He then spent 30+ years being a firefighter/paramedic for Gold Cross, Lone Peak Fire Dept. (Highland), American Fork Fire Dept. and Tooele Army Depot. He had a great love for helping people in need.
Skylar loved the outdoors, which including camping, 4-wheeling, fishing, hunting, and making fantastic campfire meals. He enjoyed doing all of this with his family at Little Yellowstone Campground, where he shared his knowledge and love for his family’s generational camp site. He proudly carried on the tradition of holding family reunions here. One of his dreams was to travel and go 4-wheeling everywhere he could.
