Our beloved father, brother and uncle, Thomas Albert Hartvigsen, was living in Portland, Oregon when he left this world on April 23, 2008, due to Respiratory Problems.







Tom was born July 5, 1934 in Santaquin, Utah to Arthur Lorenzo Hartvigsen, Sr. and Margaret May Thomas Burraston Hartvigsen. He grew up in Santaquin and attended Santaquin and Payson schools. He attended 5th grade in Dragerton, Utah while living there during WWII. He graduated from Payson High School, with some further schooling at the University of Utah.







Tom married Mary Michelle Hardt on December 31, 1976. They were later sealed in the Manti LDS Temple. They shared a good marriage for many years that didn't quite make it to the finish line. Tom is adored by his many relatives, and so are Michelle and their children. Tom cherished their three sons and two daughters: Kris, Melissa, Greg, Sara & her husband Darrell Chaffin, and Matt. They reared their family in San Diego County, California and Washougal, Washington. Tom was a talented lithographer in the printing industry and served many years as Union President. His children say a one word description of their Dad is SELFLESS. He was a thoughtful, gentle, fun relative and friend. He was a man of great faith and love of God. He was a talented musician, gracious and generous host, and blessed the lives of those who knew him with his many talents and warm personality. In January, he was given an award from BYU as British Volunteer of the Month in the Immigrant Ancestors Project.







Tom was preceded in death by his parents, brothers & sisters and in-laws: Winnie & Lester Gee, Jim & Doris Burraston, Elvera Hartvigsen, Marjorie Hartvigsen Peterson Taylor and her husbands Clarence Peterson & Kendall Taylor, Ruth & Lloyd Mills, John Emil Hartvigsen, Norma Cazier Hartvigsen, Margaret & Vaughn Tolman, Melvin Hartvigsen, Theresa LaCosta Hartvigsen, Jim Durrant, and several nieces and nephews.







Tom is survived by his former wife Michelle and their children: Kris, of Allenhurst, Georgia; Melissa of Portland, Oregon; Greg of Mtn. View, California; Sara & her husband Darrell of Washougal; and Matt of Washougal. He is survived by his brothers & sisters and in-laws: Arthur Lorenzo Hartvigsen, Jr., Jessie Myers Hartvigsen, Asa Curtis Hartvigsen, Randy & Sybil Judge Hartvigsen, Mary Lou Durrant, Shirley & Bob Peterson, Marda & Kay Mendenhall. He is also survived by, and treasured by, many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He will be greatly missed.








Memorial Services will be held Friday, May 9, 2008 at the Old Santaquin Stake Center, 90 South 200 East, Santaquin. Family and Friends may call Friday from 9:45 to 10:45 prior to the Services.
Interment will be at the Goshen City Cemetery.
