Jerry C Ragland

April 6, 1945 — March 14, 2024

Monroe, Utah

    Our beloved Jerry C Ragland passed away March 14, 2024 in Monroe, at age 79. He was
born on April 6, 1945 in Monroe to Harry and Lyla Smith Ragland. He married his high school sweetheart, Judy Parish, on May 4, 1967 in the Salt Lake Temple. She preceded him in death on June 3, 2022. 
    Jerry was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He held different callings over the years including working with the Boy Scouts, and as the ward clerk. He enjoyed home teaching and performing priesthood duties. 
    Jerry enjoyed being outdoors shooting and sometimes camping. He enjoyed working on his cars and could often be found in the garage. Dad loved going on car rides, especially in the fall to look at the changing leaves. One of his favorite things to do was to watch old western movies… especially John Wayne. 
    Dad was friendly and loved by everyone he met. He was always very optimistic and always had a positive outlook. 
    Jerry is survived by his two children: Jamie (Bobby), St George; and Jared, Murray; four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren; siblings: Bryce and Sherry. 
    Jerry was a father, husband, brother, grandfather, and friend. He spent many years as a loving husband and care giver to his beloved wife Judy who suffered from Alzheimer’s.  Jerry has now been reunited with the love of his life to live forever in happiness for time and all eternity. Though the body dies, the soul lives forever. May you rest in peace.
