A. Henry Brito passed away on December 22nd, 2019 from natural causes in Heber, Utah. Born on January 25th, 1951 in Gilman, Colorado to Jose Cipriano Jr. and Aurelia Martinez Brito. Henry loved life, especially the outdoors. He was a phenomenal skier, marathon runner, gifted guitar player, lover of music, especially blues and jazz, lover of family and adored by all who he had the pleasure to come in contact with over his life.
Henry was first exposed to the automobile industry in 1963 at Brito’s Texaco, located in Kearns, Utah. As a youngster, his father taught him how to pump gas, change oil and turn a wrench. It was there that young Henry learned the value of hard work, integrity and honesty.
Henry Brito was Vice President and Partner of IBG. Henry began his lifelong automotive career in 1978. Throughout his career, he worked at Western Diversified and Protective Life. Henry was an expert on Affiliated Reinsurance Companies (ARCs) for automobile dealerships. He focused on the formation of each individual auto dealership’s ARC, and then guided the owner in creating wealth through the effective administration of their ARC.
As an avid snow skier, Henry helped found the Professional Freestyle Skiing Association in Salt Lake City, Utah. He worked as both a freestyle coach and a founding member of the Utah Academy of Freestyle.
