Richard and Andrea Warburton

For most of their lives, Richard and Andrea Warburton have called Pleasant Grove home. They are both descendants of the pioneers that settled here in the 1800s. They met while attending Pleasant Grove high school, dated, married, and before you knew it had four children of their own attending the same schools they had attended. Pleasant Grove is a wonderful place to raise a family. Each of their two daughters and two sons both met and married their spouses from Pleasant Grove. Now Rich and Andrea are the proud grandparents of 10 grandchildren. In 1998, along with a friend and business partner, they opened Rocky Mountain Collision and in 2006 open their second shop in Heber city. They have been blessed by a wonderful community that has continually supported them.

Rich and Andrea often wonder how many times their paths crossed as they grew up; playing at the PG pool, looking for books at the old library, buying penny candy at Ben Franklin, shopping at Christensen‘s, or eating ice cream while sitting on the spinning stools at the Story Pharmacy drugstore. Did they ride their decorated bicycles right next to each other in the children’s parade? Did they ride on the same ride at the carnival? Did they sit by each other at the rodeo or at the parade? Strawberry Days has always been a summer highlight for each of them. And they have been celebrating together for more than 37 years.

They love the hometown feeling of Pleasant Grove and enjoy being involved in the community. It was an unexpected honor to be considered for Strawberry Days grand marshal. They are excited to share in the celebration this year.

Sandeep and Ramandeep

I was born and raised in India before moving to Australia. I now reside in the beautiful city of
Pleasant Grove. My journey has been one of growth, learning, and a deep commitment to
customer service. I met my wife, Ramandeep Kaur in 2012 and our bond quickly blossomed into
a strong and loving relationship. We tied the knot in 2014, marking the beginning of a shared life
journey. In pursuit of new opportunities and adventure, we made the life-changing decision to
move from Australia to the United States. Together, My wife and I have built a life full of love,
support, and shared goals. Ramandeep is not only a loving wife but also a pillar of strength in
our family, supporting me in my endeavors while nurturing our two sweet daughters.
We took over Harts and named it as Friends in 2018. Within a few months, we decided to move
to Pleasant Grove City after experiencing the incredibly sweet gestures and positive reactions
from the local community . The kindness and warmth of the community made us feel truly
welcome and valued. From heartfelt conversations to genuine smiles, the people here have
created an atmosphere that feels both comforting and inspiring. These interactions made us
realize that this city is not just a place to live but a place to thrive, surrounded by individuals who
care and support each other. It was the kindness of the people that ultimately made Pleasant
Grove the perfect new chapter for us.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy a variety of outdoor activities. I have a love for driving,
particularly through scenic canyons, and hiking where I find peace and inspiration in the beauty
of nature. These activities allow me to appreciate life and its simple pleasures.
I have a deep appreciation for community service. I believe in giving back to the community that
has supported me throughout his journey. Whether through my work or personal efforts, I
always make efforts to remain dedicated to making a positive impact on those around me. Being
involved in local initiatives and events brings me great joy and satisfaction.
I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve my community and humbly appreciate the
chance to contribute to its well-being. I am eager to make a positive impact. I am truly honored
to be part of the upcoming parade, as it provides me with an opportunity to celebrate the spirit of
togetherness and the values of unity and service that I hold dear. It is a privilege to be
recognized for my contributions, and I look forward to continuing to serve and engage with my
community.
