He graduated from Highland High School in 1960, served a mission in 1961 in the Gulf States, graduated from Westminster College in 1977, and graduated with his Master's degree from BYU in 1981. He started running track when he was 17 and continued to run until he actually qualified and finished third in the mile at the Olympic trials in Mexico City. He loved all sports and chose to become a teacher and coach as his profession.
He married Suzanne Packer, November 24, 1970 in the Salt Lake Temple. They were blessed with 3 children and 4 unbelievably, fantastic grandchildren. All were top priorities in his life and he loved being 'Grandpa Jerry' to many. He had a strong testimony of Jesus Christ and served faithfully in the LDS church. His favorite callings were that of Bishop and Gospel Doctrine Teacher. He and Suzanne served a mission in Kirtland, Ohio, loving their time together there.
He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Suzanne; children Cindee Stott, Ryan (Tawny) Stott and Kimberly (Daniel) Shirey; grandchildren Ashlyn, Austin, Jacob and Mason Stott; sisters Donelle Dickey and Beth (Jeff) White and many in laws, nieces and nephews who love him.
