Jerry Steele Obituary
Jerry grew up during the difficult era of the Great Depression which forged in him a resilience and resourcefulness that became the hallmark of his life's work in the construction and real estate sectors. This spirit carried through his personal life where he built and raced his own sailboats, constructed his own helicopter and airplane, and enjoyed activities like skiing and houseboating on Lake Powell with his family. His dedication to his work was only matched by his commitment to his family, whom he nurtured with love and strength.
He leaves behind a legacy of love and adventure, survived by his children, Cheryl (Steve), Steve, Kim (Randall), his companion Barbara, his sister Ruth, along with seven grandchildren and sixteen great-grandchildren. Jerry was preceded in death by his wife, Rosemary, his brothers James and Robert, and his parents, James and Ethel.
Details of the memorial services are yet to be determined. Jerry's life was a testament to the power of hard work paired with a fun-loving spirit, and he will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
