Robert Scott "Toby" Adamson
1945 - 2017
VETERAN
Early Life: Toby was born November 29, 1945, in Salt Lake City, Utah, the son of Lee and Roberta Cook Adamson. He grew up in Lehi, Utah, the brother of Joe Adamson and Carla Shelton, and was a proud Lehi Pioneer. Toby enjoyed and excelled at playing all sports. He was a part of many championship teams as he grew, making many lifelong friends along the way. He met his sweetheart, Ann Peterson, as a sophomore at Lehi High School; they have been together ever since. Toby is a graduate of Lehi High School and Utah State University.
Life's Work | Service | Interests: Toby and Ann were married September 30, 1967, and sealed in the Logan Utah Temple. They welcomed five children into their family, four boys and a girl. They also have several "adopted" children that have been embraced as part of their family. Toby began his professional career as a salesman for the Kendall Company and loved traveling and meeting new people. He served proudly in the Utah National Guard. He loved the Guard, the people he worked with, and earned many commendations and awards in his service. He ended his professional career as a Colonel with the assignment of Chief of Staff. Toby loved hunting, fishing, and sports of all kinds. He also loved talking to and getting to know anyone he came in contact with; there were no strangers to him. He was thrilled to make a waitress smile, a bag boy happy with a kind word, a tip, and shaking hands with a baby, child, or grown up. He loved them all. His ability to get to know, love, and serve others was unequaled. He always had a kind word for those he knew and was charitable to those around him. He had a knack for storytelling and a memory for every detail. But his greatest joy was found in his family. Toby met Ann early, and loved her for a lifetime. No matter the problem, they always loved each other as they worked through it. He took great pleasure in taking care of whatever she needed and in spending time with her. After he retired, they spent almost all of their time together. Toby was a one in a million dad, and as his children grew, he took time daily to check in on and talk to them. There wasn't a day that he didn't make some effort to let them know he cared about them and how much he loved them. He was a grandpa beyond measure. He loved and cherished each of his grandchildren, and was adored in return. He hosted Sunday dinner for every available child and grandchild every week, and was thrilled to see and love them. Robert Scott "Toby" Adamson passed away at home, Wednesday, January 26, 2017. He was 71.
