LINDON, UT--(Marketwire - November 6, 2009) - Lindon resident Matt King has lived longer than his doctors expected when they diagnosed him with terminal pancreatic cancer six months ago. Matt, 44, his wife Jodi and their three children, Courtney, Cooper, and Reiney are residents of Lindon, Utah, and since the diagnosis, Matt and Jodi have focused on creating memories with their children that will strengthen them as they go through life without their dad.

Hooked on Utah's host and Adventure Guide, Gary Winterton, was honored to have been part of this endeavor. Together with the Utah CWMU Association, Round Valley Outfitters, and SilverEagle Feed & Fuel, 'Hooked on Utah' put together a fully guided deer hunt for Matt and Cooper, and the episode featuring their hunt will air this Saturday at 6:30 pm on KSL Channel 5.

"This was an amazing experience for everyone involved, and I'm so grateful for the people that joined together and donated the tag, food, and guide services to make it happen. Matt and Cooper had a great hunt and a profound father and son experience that I think our viewers will find powerful."
