Jerry Hugh Lane was born in Rock Springs, Wyoming, on March 28, 1941, to Gene and Cassie who were a rock-solid source of support and encouragement in his life.
Jerry attended Westminster College and the University of Utah where he studied geology and social work. He retired in 1997 from 30 years of service in the state of Utah as a social worker. Jerry and Jo created welcoming homes in Sugarhouse (Utah), Donnelly (Idaho) and Yuma (Arizona).
Jerry is preceded in death by his parents Eugene Terrence and Cassie Williams Lane.
He is survived by his wife, his pearl, Jo Lane; brothers Jack (JoAnn) Lane and Gene Lane; children Michele (Bryan) Fridlund, Denise (Lloyd) Thayne, Terry (Sandy) Lane, and Jeff (Sally) Alworth; grandchildren Nathan (Amy), Adam (Samantha), Jeremiah, Elena, Christen (Allan), Cassie (Brent), and Daniel; and great-grandchildren Nora, James, Kurtis and Karter.
Due to the resurgence of COVID-19, the family has chosen to schedule the Celebration of Life for June 18, 2022, the day before Father’s Day, in Rock Springs. Graveside services will also take place June 18, 2022, at Rock Springs Municipal Cemetery. This was not an easy decision and we thank you for your graciousness as we make these difficult choices.
