Dr. Kyle Gulbranson Obituary (1982

Doctor Loren Kyle Gulbranson, 43, passed away on March 26, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, energy, and deep love for his family. Kyle was born on September 13th, 1982, in Vanderhoof, British Columbia, to Mel and Kathi Gulbranson. This remote British Columbian scenery created in Kyle a profound love for the outdoors, and from there developed an adventurous spirit alongside brothers, sisters, and cousins. In 2003, Kyle returned home from faithfully serving as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Paraguay, Asuncion Mission. On August 12, 2005, Kyle married Mindy Yost, creating a loving and complimentary partnership that would sustain them while diligently pursuing an education in medicine. After graduating in 2018 from the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine - Geriatrics, the Gulbranson family moved to southern Utah, and Dr. Gulbranson became a beloved member of the medical community. Dr. Kyle Gulbranson dedicated his professional life to caring for others. Patients knew him as someone who truly listened—who treated them with patience, dignity, and genuine compassion. He was not driven by recognition or accolades, but by a quiet commitment to always do what was right for the person in front of him. He understood that families are eternal—that those relationships we develop today extend beyond this life. This belief guided him to love deeply and serve faithfully as a husband, father, son, brother, and uncle. His love for family defined him, and Kyle spared no effort in cultivating those relationships by helping others experience his unique enthusiasm for life. Kyle is survived by his wife, Mindy, and their children, Gavyn, Addie, Lucy, and Clara; his parents, Mel and Kathi Gulbranson; and his siblings and their families: Jana Jensen, Jared Gulbranson, Kara McCoy, Karli Hurren, Kaelen Gulbranson, Garyn Gulbranson, Kasey Gulbranson, and Korlyn Gulbranson. He will especially be remembered for leading a life that struck a rare balance between giddy excitement and meaningful purpose. Possessed by a natural curiosity, Kyle strived to see the value in everything and everyone, and he never missed an opportunity to lift another’s spirit with quick wit and light-hearted humor. He leaves behind a lasting impact on his family, his patients, and all who knew him. Family and friends are invited to attend services in honor of Kyle’s life.
