Tom Borg (age 66), the best of husbands, fathers, and friends, passed away in the early morning of October 4,, 2021. He was most recently a resident of Layton, Utah.

Thomas Garth Borg, son of Garth Borg and Norma Dean Bulow, was born in Richfield, Utah. He served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the California Arcadia Mission from 1974 to 1976. After spending some time at Snow College, Tom attended BYU where he met his best friend and sweetheart, Karen. They were married in 1980 in the Manti Temple. Tom and Karen have 4 children: Kate, Chris, Amelia, and Liz.

Tom knew a little bit about everything and had a wide array of hobbies. He was a beekeeper, a woodworker, a reader, a hiker, an astronomer, a bird and tree enthusiast, a poet, and a musician. If you had a question about anything, Tom could answer it, or knew where to look to find it. It is difficult to summarize all of the things that made Tom special, but some of our most precious memories are of him sharing what he knew with countless family and friends. Tom dedicated his career to institutions of higher education; helping those in the community access lifelong learning, and he was proud to have served the community for over 20 years at Weber State Continuing Education.
