Our beloved Husband, Father, and Grandfather, Kaare Bye passed away peacefully at his home in Woodland, Utah on November 19th, 2016.
Kaare Bye was born and raised in Trondheim, Norway to Edwin and Karla Bye on March 14, 1936. After graduating he was a merchant marine for two years and sailed across the ocean to fulfill his dream of joining the LDS Church in Salt Lake City, UT. He had a tremendous work ethic that was primarily built around his successful business called BBC Carpet Cleaning which he ran for over 40 years.
Kaare Bye had a deep spiritual connection with God and a boundless love for the LDS Church. His passion was Temple work and Family History. He dedicated 25 years of his life to Temple Work and countless hours on Family History research.
