Brice grew up on a small farm where he learned hard work in the sugar beets and alfalfa. Work ethic was engrained in him. He loved people and always wanted to help everyone. Brice served active duty with the 6th Marine Division during World War II. He fought for this country and the freedoms that he loved in the Pacific Theater on Okinawa and Guam. He finished his service in China as a peacekeeper as the war ended. Brice loved to share patriotic messages and his love of country. 

After his military service Brice served a mission in the Southern States Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After marriage, Dad and Mom farmed for a few years before moving to Logan, Utah to attend College. 

Upon graduation, Brice accepted a teaching position in Bountiful, Utah. He later became a Principal, spending much of his career pioneering new programs at West Bountiful Elementary. He loved serving with his faculties, PTA's, and the kids. 

Family was his greatest pride and joy. Homemade ice cream was a staple at gatherings. 

Brice and Marilyn served three missions together: the Philippines, Toronto Canada, and Little Rock, Arkansas. They also served at Welfare Square helping to feed the homeless. Over the years, Brice served the Lord tirelessly in many capacities – Mission Presidency, High Counsel, Bishopric, Stake Sunday School, High Priest Group Leader, and minister. He served at the Bountiful Temple for 15 years. His faith and testimony were strong and shared often. 

Brice loved gardening, camping, traveling with Marilyn, and hard work. He grew up on horses and has finally gone back to the farm.
