Peyton Mikael Kimber, age 17, passed away on October 17, 2020 from injuries sustained in an automobile accident.
Peyton was born August 10, 2003 to Brandon and Kristin Tiller (Kimber) Cox in Price, Utah.
It is hard to sum up his amazing yet short life in just a few words. From the moment he was born, he brought joy and love into the lives of everyone ever met. He never met a stranger, once he loved you, he always had a place for you in his beautiful heart. He lived for adventure and was always willing to try anything once. He was his sibling’s best friend, you rarely ever saw him without one of them, especially if it was a late-night food run to McDonald’s. He was the kind of friend everyone should have. His laughter and smile were contagious; you could not help but be happy when he was around. If you were having a bad day or were sad, he would be as annoying as possible until you were happy and laughing.
He was an amazing athlete, he loved wrestling and playing baseball. He loved being a part of an elite team on Fortnite. Recently, he fell in love with mountain biking, it seemed every night he and his friends were off to a new trail. He loved taking things apart just to put them back together. He loved listening to all types of music, and you never could catch him without his ear buds in. Peyton loved to travel, and he made road trips fun with his singing and goofy personality. Peyton always put others above himself, he never held grudges or stayed mad for too long. His love for life, family, and friends was pure and genuine. His short life was a gift to all of us who knew him.
Peyton left this world with the example of how to love, how to be forgiving, how to be a friend and especially how to live. He will be missed, and even though the world became a little darker with his passing, Heaven became a lot brighter.
Peyton was an organ donor so part of him will go on and live new adventures.
