Paul Michael Bartlett

My angel child Paul Michael Bartlett, age 49, of

Mountainville, Utah peacefully departed this world on June 27, 2026 at his

home. Born on December 24, 1976 in Provo Utah, Paul was the beloved son of

Irene O’Brien and the late Howard Bartlett.

He shared his life with his mother and stepfather, Pat

O’Brien, and his siblings Mark Bartlett (Fenny), Julie Bartlett Hickerson

(Robert), Jared O’Brien (Cyriel), Deborah O’Brien Cole (Jeremy), Daniel O’Brien

(Erica), and Jacob O’Brien (Christina).

He was cherished by extended family and many dear friends

who will always remember his kind nature.

Paul’s educational journey included special training at Dan

Peterson School in American Fork, Oakridge School in Provo, where he also

participated in Special Olympics at BYU, earning medals and ribbons, and

Sanpete High School. He worked for many years at the Affinity sheltered

workshop in Nephi.

He communicated more through his expressions and the

happiness he found in simple things than through words. Those who loved him

learned to celebrate the little moments - a smile, a laugh, and the delight of

a favorite toy. His life reminded us that love doesn’t depend on words.

Although he faced significant challenges throughout his life

due to disabilities, he brought joy to those who knew him in his own unique

way. He enjoyed going to church, loved riding in the car and listening and

moving to music, (his favorite was the closing credits music from “The Chosen”)

- but most of all he loved his rattly balls and his “hand balloons” (latex

gloves). His smile and quiet presence touched the hearts of his family.

A service to celebrate Paul’s life will be held on July 9,

2026 with a visitation at 10 a.m., funeral at 11 a.m., and a luncheon

following. Mount Pleasant Utah North Stake Center, 461 N. 300 W., Mount

Pleasant, Utah.
