Hyrum's family said, "Hyrum was a beautiful boy full of joy and happiness which blessed the lives of all who met him. He loved laughing, playing, eating marshmallows and dancing to music. He loved being around his family and loved to snuggle and give kisses. He kept at least one pacifier within his reach at all times, often carrying one in each hand. He will be our precious 'brown baby' forever."

Hyrum is survived by his parents Lyle and Shanna Snow; sisters Aubre and Rachael Snow; brothers Jeb and Andrew Snow; grandparents, Don and Virginia Snow of Ferron, Utah, and Blain and Annette Huntington of Wasilla; aunts and uncles Paul and Lee Snow, Carl and Susan Labbee, Calvin and Ann Olson, David and Kim Huntington, Brent and Rischele Huntington, Bruce and Kirsten Huntington, Joel and Angela Huntington; and 22 cousins.

The family requests no flowers at the funeral service.
