Jerry was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He loved the outdoors, camping, hunting, fishing, and boating.

He enjoyed riding horses in the mountains and participating in cutter racing. He was a long-time fan of NFR and local rodeos. Lake Powell was his hideout. When we couldn’t find Jerry, he often retreated to his boat in Lake Powell. Fishing in Canada was always a highlight trip each year for him.
