Arthur Fisk McOmber Jr, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on September 16, 2022. Memorial Services will be held October 11, 2022 at 6:30 pm. at the LDS Centennial Chapel, 49 East Centennial Blvd, Saratoga Springs, Utah.

Arthur was born May 9, 1941 in Pocatello, Idaho to parents Arthur Fisk McOmber Sr. and June Marineau McOmber. He was the oldest of 6 children.

He enjoyed his youth participating in Scouting and organizing fun activities such as dances. Art was asked to complete military training as a medic in the US National Guard prior to serving an LDS mission to the Canadian Mission under President Thomas S. Monson. It was near the end of his mission while attending a small branch in Chatham Ontario, where he met the most beautiful music conductor he had ever seen and requested special permission to return and court Diana Lee Stuart once released. They were soon married and were sealed for eternity in the Logan, Utah Temple, August 28,1963.

Together they raised a family while living in Salt Lake City, UT, Fremont, CA, Lake Oswego, OR, Lehi UT, and Saratoga Springs, UT. They were married 52 years before his dear wife passed away 5 years ago. However, he continued to consider himself married and recently celebrated their "eternal" 59th anniversary.

Arthur loved being a family man and was devoted to his wife and their four children. His favorite title was Papa given to him by the grandchildren. We all affectionately thought of him as a "Gentle Giant".

Art graduated with a Bachelor's degree from the University of Utah and a Master's Degree in Business from the University of Phoenix. Education is a family priority and he encouraged his children to graduate from college, all of which did from BYU.

Art loved the people he worked with throughout his long career. Some of the main businesses he worked for are: San Francisco Lighthouse for the Blind where he learned ASL. He was also a pioneer from the beginning of cellular phones throughout the western states and Hawaii: Bechtel, GTE Mobilnet, Sprint, Motorola, Verizon, and Pacific Telephone.

Anyone who knows Art knows just how much he loves sports both as a participant and a spectator especially in basketball, baseball and football. His buddies often referred to him as, "King Arthur" because he played with intensity, class and fairness. He instilled in his children a love of athletic and healthy competition.

Most people know Art as a real gentleman who never had a harsh word for anyone, quick to share a compliment, express appreciation and loved to serve all those around him. His faith in our Savior was demonstrated by his patient actions and service in many church assignments including as a temple worker.

Art is survived by his loving four children and their spouses who he often said were his kids just the same; Tammara Ballard and husband Mark, Art McOmber III and wife Barbara, Michael McOmber and wife Breanna, and Devon McPherson and husband Levi. He has 14 beautiful grandchildren and 9 amazing great grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother, Howard McOmber, sister, Susan Lemons and brother in law, Ken Stuart.

The family would like to express our gratitude for the loving care of the staff of Active Hospice and Abbington Assisted Living Home in Lehi, Utah.

We love you Dad, Papa, and friend and know you are with your sweetheart celebrating and working hard. We will do our best to live up to your name and reputation. Thank you for always being there with love and support, cheers, and pep talks throughout the years.
