Jerry Schvaneveldt

SMITHFIELD- "God knew you were suffering, that the hills were hard to climb,
so He gently closed your eyelids and whispered, peace be thine. In tears we
watched you sinking, we watched you fade away -- our hearts were nearly
broken, you fought so hard to stay. It broke our hearts to see you go -- but
you did not go alone, for part of us went with you the day God called you
home."

Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, Jerry Lee
Schvaneveldt, passed away on Feb. 4, 2005, surrounded by his loving family. He
was born July 14, 1932, in Weston, Idaho, to Leland E. and Lila May Boothe
Schvaneveldt. He married his high school sweetheart, Barbara Kirkbride, on May
9, 1952, in Dayton, Idaho. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Logan
Temple.

Jerry was self-employed as a dairy farmer for many years. In 1971, he turned
his love for horses into his livelihood and began training and racing quarter
horses throughout the Western states. Jerry took great pride in his work, and
had a strong work ethic. It paid off as he was recognized as a leading trainer
who won many futurities, derbies, and stakes races. In April 2004, he was
inducted into the Idaho Horseman Hall of Fame, an award he was honored to be a
part of. Jerry managed the Double Bar S Ranch in California from 1989 to 1992.
In 1992 Jerry and Barbara moved back to Dayton and Jerry went to work for
Weathershield. In 2001, they moved to Smithfield, Utah, and in December 2003,
Jerry retired.

His family was his greatest joy and often said how blessed he was to have such
a "great bunch." Jerry had a smile and laugh that was contagious and will be
greatly missed. Jerry was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, and had served in various positions. He was a high priest in the
Smithfield 16th Ward at the time of his passing.

Jerry is survived by his wife, Barbara, daughters Reta (Les) Braker of
Smithfield, and Lesa (Marc) Hirschi of Preston, Idaho; son Monte (Bonnie)
Schvaneveldt of Romoland, Calif.; 14, grandchildren; seven
great-grandchildren; brothers Theo (Vivian) Schvaneveldt of Weston, Blaine
(Shirley) Schvaneveldt of Cypress, Calif., Sid (Charlotte) Schvaneveldt, of
Weston, Phil (Zefa) Schvaneveldt of Phoenix, Ariz., Brent (Marilyn)
Schvaneveldt of American Falls, Idaho; sisters Janeal (Bud) Stevenson of
Deweyville, Utah, Janice (Elray) Balls of Weston, Kay (Craig) Buttars of
Malad, Idaho; and many loving nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by
his parents, son Jerry Scott, brothers Gilbert, Dale, and John, and sister
Veda Austin.

Funeral services will be held at noon Tuesday, Feb. 8, at the Weston, Idaho,
LDS chapel with Bishop Ronnie Keller conducting. Friends may call from 6 to 8
p.m. Monday evening at Webb Funeral Home in Preston and again from 10:30 to

The family extends a special thanks to Alpine Hospice and Home Health for
their compassion, dedicated care and service; to Jim and IHC dialysis unit for
your untiring efforts, and especially to Dr. Russell Hirst for his years of
care and most of all his friendship. In lieu of flowers, donation may be made
to the Logan Regional Hospital Dialysis Unit.
