Jerry Moon Obituary
He was born April 28, 1940, in Murray, Utah, the son of Elmer and Arwella Pierce Moon. He married his high school sweetheart Myrna Kay Stevenson on Dec. 18, 1959, in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. They would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this year.
Jerry grew up in Duchesne, Utah, spending many years of his life working with his father on a sheep ranch. He graduated from BYU, Stonier Graduate School of Banking and earned many other degrees in finance. He retired from banking after 35 years.
Jerry had a strong testimony and love for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He held many positions in the church, including serving as an ordinance worker in the San Diego Temple. He loved serving others. The joy of his life was his beloved family. Jerry loved the outdoors and some of his happiest times were spent, camping, fishing and "going-on-safari" with his grandchildren.

My sympathies go out to you in your loss. I was a grade behind Jerry in school and remember that he loved sports, especially basketball. If I remember right, Kaye was a cheerleader. I'm sure he will be missed and fondly remembered by many.
