On July 1, 2011, our most beloved son and brother, Kristopher Mont Court, was removed from this life. Kristopher was in awe with the world in which we live. He was an enthusiast of all science. However, his most beloved of the sciences' was Physics. He marveled at the night sky, the stars, they provided curiosity and peace for Kris. Some would consider this young man to be absolutely brilliant. He aced his ACT's and tested out of his freshman year of college, so with his brilliant mind, a presidential scholarship, and a little hard work Kristopher started his college career at the University of Utah, as a sophomore, Kristopher aspired to attain a Phd. in Physics. Unknowingly to him, this was not the path laid out for him.

For the betterment of all that knew him, he became inspirational to all. He was and still is the exemplar of, compassion, patience, bravery and unconditional love. Kristopher loved his family and was amazingly kind to others that crossed his path. During all trials in life, he and his family experienced, he was always the first to offer help and never a malicious word left his lips. We all loved the way Kristopher loved us, he never had to say it but we all felt it in his actions, in his presence. Thus, in a circumstantial way Kristopher did become a Professor, not of Physics, but of Ultimate Love and Compassion. Kristopher Court is the representation of humanity and of the potential for goodness that exists within all of us. He is our blue print for perfect Loyalty and Patience.

Kristopher is survived by: his parents, Mont O. and Shirley Dee Court; his two older brothers, Steven (Jill); Ryan (Kelly); his three sisters, Suzette (Byron); Lauralei and Julie. Seven nephews and Six nieces. Uncles, aunts, cousins, friends, and faithful companion checkers.

For all that know Kristopher, he is, and always will be, our Earthly Champion. He will be greatly missed.

Funeral services will be Friday, July 8, 2011, 11:00 a.m. at the Walker Mortuary, 587 South 100 West, Payson, where a visitation will be held from 9:30-10:45 a.m. Burial will be in the Salem City Cemetery.
