Zane loved the outdoors; fly fishing and gardening were his specialties. Carving bears in his later life provided much enjoyment for himself and others, as well as many trips to the emergency room. Zane visited Brighton in the early 40's on a ski trip and he set out on a career that eventually led to the development of Brighton Ski Resort.

He was inducted into the Intermountain Ski Hall of fame in 2002 and later received the SJ Quinney Award for contributions to skiing in the Intermountain West from the University of Utah J. Willard Marriot Library. Needless to say, Zane loved the mountains, his customers and his many employees. He always took pride in working in an industry that provided fun for people, and often said that if not for the help of his many friends he could not have made a go of it. He will be missed by those friends, both young and old who had the privilege of knowing this tough old mountain man.

He was employed by Shell Oil Company in the San Francisco bay area for three years, resigning to attend St. Patrick's Seminary, Menlo Park, California. After completing studies in 1958, he was ordained a priest in the Roman Catholic diocese of Salt Lake City at the Cathedral of the Madeleine by the Most Rev. Joseph Lennox Federal, Bishop. He served the Catholic people of Salt Lake City for the next 23 years, teaching science at Judge Memorial Catholic High School and providing pastoral care to the people of Guadalupe Mission, Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, and the Cathedral of the Madeleine. During these years, he developed friendships with students and parishioners that would last all his life and be a great source of joy. Jerry was best known as an organizer of projects. Three programs that he started in the '60s survive him: Guadalupe Schools, now a pre-school through 3rd grade program for children with language and learning deficits, and an evening tutoring program for adults learning English as a second language; Utah Nonprofit Housing Corporation, a sponsor and developer of affordable multi-family housing, which, after 38 years, offers nearly 16,000 rental units to low income families and elderly and disabled people; Catholic Community Credit Union, continuing many years of credit service and counseling. One of the several projects which has not continued is the Guadalupe Center and its popular La Morena Cafe. This community center provided gathering space for Hispanic social action and the cafe offered jobs for employees and funds for projects. In 1982, Jerry resigned from his ministry in the Catholic Church. He never stated publicly his reasons for this decision. Later that year he and Carole Migden Carlisle were married by the Rt. Rev. Wesley Frensdorff, Episcopal Bishop of Nevada. His marriage to Carole and the birth of their son Isaac Marcos "Marc", born the next year, were to bring great happiness to Jerry's life. After efforts to develop an insurance and securities sales business, Jerry was invited by the Rt. Rev. Otis Charles, then Bishop of Utah, who had received him into the Episcopal Church several years earlier, to consider serving as a priest in the Episcopal Church. After time for decision and preparation, Jerry was received as a priest in 1987 at the Cathedral Church of Saint Mark by Bishop Charles. Beginning his ministry to homeless men and women in Salt Lake City, Jerry and a small staff developed The Inn, a day center for the homeless where food, clothing, emergency housing, and information on jobs and housing were provided. These efforts, after a couple of years, grew into the Lotus Project, an employment and job training program. A word about the inner dynamic of this man: He came to realize something of God's immense love for him, as for each human being. Like the mystical bride of "The Song of Songs," Jerry lived the adventure of seeking God in moments of light, when he seemed near, and in life's darkness, when he seemed to have gone away, until that day when they would find each other forever, Jerry is survived by his wife Carole and their son Marc. He is also survived by a younger brother, Dix Glenn Merrill of Centerville and by Carole's elder son, Craig William Carlisle of St. Augustine, FL. Jerry's brother Karl Rowland Merrill and his wife Mary Sweeney Merrill both died in 1993 in Fort Worth, TX; Their five children are living: Kathie Hood, M.D. of Garland, Texas; Terry d'Agustino of Columbus, Oh; Carol Kirkpatrick of Fort Worth, TX; John Merrill of Euless, Texas; and James Merrill of Westerville, Oh.-JHM In a memorial service, the Eucharist of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ will be celebrated Friday, Dec. 16, 2005 at 12:00 Noon at the Cathedral Church of St. Mark, 231 East 100 South.

She married Alexander N. Velis on September 29, 1957, at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Salt Lake City. She came to the United States in 1955 having survived the Nazi occupation of Greece and serving as a nurse during World War II.
