Gerald Roberet Sherratt

Jerry was one of my French students at Cedar
City High School in his senior year. He was a
good student and an excellent young man. He was liked by the students and all the faculty. It was my pleasure to know him.

A Tribute to Gerald R. Sherratt:
Creativity, Fantastic personality,and the ability to get things done are just a few words to describe my friend Jerry.
Being a native of Cedar myself, I knew of the accomplishment of Jerry as he grew up and showed his leadership abilities even as a youth. Within our family there is a very heart warming story involving Jerry as the High School cheerleader, my brother Gayle on the basketball team, the State basketball tournament and my mom and dad Rube and...

I had the chance to get to know Dr. Sherratt for a brief time and felt his great spirit, I believe he was an extraordinary human being and I am sure our heavenly father is pleased to have him back in his presence. He will be missed and also loved eternally for all those that have the chance to know him and interact with him. Our deepest condolences to his family.

I loved this man and will forever be grateful for the influence he had in my life. As a new professional in higher education in 1993 I will never forgot his warmth, love and passion. He will forever have a special place in my heart. Thank you President!

Dear Sherratt Family Members,

It is with great respect and admiration that we comment on the passing of your dearly beloved Jerry. We knew him on staff at Utah State University where he was the protege of my father in law Glen L. Taggart who held him in highest esteem. We have followed his many accomplishments at Southern Utah University and in the community there and in the state of Utah as well. He had a certain way about him of carrying those around him on his side for effecting the...

My condolences go to the sherritt family your brother was and is a great man and will be missed

Dr. Sherratt really moved Cedar forward in many ways. He was one of the few innovative leaders to apply his golden touch to our special community. History will speak kindly of Gerald Sherratt.

What else can be said - SUU and Cedar City are the institutions they are today because of the efforts of Dr. Sherratt. I am proud to say that I attended SUSC/SUU while he was president. He was a dynamic, caring individual who always made things better, and I am a better person for having known him.

Such a bitter loss for the community of Cedar City and the state of Utah. President Sherratt will be missed as a leader, a philanthropist, an innovator, a pusher for the cause and a role model, but even more his loss will echo through the canyons of Southern Utah and throughout the entire region because he was truly compassionate and energetic in his dealings. What a wonderful friend to all. This legend will be missed.
