Gary Jacobsen, 60, passed away on January 16, 2024, in Salt Lake City, Utah from complications due to diabetes.
Gary was born on June 28, 1963, in Salt Lake City, UT, to Michael Bird Jacobsen and Marilyn Palmer Jacobsen.
Gary was best known to be an avid fisherman, hunter, and loved spending time with his family and friends. He was a devout Pittsburgh Steelers and Utah Utes fan. Gary was a very hard-working person, willing to help family and friends with any projects they had. He was skilled at painting, carpentry, and woodworking.
