Jeffrey Harold Wood

Jeffrey was born in Salt Lake City, Utah to Blanche DeWitt Wood and Gordon Stacey Wood on January 25, 1962. He was the youngest of five children. The family lived on 10th Ave. near the LDS Hospital until they moved to the Parley's Canyon area. Jeffrey graduated from Highland High School where he participated in musical groups and acted in several plays.

Jeffrey served a mission for the Church of Jesus of Latter-day Saints to Eugene, Oregon.

After his mission he started mowing lawns and landscaping. Jeffrey loved learning about trees, shrubs and flowers. He had great skills designing outdoor spaces. He worked for many years remodeling homes.

Jeffrey lived most of his life in Salt Lake City, Utah. He also enjoyed living in Hawaii with his sister for several years, where he continued landscaping and loved the tropical plants.

Jeffrey was kind and pleasant. He was loved and supported by his family and the people he associated with.

Recently he was plagued with serious health issues. We appreciate the care he was given at Logan Regional Hospital and the University of Utah Medical Center. Their interventions lengthened his life.

The last year of his life he participated in many family activities, organized our childhood family photos, enjoyed his dogs, and continued to draw and paint. 

Jeffrey passed away at Logan Regional Hospital of a fatal arrhythmia on June 29, 2024.

Jeffrey is survived by his four siblings, Gordon Wood of Logan, Utah, Rory Wood of Niskayuna, New York, Roxane Otsuka of Kaneohe, Hawaii and Stacey Miles of North Salt Lake, Utah. 

A memorial service will be held at the City View Mortuary, 1001 E 11th Avenue, Salt Lake City, Utah at 11:00 AM on July 29, 2024.

Jeffrey was cremated. His remains will be interred in a mausoleum near his mother.
