The heavens opened up today, and took a special man away. On Monday morning, August 31, 2020, Gerald Bruce Dailey, aged 84, passed away after a courageous battle of cancer.
Born August 12, 1936 in Salt Lake City to Elmer Amos and Ruth Wilson Dailey. Jerry had one brother, Kenneth Dean Dailey. They were very close and shared many wonderful memories together.
Jerry met his beautiful sweetheart and love of his life, Reva Christine Bernard, in the same salesmanship class as a senior at West High School, where he sold her a pitch of a “Forever Love.” They married on January 30, 1955 and later took their five children to be sealed in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They were married sixty-five years.
Jerry always had a passion to be a firefighter which became his career. He served as a Salt Lake City firefighter for twenty-four years and county two years. He also worked many other side jobs to support his family.
Jerry loved the outdoors, fishing, camping, hunting, boating, and many other adventures. He also enjoyed traveling and seeing many places with his sweetheart, family, and friends.
Jerry was a man of many talents and liked to build beautiful things with wood. In 1992, he bought property in Ivins and built a beautiful home for Reva and him to retire. He also had a keen eye in taking care of his yard and the beauty of their homes that they owned. He also had a hobby in coin collecting and enjoyed showing them to his family when they would come to visit.
Jerry was known for his beautiful blue eyes, his full head of wavy hair, and don’t forget his smile that made you feel special. He would do anything for you and enjoyed helping others.
Jerry was preceded in death by his parents and parents-in-law, along with many family members. He is survived by his wife, Reva Dailey; children, Steven (Janna) Dailey, Kay Lynne (Brad) Bake, Lyle (Corina) Dailey, Mike (Shelia) Dailey, and Dee Anne Dailey; seventeen grandchildren; thirty-six great-grandchildren; and brother, Kenneth Dean Dailey.
Reva and the family would like to thank all his family, friends, ward members, and all that have been a part of his life. A special Thanks to Bishop Galbrait and Jerry’s hospice nurse, Carly; it meant so much to have you both near.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, September 12, 2020 at Memorial Estates Mortuary, 5850 South 900 East, Murray.
