Randy Bryce Jabbs

(Randy) Bryce Jabbs, our precious son, brother, and uncle, passed on from this world on Saturday, January 17th. Bryce was born to Debbie Buckley Jabbs and Randy Jabbs on October 7, 1993. He was the light and life of our family and home; everyone who was ever around him could feel the special spirit he had.

Though he had many challenges in his life, he faced them all with grace and strength. He showed us the true meaning of unconditional love and patience.

Bryce attended and graduated from Hartvigsen in Taylorsville, where he spent his days with his favorite teachers and aides. Bryce loved to jump - whether it was a mini-trampoline, his bed, or the couch, some days he would jump for hours just looking out his bedroom window. He went on many road trips with his parents, his favorite being the times they went to the beach. Bryce would sit on the sand digging holes, and when one hole got too deep he would turn and start over at an untouched spot and start the process all over again… he never wanted to leave the sand.

Bryce really enjoyed his time in nature; he loved soaking up the sun’s rays on a warm afternoon and running his hands along the grass while watching the wildlife. Bryce found joy not in material things, but in the little things. He loved the sun, his toys, and anything that felt interesting to hold. He LOVED food - apples, Cheetos, and Fritos were a few of his favorites, and earned the nickname The Frito Bandito by the time he was 3 years old! He knew when you weren’t sharing your food and caught his sister a few times trying to sneak sugar by him, and would convince her quickly to share.

Bryce loved his family the most. He spent many late nights with his older brother watching movies, hanging out with dad, watching him work on his latest research, and many nights cuddling with mom so they could both sleep better. While Bryce may have been non-verbal, he had no problems communicating his feelings, needs, and wants. His eyes were so expressive that he could tell a whole story with just one look.

Bryce is survived by his parents, Randy and Debbie Jabbs, brothers Mark and Brock (Alana), sister Brittany (Sam), and many nieces and nephews.

The family is holding a viewing on Saturday, January 24th, from 10 am to 12 pm at Memorial Murray Mortuary at 5850 S 900 E, Murray, Utah. Following the viewing, the family will hold a private burial ceremony.
