Richard Gerber Obituary

Richard "Rick" Peter Gerber, a devoted disciple of Jesus Christ, and beloved husband, father, and grandfather, returned peacefully to his Heavenly Parents after a miracle-filled battle with cancer. Born in Logan, Utah, to Robert K. and Lillie Nielsen Gerber, Dad's life was defined by diligent work and an unwavering commitment to his family and to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Dad married his sweetheart, Bonnie Zoe Reynolds, on 5 June 1970 in the Logan Utah Temple. They are the parents of seven children: Richard Jason (Amy), Chesapeake, Virginia; Jared (Rebecca), Hillsboro, Oregon; Lori (Tyler) Higgins, Nampa, Idaho; Robbie (Anita), Smithfield, Utah; Jen Meyers, Ewa Beach, Hawaii; Sara (Jacob) Whetstone, Erie, Colorado; and Jeff (Sarah), Goodyear, Arizona. They have 30 beloved grandchildren: Ben, Michael (Amina), Livvy, Richard, Mary Jane (Xavier), and Matthew Gerber; Jacom (Allie), Hannah (Ryan), Sam (Katilyn), Maggie (Dylan), Rachel, Matt, and Lily Gerber; Emma (Jake), Ethan (Kamdin), and Harrison Higgins; Scott, Callie, Clare, and Reed Gerber; Morgan, Bobby, Donovan, and Jovi Meyers; Anna, Henry, Lucy, and Ruby Whetstone; and Peter and Gideon Gerber. He is also survived by his brother, Robert, of Smithfield, Utah.

A funeral service will be held at 12:00 on Saturday, February 14, 2026, in the Birch Creek Chapel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 660 W 200 N, Smithfield, UT, 84335.
