Gerald "Gary" Lee Beard

March 13, 1945 - January 15, 2021

Gerald Lee Beard “Gary”, 75 passed away on January 15, 2021 in his home. He was born March 13, 1945 to the late Roy Edwin Beard and Dorothy Pearl Beard in Miami County, Ohio. He is survived by his partner Karen Gwyn Moritz of 16 years; two daughters, four grandchildren, and a special nephew; Jennifer Beard (Jamie Monroe - fiancé) Noah and Aspen Carroll; Kristina Daugherty (Thad) Ronin, Lyla; Joshua Jones (he treated his nephew like a son - of all things taught him to catch his first trout). He was preceded in death by one brother Dennis Dean Beard and is the last Beard in his family lineage. Gary served in the U.S. Navy. He graduated from the University of Utah with a B.S. in Fine Arts with an emphasis in Graphic Design. Gary was an avid gun, knife, coin, and stamp collector. He loved the mountains, enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting and appreciated nature. He also loved riding motorcycles. Later in his career he was on the team that installed the fountains at the Bellagio casino in Las Vegas and worked on the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios in California. No services will take place at this time. Gary will be laid to rest at the Utah Veterans Cemetery and Memorial Park in Bluffdale, Utah by Premier Funeral Services.
