On June 2nd, heaven gained one of the most humble, adventurous, and charismatic souls, our beloved, Ven Stratton. He was in a tragic ATV accident on Friday, May 30th. He sustained severe head and bodily injuries, and he was airlifted to St. George Regional. The doctors and nurses who cared for him were compassionate and tried everything in their power to save his life.
God decided to take him home to Heaven, where we will all be together once again. Ven was an amazing person who would always bring a smile to your face with a funny joke, or even a silly face. He loved being in the mountains off-roading or camping with friends and family. Some of his favorite movies were Star Wars, Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings, and Unforgiven. His favorite football team was the Kansas City Chiefs! Ven always saw the good in others and was a loyal friend.
His family currently needs assistance with medical expenses and support. Ven is survived by his wife, Bernadette; their two children, Gian and Belle; his parents, Sheryl and Mike Stratton; his sister, Venessa Stratton, and many friends and other family members. Even if you cannot donate, please share Ven’s story. We appreciate everyone’s kindness during this tragic time.
