Joseph Patrick Kotan/Phyllis Ann Kotan

With profound grief and, yet, joy, we announce the deaths of Joseph Patrick and Phyllis Ann Kotan.

Married for 70 years 354 days, our precious “G&G” took their last breaths just four days apart. Gram loved all things sun, and it gave each quite a farewell with a week of beautiful sunsets and the northern lights! While we will miss them terribly, we know these sweethearts are together dancing through rays of sunshine, continuing their love story.

Survivors include their children Patrick Kotan (Debbie), Joan Kotan (Joe), and Steven Kotan, eight grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren. Preceded in death include their daughter Janet Kotan Kampen in addition to two grandchildren. “G&G” were a constant presence in times of celebrations and sorrow.

Their service will be held in the very church where Joseph was an altar boy and where the couple was married. Please join us for a funeral mass at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Harlowton, Montana, on Saturday, November 29 at 11:30 AM. Internment to follow. A luncheon will be at the Musselshell Steakhouse at 11 Central Avenue North in Harlowton, Montana from 1:30-3:30 PM. Should you plan to join us for the luncheon, kindly RSVP via text message by Monday November 24th to 801-694-5600.
