J. Wesley Sherwood
1944-2006
The Wes Sherwood family mourns the passing of their
beloved husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, and
friend who returned home with honor on August 4, 2006 after
a long and courageous battle with cancer. Jay Wesley
Sherwood was born May 18, 1944 in Payson, Utah, the youngest
of two sons born to Elden C. Sherwood and Eva Gowers
Sherwood and was raised in Nephi, Utah. He graduated from
Juab High School and attended the College of Southern Utah,
graduating with an Associate Degree. He completed his
education at BYU with both BS and MS degrees. Wes married
his high school sweetheart, Kathy Newton, on July 6, 1963 in
Mona, Utah and they were later sealed in the Manti Temple.
They are the parents of five children and sixteen
grandchildren.
Wes was an honorable man with great integrity. He will
be remembered and loved by all those who knew him. Although
he had many accomplishments, the most important things in
his life were always his family, church and friends.
He loved the Lord and enjoyed serving in The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In every calling he
magnified his priesthood and found great joy blessing the
lives of others. He held various positions in his home ward
and stake, BYU and the MTC, including that of bishop,
bishop's counselor, high councilman, and branch president.
He loved working with the youth of the church, whether it
was the scouts in his home ward, the missionaries at the MTC
or the young married couples in his BYU ward, and had a
great influence on many.
Wes enjoyed golfing with his family and friends and he
loved going to BYU football games and supporting the team.
He loved to go camping with his family. In the early years
it was in a tent and in later years he enjoyed being with
his family in the cabin at Timberlakes that he built with
the help of his sons and other family members and friends.
He was a problem solver and helped many people with advice
and counsel. Wes could fix most anything and he did. He was
always helping someone with something.
He is survived by his wife of 43 years and two sons
and three daughters: Chris and LaReesa Sherwood of Franklin,
Tennessee; Kimberly and Todd Maxwell of Washington, Utah;
James and Jody Sherwood of Pleasant Grove, Utah; Kelly and
Jared Wilks of Orem, Utah; and Kirsty and Bryan Riley of
Payson, Utah. He is also survived by sixteen grandchildren:
Mitchell, McKenzie, Meredith, and Madison Sherwood; Tabitha,
Malorie, Riley, and Baylie Maxwell; Gavin and Macy Sherwood;
Ashley, Spencer, and Andrew Wilks; Max, Lane, and Luke
Riley. Wes is also survived by his brother, Neil (Nancy)
Sherwood of Salem, Oregon; stepmother, Norma Sherwood and
stepsister, Diane (Lynn) Brough both of Nephi, Utah.
Wes was employed at BYU for 40 years, with the police
department for twenty five years and then as the managing
director of the Risk Management and Safety Department. He
served as President of the Central Utah Peace Officers
Association, Mountain West Campus Law Enforcement
Association, and the Utah Chapter of the Risk Management
Society. He also served for several years on the district
council of the Boy Scouts of America. He was an instructor
at the Police Academy and at BYU.
The family wishes to thank the residents and staff of
Courtyard at Jamestown for their love and concern during the
eighteen months that Wes and Kathy lived there; the staff
from 1ST Choice Home Health and Hospice for their help and
support during the last month of Wes' life; and especially
Dr. David Peterson for many years of loving care and support
to the family.
Funeral services were held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, August
8, 2006 in Cherry Hill 5th Ward LDS Chapel, 135 East 2000
