Dear Friends,

We hope you’re all enjoying this beautiful fall weather and the vibrant colors that surround our city. Recently, while walking through Barnes Park, I saw several children joyfully picking up bits of trash as they played. They weren’t asked to do it—they simply cared. That simple act reminded me why Kaysville is such a unique and special place to live. It’s not just our parks or our mountains that make us exceptional—it’s our people.

As we enter this season of gratitude, let’s take a moment to reflect on the blessings that come with living in a community like ours. In Kaysville, we honor our past, celebrate the present, and work together to build a strong future for generations to come. Our history is filled with stories of pioneers, families, and neighbors who built this city through faith, service, and resilience. Their legacy lives on every time we lend a hand, show kindness, or teach our children to take pride in where they live.

We are also deeply blessed to be Americans—to live in a nation founded on freedom, faith, and opportunity. Our ability to gather, to worship as we choose, to express our opinions, and to pursue happiness are privileges that countless men and women have sacrificed to defend. President Ronald Reagan once said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.” As we enjoy the peace and safety of our daily lives, may we remember those who serve and protect these freedoms, and strive to live in a way that honors their sacrifice.

This month, as we observe Veterans Day, we pause to express our heartfelt gratitude to the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to liberty ensure that we can live, work, and raise our families in freedom. My father, grandfather, brothers-in-law, and uncle are all veterans whose families have sacrificed as they’ve served our country. I have so much respect and love for our military families—past and present—whose quiet strength, devotion, and service embody the best of America. To every veteran and military family in Kaysville—thank you. You are the quiet heroes among us, and your service strengthens the very foundation of our community. May we honor you not just in words, but through our daily actions—by serving others, upholding integrity, and cherishing the freedoms you have defended.

Our community’s strength has always come from relationships—neighbors who know each other by name, families who look out for one another, and friends who step up when someone is in need. The loyalty and unity we share are what turn a city into a family. It’s the reason Kaysville continues to thrive even as times change. We stand together not because we agree on everything, but because we care about each other and about this place we all call home.

As Americans, we are united by more than geography—we are connected by shared values: hard work, service, and hope. In Kaysville, those values shine every day in our schools, churches, small businesses, and city programs. When we serve side by side—whether planting trees, coaching youth sports, or supporting local causes—we strengthen the very foundation of our democracy: the belief that communities flourish when people work together for the common good.

Faith, family, and freedom are the cornerstones of who we are. Our founding fathers believed that with liberty comes responsibility—the responsibility to care for our neighbors, to teach our children gratitude, and to leave things better than we found them. That principle still guides us today. As President Abraham Lincoln reminded the nation during a time of great challenge, “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” His words remind us that unity, respect, and integrity are what preserve the blessings we cherish most.

This Thanksgiving season, I invite each of us to express gratitude not only in words but in action—to find ways to serve, like the adorable children in the park, connect with in person with others, and continue the legacy of faith and community that defines Kaysville. Thank you for making this city such a remarkable place to call home. Together, we’re preserving the values that matter most—faith, family, service, and kindness.

Angel of Hope

The Angel of Hope statue stands as a beacon of comfort and strength for parents and families who have experienced the loss of a child. It serves as a powerful symbol of remembrance and healing, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, hope endures. The statue is located in the southwest corner of the Kaysville City Cemetery at 500 East Crestwood Drive, made possible through the generosity of local residents and businesses.
