Gregory David Bronder

March 16, 1975 ~ August 15, 2015

Gregory David Bronder climbed his highest climb back to his Heavenly Father and is now watching over his family and friends from the highest peak. Greg was an avid outdoorsman who passed away doing what he loved most. Our hearts are broken, but we are filled with the knowledge and peace that we will be with him again. Families CAN be together FOREVER!

Greg was born in Youngstown, Ohio on March 16, 1975 to Bill and Joyce (Cushey) Bronder. He met and married the love of his life, Kayla Colovich on February 5, 2000. Greg and Kayla were blessed with two wonderful children, Griffen (8) and Sophia (5). He adored spending time with his wife and children. They were his pride and joy. Greg’s love of hiking took him too many great heights, even being able to name one of them Griffen Peak after his son.

He graduated from Bowling Green State University with a BS in Environmental Health. He received his Master’s degree from the University of Utah in Public Health.

Greg was a lifelong Seattle Seahawks fan and a proud Utah Ute who “bled red.” He was an accomplished drummer and loved going to see his favorite band, Rush. Greg was a playful, goofy, tease, yet serious and tender-hearted. He loved and served his community as a Tooele City Volunteer Firefighter. Greg was truly a mountaineer; there wasn’t a name of a peak that he did not know. He was one county-high point shy of climbing every county high point in the state of Utah. He was really looking forward to climbing Mount Rainier with his buddies. He loved the mountains and everything they had to offer.

Greg loved the Lord and was a quiet, humble servant. He would often seek solace on the top of a mountain. It was here, that he truly felt close to God. Greg had a deep love for his fellowmen and was truly one of the “good guys.”

Greg leaves many broken-hearted people, his wife, two children, his parents, his brother Geoff (Kristina), his grandmother Violet Thompson, his father- and mother-in-law (Kay and Carole Colovich) brothers- and sister-in-law (Mac, Sam (Bella), Ann (Paul), and Jed (Shelly) as well as numerous adoring nieces, nephews, “Good Buds” and countless friends.

A visitation will be held Thursday evening from 6-8 p.m. at Tate Mortuary, 110 South Main Street, Tooele. Funeral services will be held Friday, August 21, 2015 at 11 a.m. at the Valley View Stake Center, 332 E. 1000 North, Tooele. Interment will be at the Tooele City Cemetery.

“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”…Ralph Waldo Emerson

We love you Greg! Until we’re together again, soar with the eagles.
