Jayson Eugene Brown Obituary (1983 - 2016)

12/29/1983 – 12/7/2016 Jayson Brown, beloved husband, son, grandson, brother, uncle and friend returned to his Heavenly Father unexpectedly and far too soon. Jayson was a loving, kind and tender hearted person who brought joy to everyone he interacted with. His smile was infectious and freely shared. He was a loyal friend, who loved to laugh. Jayson enjoyed time with his family, especially at Bear Lake four wheeling, boating, and snowmobiling. In October of 2014 he married the love of his life Zusette Eleodra. They were deeply in love and Jayson was never happier than when with his Mahal ("my love" in Zusette's native Tagalog). He was a caring brother to his sisters and a brother to his brothers-in-law. He loved nothing better than playing tag, wrestling and chasing with his nieces and nephews. Jayson, an Eagle Scout, enjoyed the outdoors and loved shooting and camping. He also enjoyed climbing and rappelling and especially a quick decent Aussie Style (head-first down the rappelling tower). He seemed to like jumping things whether it was on a knee board, wakeboard, motorcycle or snowmobile. He loved to play games with his family and no one could beat him at any trivia. He was an avid reader and had the ability to retain everything he read. No Google needed when he was around. Jayson loved to cook and was our own personal gourmet chef. His famous marinara and meatballs along with his pretzel rolls were always in demand. He was always in charge of the turkey at Thanksgiving. He was a registered nurse who loved helping his patients in the operating room or with their home health care. He was not only loved by his family in Utah, but his wonderful in-laws and extended family in the Philippines too. From Zusette's papa Nilo, who was always willing to be their driver anywhere and Mama Esmer who always prepared nummy meals for them, to Tatay and Nanay (Zusette's grandparents) who were so sweet to him, always bringing some local fruits or treats for Jayson to try. Sisters, Mernie(Bong) Desamito, Anne and Jez, Juju; and nephew, Cedie who were so nice to hang out with and be his translator if Zusette was not around. Everyone in his Pinoy family enjoyed being with him because he is so approachable, always smiling and so willing to try and learn new things. All of the little Filipino kids loved him too, saying "he is such a softy". Jayson is survived by his loving wife, Zusette; parents, Jay and Vernita Brown; grandmother, Beth Brown; sisters, Amy (Dustin) Duncan, Donna (Gregory) Ferrell, Kimberly (Brian) Nmezi, Haley (Jeff) Graham; four nephews, and six and three-quarters nieces.
