Brian Tregaskis

1962 - January 2, 2025

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Brian Tregaskis, beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, who left us on January 2, 2025. He was 62 years old.

Brian was born in 1962 to Don and Gail Tregaskis, and grew up in a close-knit family. As an Eagle Scout, Brian's love for the outdoors was evident. He developed particular passions for scuba diving, woodworking, photography, cars, geology, and off-roading. These hobbies continued to bring joy throughout his lifetime.

Brian's talent behind the camera led to his work at The Daily Herald newspaper in Provo, Utah. After beginning as a photographer, he was able to develop knowledge in computer technology and software programming as the I.T. Director for Lee Enterprises. This later led to work with Vivint Smart Home in testing and development of new tech for the company.

One of Brian's greatest passions was adventuring. Over the years, he shared in a yearly "Desert Hell" with some of his closest friends that led to lifelong bonds. In addition to sharing these adventures with friends, it instilled a deep love of nature within his family.

His best friend and travel companion, Rose, became Brian's wife on December 27th, 2007. He had three children with his first wife, Gay, and gained a bonus daughter in his marriage to Rose. Whether trekking in the desert or soaking in the tropical sunshine on vacations, Brian continued to find ways to share adventures with his loved ones throughout his lifetime.

Brian is preceded in death by his parents, Don and Gail. He is survived by his wife Rose, son Carson (Michael), daughters Jessica, Natahlia (Jacob), and Emily "Mae", grandson Rhoan, and siblings Brent (Bonnie), Trinka (Steve), and Michael (Susan).

A memorial service to celebrate Brian's life will be held at Walker Sanderson Funeral Home & Crematory located at 646 E 800 N Orem, Utah on January 15th from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. To honor his life, the family openly invites anyone to share loving stories, memories, or thoughts about Brian during the memorial service. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that each individual takes the time to appreciate nature, pause and enjoy a sunset, and toast to the good life.
