Kay F. Probst

Kay F. Probst passed away peacefully April 13, 2018 at his home in Midway Utah. He was born November 2, 1927 to Francis A Probst and Alice Galli Probst. After high school graduation he enlisted in the US Navy and then served an LDS Mission to Canada. He spent his life in Midway. He married NaDene Sweat on June 20, 1949 in the Salt Lake Temple and he and his new bride spent the first year of marriage on the mountain herding sheep for his father. Shortly thereafter they bought and operated a dairy farm in Stringtown. He served as Midway Postmaster for 30 years and farmed after hours. He and his wife (NaDene) served an LDS mission in the Richmond Virginia Mission. He loved people, horseback riding, hiking, and especially enjoyed when he could do them with family and friends. He was the first to welcome many to the valley and show them around. Most recently he loved taking people for a ride in his side-by-side where he could share his love for the mountains and outdoors. He served on numerous county boards and committees and was sought out for his insights and input. He was active and served faithfully wherever he was asked in the church and was loved by all. He so looked forward to being reunited with his sweetheart of 68 years.

He is survived by his six children and their spouses: Brenda (John) Price, Randall (Deanna) Probst, Julie (Greg) Wheeler, Rex (Patty) Probst, Jane (Jim) Skidmore, Blake (Sheri) Probst, and 27 Grandchildren and spouses, 72 Great Grandchildren, 3 Great, Great Grandchildren and three brother-in-law’s: LaVar (Mary) Sweat, Duane (Janet) Sweat, and Evan (Carolyn) Sweat.
