Morehouse has been involved extensively in the airport and golf course development in Afton over the past two years. The Star Valley Independent will post more information as it becomes available.





My deepest condolences go out to Brad’s family, I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn of his death earlier today. I had only ever met Brad twice,but they were lasting impressions I will never forget. I married his first cousin and Brad and Leslie were gracious enough to pay for us to go to the Bahamas for our honeymoon. A gesture which we were extremely grateful for. And this is one of many acts of kindness that he performed for not only his family but others as well from what I’ve been told. I wish I could have seen him one last time when he was at the air show in Cheyenne during Cheyenne Frontier Days,unfortunately I did not get off work in time to see them before they left. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole Morehouse family tonight. He will be missed deeply.-Wade Blunn,Cheyenne
In such a small time here in Afton, Brad made such a big difference. He made friends with, and created jobs for, many young people, including us. He was a hard worker, he had a great sense of humor, he had a generous spirit, and always tried to do the right thing. Our prayers are with all of Brad’s family. He will be greatly missed.

Like many of you, I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Brad’s death and my condolences go out to his family. Brad was a fun, happy person who tried to make his community a better place. He took me up in his jet once and I could see why he enjoyed flying so much. Brad was a good person and a good friend. I’ll miss him.
This was a horrific year for the Reno Air Races. I have several military friends who are really involved there & have been out to see the races many years. This year, 3 pilots lost, 4 different accidents and 6 planes destroyed. Our prayers of comfort to the Morehouse family. Elder & Sister, Kevan & Patricia Larsen, Ft Stewart, Georgia.
