Spencer Braithwaite

Morgan Spencer Braithwaite, age 36, of Vernal, Utah, passed away March 29, 2025, at his home.

He was born on March 7, 1989. He came into this world with “two hoots and a haw.” He was the 4th and youngest child born to Don and Linda Bright Braithwaite in Roosevelt, Utah. He spent most of his life in Roosevelt and the Uintah Basin. He was a busy little man that just loved life and the outdoors. If it had wheels on it, he would ride it: from his little yellow Tonka dump truck to his dad’s big green machine. He loved hunting, fishing, trapping, horses and his kids.

He worked in the oilfield and loved the rigs. He was not afraid to work and was always willing to help a friend.

He married Keri Houston on April 14, 2014, and January 1, 2016, his son, Sylus Hunter, was born and on January 24, 2019, his daughter, Aria Gail, was born. His kids were his world and he was a great dad. This young man was such a force. He had quick wit and a great smile for everyone. He will be greatly missed.

Spencer is survived by his children, Sylus and Aria Braithwaite, his separated wife Keri Houston; parents, Don and Linda Braithwaite; siblings Mike (Amanda) Braithwaite, and their children, Trevyn & Jaycee Braithwaite; Shasta (Clark) Nelson, and their children, AJ, Corbyn & ReiDon; Thomas (Jordan) Braithwaite, and their children, Morgan, Olivia, Gibson & Beau.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Boyd & Carla Braithwaite and Leroy & Mary Bright.

Per his wishes he was cremated and his graveside services will be held on Monday, April 7, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at the Myton City Cemetery.
