Jeromy Dale Morton Obituary (1986 - 2008)

“Jer-Bear” A teacher in all things, Jeromy effortlessly taught us by his example. We all listened when Jeromy spoke – his earnest fearlessness never failed to captivate a room. His wit and intellect were sharp, and he loved to share them both with those around him. He enjoyed serving others, and truly loved his experiences on his mission and in the Primary. Our brave “Jer-Bear” patiently endured countless hurdles on his path through this life. Despite his tribulations, his calm faith never faltered, and it seemed his glowing visage and infectious smile could brighten the gloomiest of days. On the morning of July 27th, Jeromy quietly left us with only our memories of him. Memories we will treasure always. Memories we look forward to multiplying when we meet him again. Reluctantly parted from him are his mother and father, JoLynn and Allen Morton; his aunt Annette Ray; and many other aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who are all the better for having been loved by him. Although we miss him dearly, we are certain he was joyously embraced upon his return home by his big brother, Paul Morton; his cousin, Ryan Morton; his uncle, Royit Arns; his grandma, Venetta Arns; his grandpa, Joseph Arns; his grandpa, Dale Morton; and his faithful friend, Sam.
