Jon Fred Jex

1953 – 2023

We are deeply saddened to announce the death of our father, Jon Fred Jex. He passed away on Saturday April 29, 2023, at the age of 70.

Fred was larger than life. He grew up in Provo with 8 siblings, served an LDS church mission in Ireland and later served faithfully as a bishop and stake president. He spent over 20 years serving in the Army, retiring as a Major in the Wyoming National Guard. He loved the military.

Fred worked his entire career in building and construction. He loved the outdoors and the mountains, whether backpacking with the high adventure scouts, hunting, fly fishing or riding his bike in century races.

Above all, Fred cherished his family and is survived by Denee Robinson Jex and their 5 children and families, which includes 9 grandchildren. Sjani Boggs (Ryan Boggs, children Atticus and Eleanor), Myra Jex (daughter Madisyn), Eliza Jex, David Jex (Erin Jex, children Carson, Emma and Joely), and Justin Jex (Gretchen Jex, children Lucas, Austin and Alexis).

A viewing will be held on Friday, May 5, 2023 from 9:30-10:30 am and funeral services will follow at 11:00 am, at 7250 N Porters Crossing Pkwy, Eagle Mountain, UT 84005. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Fred’s name to the Wounded Warrior Project, www.woundedwarriorproject.org.
