LaMont Harvey Gibson, 77, resident of Grace, passed away peacefully at home, with loved ones near, on July 26, 2025.

LaMont was born on November 6, 1947 in Soda Springs, son of Grant and Viola Gibson.  He was raised and educated in Grace – a graduate of Grace High School 1966.  A love of agriculture influenced his future – participating in FFA, raising and selling prize winning pigs that paid for his mission.  He served for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Central States Mission, establishing a life of faith and service.

LaMont was married to Barbara Livermore on February 19, 1971 in the Logan temple.  They moved to Grace not long after and grew their family. LaMont studied at ISU, becoming an electrician, eventually a Master Electrician, and was an electrical inspector for the state of Idaho for 18 years.

A natural at seeing how to put things together, LaMont successfully built many log homes and buildings, including his own family residence.  He had a passion for helping people improve their lives through the scouting program, whether developing young men or their leaders.  Over the 40 years he participated in scouts, he influenced many in his roles as Cub Master, Varsity Leader, Woodbadge Course Director, and was able to achieve his Silver Beaver in 2001.

After retiring, LaMont continued to enjoy his interests in genealogy and the outdoors.  He found great joy in participating in a church service mission for two years helping people navigate use of Family Search.  His love of the outdoors spanned his life with many hunting and fishing trips, as well as spending large amounts of time in Island Park and Yellowstone.

LaMont is survived by his wife, Barbara, his 7 children: Nephi (Colleen) Gibson of Rexburg, Idaho, Bridget Markle of Marysville, Ohio, Isaac (Tawnya) Gibson of Logan, Utah, Amanda (Adam) Sampson of Marysville Ohio, Josh (Kim) Gibson of Tooele, Utah, Rachael (Ray) Foote of Mammoth Hot Springs, Wyoming, and Sara (Brian) Merrill of Roy, Utah; a sister: Bonnie Jean Olsen of Pocatello, Idaho, 19 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents and 2 brothers.  Viewing will be on Thursday, July 31st at the Sims Funeral Home in Soda Springs from 5 to 7 p.m.  Funeral services will be held on Friday, August 1st at the Grace Stake Center at 10 a.m.  Burial will follow at the Lund cemetery.

The family would like to thank all who have lent support and assistance.
