Kolby Pulsipher

With great sorrow, we announce the passing of Kolby D Pulsipher, age 47, due to a tragic accident on June 12, 2025. Kolby was born on March 22, 1978 in St George, Utah to Billy H and Susan Pulsipher. He married Cassey Laird on January 26, 2002. Together, they had five children and built a beautiful life together in Cedar City, UT. Kolby was an entrepreneur to his core, successfully creating a legacy with his family that involved businesses in manufactured home parks, storage units, and a moving company. Kolby’s life was centered around his wife and children.

As a child, Kolby was social and energetic. He loved all animals, especially chickens, horses, and homing pigeons. He could ride his horse, Rooster, backwards with no saddle or reins. When he was around ten, he found his first flock of homing pigeons through a classified ad in the paper and convinced his dad to take him to pick them up in Las Vegas. After that, every trip out of town was a training opportunity for his homing pigeons to learn to fly home. Kolby surprised everyone with his athletic skills, his coaches would say I wish all my athletes had half of Kolby’s drive. He ran track and played football in high school where his team won the state championship. Every summer to earn money he worked hard hauling hay and cutting wood. After graduating from Moapa Valley High School, he served in the Mexico City South mission for the LDS Church.

As an adult, Kolby worked in construction and sales, jumping in fully to every job where he learned a wide variety of skills and learned to solve any problem. He then used this knowledge to build a life in Cedar City, complete with multiple businesses and a ranch property with many animals. The entire family regularly came together to work on different construction projects. He said that his wife Cassey was his best help. Kolby created a life full of adventure–roping with his kids, flying pigeons, working dogs, training and riding horses, camping, and riding motorcycles. He involved his family in all of these adventures. He always took the time to support his children and delighted in their accomplishments. People wanted to be around Kolby, as he was always the life of the party, and their home became a gathering place for employees, neighbors, and childrens’ friends.

He is survived by his loving wife, Cassey, and their children, Alyssa, Austin, Luke, Kian, and Aria; his parents, Bill and Susan Pulsipher; his in-laws, Robert and Lorrie Laird; his siblings, Kyle (Sadie) Pulsipher, Raquel (Guy) Thompson, Kessa (Blake) Stratton, Megan (Luis) Martinez, Sandra (Alonzo) Lopez, Billy Paul (Kelli) Pulsipher; his brother-in-law, Kurtis (Aimee) Laird; his sister-in-law, Shalee (David) Curtis; and his many nieces and nephews.

A viewing for Kolby will be held on Thursday, June 19, 2025, at the LDS church located at 3575 N Minersville Hwy, Enoch, Utah from 6-8 pm. A second viewing will be held at the same location on the following morning, June 20, 2025, from 9-10:30 am. The funeral service will begin at 11 am followed by the internment at Cedar City Cemetery. In his passing, we remember a man who filled the room with his energy and laughter.

We want to express our deep gratitude to all emergency and medical personnel who worked tirelessly to save Kolby’s life.
