Theron Albert Lamoreaux, 76, loving husband and father, passed away on December 16, 2020 at his home in Provo, Utah from complications due to a long illness. Theron was born in Cedar City, Utah on July 11, 1944 to Homer & Rilla Lamoreaux. He was the third of five children. His two older brothers Erwin and DelVar welcomed Theron then the three of them welcomed their brother Larry and later a baby sister Mona Lou completed the family. His parents relocated them all to Provo, Utah when he was i n his early teen years and this is where he lived for the remainder of his life. He attended Provo High School where he enjoyed playing basketball. He got a job at the age of 16 at Riverside Country Club cooking on the grill and working in the kitchen showing he was always a hard worker. Later, at the age of 25 he met Drenda Lou Robison and they say it was mutual love at first sight when they met at the Viaduct Cafe where Drenda worked as a waitress on Provo Center Street. He married Drenda Lou Robison on January 26, 1971. They had five children together; Stephanie, Mashelle, Timothy, Thomas, and Susan and were married for 49 (almost 50) years. He continued his career at the Riverside Country Club at the base of Provo Canyon for over 35 years. He worked hard to care for his family. Through many years of dedication and hard work he worked his way up and finally held the position of Head Chef for many years. We could never remember a day that he missed work. That loyalty was one of his finest qualities. Everyone who had the pleasure to eat what he prepared would tell you he had a definite talent in the culinary arts. His co-workers were very fond of him. He had to retire early in 2003 due to health issues. When he was a young husband and father he liked to spend his leisure time in the summer months at his family home helping his father and DelVar tend the garden, and they would plan and go on fishing trips to Strawberry Reservoir, Utah with his wife Drenda, their five children, and his parents Homer and Rilla and other family members. He had an easy going sometimes even playful nature when he was with his loved ones making jokes and pranks to make others laugh. He also enjoyed going deer hunting every fall with his father Homer and brother Del Var. When he was no longer able to get out and about he became an avid movie buff and western movies were his favorite genre, although he had different things he seemed to enjoy watching especially if it pertained to nature and history, thrillers and even Space. He loved BYU Football. He also enjoyed cooking at home for his family and friends and spending yearly holiday gatherings surrounded by his loved ones. He always had a kind heart and welcomed everyone but was camera shy and did not like to be the center of attention. He will be loved and missed dearly and will always be with us in our hearts. He i s survived by his wife Drenda Lamoreaux of Provo, Utah; His 4 remaining children, Stephanie Lamoreaux of Las Vegas, Nevada, Mashelle Lamoreaux of Salt Lake City, Utah; Tim Lamoreaux of Provo, Utah; Susan Thompson of Azle, Texas; his brother Erwin Lamoreaux of Orem, Utah; his sister Mona Lou Reed of American Fork, Utah.
