Gerald Grant Wilson Jr

Gerald Grant Wilson, Jr. entered into eternal rest on Tuesday afternoon, December 21, 2021 in Longmont, Colorado, where he had been working (driving a semi) tightening down his load, when a lift dropped steel on top of him. This fatal accident took his life. Gerald was only 54 years young.

Jerry, as he was known by family and friends, lived in Tremonton, where he had recently purchased a home with his wife JeaNott. When he wasn’t working, he truly enjoyed spending time with his family and pets fishing, boating, 4 wheeling, and doing just about anything outdoors. Jerry was a son, husband, loving father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, and dear friend.

He left behind many who loved him. Among them, his mother (Barbara Wilson), his wife (JeaNott Wilson), his children (Andrew Wilson, Jackie Siggard, Joseph Wilson, Maysen Wilson, Sarah Wilson, and Olivia Wilson). Also survived by his siblings (Cathy Miller, Beth Green, Susie Miller, David Wilson, Debra Baker, Matthew Wilson, and Mark Wilson). Among many nieces and nephews are Brian J. Peterson, Cody Stephens, April Stephens, Jessica Boggass, Scarlett Garcia, Ashly Martinez, and Paul Wilson.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Thursday, January 6, 2022 at the Windsor 2nd Ward Chapel, 60 East 1600 North, Orem, Utah. A visitation will be held from 9:30-10:45 a.m. prior to services.

The family is asking in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to help his wife with funeral costs and a headstone for Jerry. Gifts of love may be sent to the GoFundMe page at https://www.gofundme.com/f/tp8c3y-medical-funeral-expenses or at JeaNott’s Venmo account @JeaNott-Wilson.
