Neighbor Spotlight
Kim and Melinda Colton - 2173 Fair Winns Lane
Tell us about your Family: We have two sons who are both away at college. Our oldest, Connor, is junior at the University of Utah studying game development, and our youngest, Ian, is a sophomore at Fordham University in New York City.
How long have you lived in The Cottages? Since Dec. 31, 2024
Where did you move from? We moved from Draper (12 minutes away)
What brought you to SunCrest? We lived in our last home for 20 years. We decided it was time to downsize now that our sons are gone. We wanted main floor living, new construction, and a place that would allow us to travel. The Cottages are perfect for us!
What do you do for a living? / How do you fill your days?
Kim is an Energy Attorney and is a General Counsel for Wolverine Fuels, LLC.
Melinda works remotely doing communications and marketing for the Utah Women & Leadership Project at Utah State University (a research think tank for women’s issues).
Hobbies: Travel - we love to see the world as a family. Kim and I have been traveling to NYC annually to see Broadway shows for the past 25 years. It’s fun to have a son who lives there now.
Favorite Trip: It’s a close tie between London and Paris. We loved both! It has always been important to show our sons there is a much bigger world outside of Utah!
Favorite Books: Kim is an avid reader and a former English and Literature professor. He has far too many favorites to list. Melinda is a news junkie and loves the digital world.
Favorite Movie: The Sound of Music
Tell us of your origins. Where did you meet?
Kim was raised in St. George, and Melinda was born and raised in Northern Montana. We met years ago via BYU and 13 years later ran into each other. The rest is history, as they say.
Kim has bachelor’s and master’s degrees from BYU, a second master’s degree from Carnegie Mellon, and his juris doctorate from the University of Utah. He has practiced law for the past 30 years.
Melinda has a bachelor’s degree in journalism from BYU. The majority of her career has been spent in Utah higher education and public education.
What else would you like us to know about you? We are appreciative of those who have provided such a warm welcome to us. We are excited to get to know everyone and be part of this community.

Join the Neighborhood Super Adventure Club

Do you have a sense of adventure? Want to explore new places, learn something new, or just get out and about with great company? Then this is for you!
We’re gathering a group of like-minded neighbors to plan fun outings for this spring, summer, and fall. The details? We’ll figure them out as we go! All it takes is a little curiosity, a willingness to carpool, and a desire to experience something different.
Our adventures could include:
• Visiting museums, historic sites, or hidden gems
• Taking scenic hikes or road trips
• Trying out new restaurants or cultural events
• Exploring unique destinations like the UVU Roots of Knowledge, Crystal Hot Springs, or Nine Mile Canyon’s petroglyphs
• Finding the best ice cream shop in town!
Each outing will be tailored to the interests of the group—some trips may be short and spontaneous, while others might take half a day (or more). Whether you’re a longtime Utah resident with local knowledge or new to the area and eager to explore, this is a great way to discover the Wasatch Front and beyond—while getting to know your neighbors in a fun, relaxed way.
Come join us and help shape our next great adventure! For more information contact Gaye &/or Gary Dixon TXT: 435-730-7710 or Email: glldavis@gmail.com
