Jerry Lefevre

Panguitch, Utah - Jerrold (Jerry) B. LeFevre, age 81, passed away February 12, 2024, in Panguitch surrounded by his loving family. He was a devoted son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He will be missed by many.

Jerry was born March 15, 1942, in Panguitch to Ira Banks and Ada Nay LeFevre. He spent his childhood years in Panguitch and graduated from Panguitch High School in 1960. He then went on to attend college at College of Southern Utah.

He was a strong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and served a mission for the church from 1962-1964. After his mission he met and married Deanna Sue Hunt in the Manti LDS Temple on April 26, 1968. To their union brought five children and an amazing posterity.

He joined the Army National Guard and was an active member for six years before he was honorably discharged.

Jerry spent most of his career working for the Forest Service.

He was a devoted father, coach, and friend. He was a proud Bobcat and followed the Bobcats his whole life. He was always there to support kids in sports and scouting. If you were working on getting your Eagle in scouts he was always there to help. If you were playing sports he was there to coach or help in any way as he loved the game. Jerry was a friend to those who knew him and was always willing to help if needed. If he wasn't able, he would send his boys to get the job done. Service was always in his vocabulary. He had a very active life and would go hunting or fishing any chance he had. Time in the mountains with his family was his favorite. Ride east till noon, eat lunch while listening to Paul Harvey then drive west home. Being in the mountains was a given for him.

Jerry is survived by his loving wife, Deanna, children: Jerred (Meredith) LeFevre, Ronda (Don) Higgins, Jeremy “Scrappy” LeFevre, Jed LeFevre, Jake (Nicky) LeFevre, 18 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, and sister: Raelynn Johnson.
