Senate honors Ogden officer Nathan Lyday with official citation
Summary
The Utah Senate read an official citation honoring Ogden Police Officer Nathan Lyday, recognized his Ogden roots, education at Weber State University and the sacrifice he made in the line of duty; the family attended in the gallery and the chamber observed a moment of silence.
The Utah Senate recognized Officer Nathan (Nate) Lyday of the Ogden City Police Department with an official citation that recounted his education, community ties and service.
Senator Bostrom introduced the citation and asked the gallery to stand with the officer's family. The reading clerk recited Lyday's biography, noting he grew up in Ogden, attended Taylor Elementary, Mounds Fort Junior High and Ogden High School, and graduated summa cum laude from Weber State University in criminal justice. The citation described Lyday as devoted to his community and "a true guardian who quintessentially demonstrated the solemn honor of being a police officer."
Senators expressed condolences and asked for a moment of silence in honor of Lyday and his family, who were seated in the gallery.
Procedural note: The citation was entered into the Senate record and the chamber paused its regular business to honor the family.
