daily. His childhood was highlighted with frequent trips to Island Park, Idaho with his parents and his Aunt Edith. There they would camp, fish, ride dirt bikes, and enjoy the wildlife. These experiences sparked in him a love of nature and the mountains that would perpetuate throughout his life. At the age of 8, Kevin was baptized and became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. During his middle school years, his parents moved his family to Bountiful, Utah. Kevin attended Millcreek Jr. High and graduated from Bountiful High School in 1976. His teenage years were full of exploring the mountains of Utah and Idaho on a dirt bike, which continued until his passing. As a young man he became enthralled with music, especially good rock n’ roll and playing the drums. He served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Independence Missouri Mission from 1977-1979. He truly loved the people he served and those he served with. In 1980, he married Marci Smith in the Salt Lake Temple. Kevin is survived by his 4 children, Tyler (Megan), Spencer (Jenna), Jason, and Heidi (Ryan). He has 8 grandchildren that he adores. Kade, Chloe, and Olivia (Tyler); Hadley, Mason, and Wells (Spencer); and Claire and Benson (Heidi). He is preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Karen. Kevin was an entrepreneur, business owner, popcorn connoisseur, and proud American. His welcoming, open door policy was a blessing to many. He will be greatly missed. A small graveside service will be held in Island Park, Idaho, one of his favorite places.
