Bryan McKay Eddington, 4, born August 3, 1992 in Orem, Utah was an extraordinary young boy with a powerful vigor for life. The earth was his playground. He had no fear, and he allowed his body and his mind no limits. On August 4, 1996 he died at the Primary Children'sHospital in Salt Lake City.
Bryan was a very bright child. His inquisitive mind was always asking questions and exploring new realms. He was a quick learner. His strong imagination would help him become anything from a dog named Sid to a powerful super hero.Bryan was very coordinated and athletic. He loved to play wrestle with his dad and uncles, swim, do unprovoked flips off the diving board and run. He always seemed to be pushing his body to test and stretch its limits.
Perhaps the thing we will most remember about Bryan is his cheerful smile and buoyant personality. He loved people and people loved him. He was a huggable child. His brothers, sister, and cousins loved to play with him, not to mention his parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. Bryan loved to laugh and his bright countenance cheered everyone around him. He gave his heart and his trust to all those who knew him.
Bryan is loved and will be sorely missed by his family. He is survived by his parents, Paul and Emily Eddington; his sister, Shauna; his two brothers, Devin and Jacob, all of Pleasant Grove; his grandparents, Darrell R. and Helen Eddington, Alpine; Alan C. and Karen Ashton, Orem; his great-grandparents, Edna C. Jackman, Orem; and Conway A. and Emma Rae Ashton, Salt Lake City.
