M. Lamont Knudsen of Springville passed away on March 9 th , 2014, at the age of 53. He waged a valiant campaign against brain cancer for more than three years.
Lamont was born August 22, 1960, to Marvin Knudsen and Theo Elaine "Teddye" Mason. He was raised in Kirkland, New Mexico, and graduated from Kirkland Central High School in 1978.

Lamont loved the Savior and had a strong testimony of the atonement. He enjoyed genealogical work and had a remarkable memory for church history.
