MOAB — Riding four-wheelers and side-by-sides on trails is part of what draws thousands to Utah every year. You’ll see them almost any weekend of the year, especially with Memorial Day approaching.

“I could talk about Cody for hours,” Brotherson said during a ceremony Saturday morning. “Seventeen months ago, our lives were forever changed.”
Cody Brotherson was a West Valley City police officer who was killed in the line of duty.
“To this day, there is a gaping hole in our hearts that will never be filled,” said Jenny Brotherson, while speaking into a microphone on a stage in front of hundreds of people.
