Elroy Edmond Colledge, Lehi, UT— Elroy Edmond Colledge passed away peacefully in his sleep on November 5, 2024, at the age of 86. He was a beloved father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, known for his devotion to family, community, and his faith.
Elroy was born on September 17, 1938, to Nancy Frances and Lester Colledge in Lehi, Utah. He graduated from Lehi High School in 1956, where he played varsity basketball, earning the nickname "Mouse." Elroy was a dedicated member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and spent several years on a mission to the Cook Islands until 1959. His life was defined by service, and he continued to serve others throughout his life.
He married Diana and together they raised two children: Laura Jean and Lester. Elroy worked as a butcher, running his own meat plant in Salina, Utah, until 1999. Afterward, he moved in with his daughter’s family and continued working locally across Utah County. Elroy was deeply involved in his grandchildren’s lives, never missing a game or event.
After his retirement in 2012, Elroy spent much of his time doing what he loved—fishing, gardening, and spending quality time with family and friends. He was preceded in death by his son Lester, his twin brother Dwayne, his brother Lavelle, and his parents. He is survived by his daughter Laura, his grandchildren Ryan Murano, ReAhna Dobson, Andrew Littlefield, and Kenna McKeachnie, and his great-grandchildren Roman Murano, Silas Dobson, and Andersen McKeachnie. His surviving brothers and sisters include Johnny, Larry, Brent, and Jay Colledge, as well as Beverly Burr and Rose Abbott.
A viewing for Elroy will take place at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, located at 700 W 2600 N in Lehi, Utah, on Saturday, November 9th at 10:00 AM. The funeral service will follow at 11:00 AM, with Elroy being laid to rest at the Lehi Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations for funeral services and floral arrangements can be made through a GoFundMe fundraiser.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Elroy’s family during this difficult time.
