"President Faust was a profoundly influential voice during his service to the legal profession for high standards of ethics, civility and to the rule of law. We have always appreciated the way in which he treasured his experiences as a lawyer and continued to make contributions to the improvement of the legal profession. He will be deeply missed."

Utah State Bar President V. Lowry Snow said he was deeply saddened by President Faust's passing. "President Faust was not only a great lawyer and leader of our profession, but he also actively promoted the delivery of legal services to the poor and needy of all faiths in the state."

Long-time attorney and lifetime friend Leonard Lewis said he has lost a good friend.

"We were young lawyers together. I'm very saddened to hear about it. He was one of the brightest and most decent persons I've ever met in my life," Lewis said.
