Jay H. Utter Memorial
Donation protected
On 4/13/2019 we lost our husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, son, nephew, and friend. He went peacefully in the comfort of his childhood home surrounded by his loved ones.
Jay lived on the same property for majority of his life. Before residing in the home he spent his last days in, he lived in the small one-bedroom cottage that is also on the property. Later, the cottage served as one of the ways that he would provide for his family by renting it out. A few months back around the holidays, the cottage was damaged due to a fire starting and smoldering out. Jay hoped to one day get better and fix the cottage to livable conditions.
We have started this gofundme page in hopes of carrying out one of his last wishes in addition to helping his wife Elizabeth "Beth" with the added financial burdens of his passing.
