Growing up in Columbia Falls, she was active in sports, 4-H shooting, and loved to attend events such as the local rodeo series.

Brad was born Dec. 13, 1987, in Kalispell, to Steve and Carla (Miller) Williams.

It wasn't the clothes Brad wore, the shoes he had on his feet, but his heart and soul that made him the most unique, never proud, young man who everyone loved. His heart was bigger than Montana; he loved all animals, old people and children. His piercing blue eyes and smile would light up any room. You may have met Brad as a stranger but you left as a friend (unless you were picking on his buddies or a girl).

Brad loved his "little, Big Brother" Jimmy and his sister Aimee so much, always wanting to protect her. One of the most important times of Brad's life was birthday shopping with his Gramma Bunnie and listening to his Grampa Norm's bad jokes.

There is a special place called Red Gate where Brad, his dad, along with his brother, sister and family from Washington spent many hours making many memories. It was his dream to someday live there and live off the land. There wasn't a mountain or stream that Brad didn't want to conquer. Brad was always happiest with family, friends or just running off by himself in the woods.

Brad will be missed by all who knew and loved him. "This is not a good-bye — it's only until we meet again. We love you, Braddy."

Brad was also blessed to have met an incredible teacher, Judy Doxtater, in elementary school. Judy remained his best friend until the day he passed away. At the time of his death, he was working with his stepfather Lonnie at LT Heating and Cooling, hoping to run the business someday.es here

Alice Barten was born in Wausau, Wisconsin to Lawrence A Dennee and Marie (Schanfeous) Dennee, the second youngest of eight children. She attended St. John’s Catholic School and graduated from Edgar High School. She later attended and graduated from Flathead Valley Community College.

She met the love of her life, David, the one & only time that either of them went to the disco, and it was love at first sight; they were married a short two weeks later. Their early marriage was joyfully spent in a small primitive cabin in the North Fork and they later moved to the Lake Blaine area. They were blessed with three children, Dohasan, Logan, and Katie Barten and had just celebrated their 41st wedding anniversary.

Alice worked nights at Cayuse Prairie School during her college semesters, and was later employed at Big Mountain Resort, the Flathead Curriculum Cooperative, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Flathead County, and most recently, Windmill Storage & Business Park.

Alice most enjoyed any time spent with her family. She truly relished every minute with her children & grandchildren, and was always happy when family visited. She loved crafting, reading, huckleberry picking, shooting, and hiking in Glacier National Park. She was always quick to volunteer in the community and spent many hours in service to Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Creston Auction on behalf of the Creston Fire Department.

Katie was born in Kalispell, Montana, the youngest of three children. She spent her early years at Cayuse Prairie School and graduated as valedictorian from Flathead High School. She spent her college years working at Costco while attending the University of Montana in Missoula and later transferred to the Kalispell Costco, where she was employed at the time of her death.

Katie considered her mom one of her best friends and they often enjoyed cooking, crafting, and nearly any kind of outdoor activity they could find to try in northwest Montana. Katie also enjoyed snowboarding, hiking, kayaking and spending time with her brothers, friends, and extended family. Always up for a challenge, she relished learning to hunt with her dad and brothers, learning gardening, canning, and quilting from family and neighbors, and she often found happiness in painting and any other kind of artwork. One of her greatest joys was in her fur babies, Rowdy, Ozzie, and the family dog, Dylan.
