Jack Frost Gilbert Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Jack Frost Gilbert, age 70, loving husband, father and grandfather passed away at his home in St. George, Utah on July 28, 2014 due to complications from a stroke. Jack (Frosty) was truly a man without guile. He was unfailingly kind in every situation and touched many lives, constantly serving others in quiet unassuming ways. He was content to be in the background and didn't especially enjoy the spotlight, and appreciated everything anyone ever did for him. He was a gentle person who always had a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his lips. He had a beautiful heart and did not judge others. His capacity to love was amazing, and was loved by many in return. He loved his family and will be sorely missed by them. He was born in Murray, Utah to John A. and Geneva Frost Gilbert December 26, 1943. The family was living in Tooele at that time but soon after his birth relocated to Roosevelt, Utah where Frosty spent the first years of his life, attending elementary school in Roosevelt, Myton and Duchesne. The family lived in Arcadia, then Duchesne during his Jr. and High School years. He graduated from Duchesne High School in 1961. He served a mission for the LDS Church in Scotland, then attended BYU where he met and married Linda May Brunner May 25, 1967 in the Salt Lake Temple. Five children were born to this union. He was a graduate of LDS Business College where he received a degree in computer programming. He was offered a job at Computer Typesetting Company in Glendale, California where they moved and lived for several years. They decided to move back home to Roosevelt where he worked at McNeil Duncan Accounting. His next employment position was at the Ute Indian Tribe in Ft. Duchesne, Utah where he worked as a computer programmer for several years, and was respected and treated fairly by the Ute Indian Tribe Business Committee. In March of 1980 he was named "Employee of the Month" there. Frost has always been active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, holding many positions- everything from executive secretary to scout Cub Master.
