Edwards, Weston Eyring 1934 ~ 2005 Weston Eyring Edwards, born May 13, 1934, to William F. and Catherine Eyring Edwards, passed away on September 25, 2005, at 2:30 a.m. He fought a short but valiant battle against cancer, when his mighty heart stopped beating; then, he peacefully returned to the arms of his Heavenly Father. He was a noble man, a truly loved and loving father, a spiritual giant, a brilliant academician, and an influential industry leader. He and his eternal sweetheart of fifty-one years, Jaroldeen Asplund Edwards, were sealed in life as they will be in eternity. Theirs was a truly glorious marriage! They were the parents of 12 wonderful children, 75 splendid grandchildren and the miracle of seven great grandchildren. He was born in New York City; and, at the age of 12, was admitted to a prestigious high school. He attended Brigham Young University, graduating Phi Kappa Phi, where he was elected Business Manager of the student body. He and his wife, Jaroldeen, spent two years in Dayton, Ohio, where he achieved the rank of Captain in the U.S. Air Force. Afterwards, they went to Boston, where Weston spent five years at Harvard Business School, receiving an M.B.A. and a Doctorate in Finance and Banking. He graduated first in his class at Harvard and was the Donald David Kirk Scholar and a Baker Scholar. In subsequent years, he worked in the financial industry in Chicago, New York, Dallas, and Los Angeles. He became an industry leader and consultant in the real estate and mortgage banking industry, and was nationally renowned. He was the founder and chairman of the National Housing Roundtable. He was currently teaching at the Marriott School of Management, as well as continuing his vigorous consulting business. He was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was humble, powerful in his testimony, close to the Spirit, and a great student of the scriptures. He always served with total dedication as a bishop, counselor in a stake presidency, High Priest Group Leader, and many other positions of leadership. He declared the gospel with all his might, and he was a master teacher. Members will always remember his booming bass voice in each ward choir where he sang, as well as his resounding "Amen" after every prayer. Missionary work was always close to his heart; and, one of the great joys of his life was when he and his wife served in the South African Mission (Johannesburg), where they established institutes and seminaries and fell in love with the people of South Africa. Weston and Jaroldeen were serving as temple workers at the Timpanogos Temple at the time of his death. The focus of his life was always his family. He loved his children fiercely and his abiding motto was "Make Righteousness Fun". He succeeded in making family life a great adventure for every child. He had a deep and abiding love for children. Every grandchild could not wait to run to his breathtaking embrace, and they knew they were loved unconditionally. He prayed every morning and night for every child, grandchild and great-grandchild by name. This magnificent man filled every minute of his life with meaningful labor and the Lord took him home mid-stride. All one hundred and fifteen members of his immediate posterity pray that they will follow his pure example.

She loved children, and when we were grown she obtained a librarian certificate and served as media specialist at Gramercy Elementary. She crafted professional wedding cakes for friends and family, designed quilts, tailored suits, stitched up our injured pet lamb, and mended broken hearts. Mom loved the Gospel of Jesus Christ and served in all the auxiliaries of the LDS Church. We remember her great faith in God, optimism, and love of country. She instilled these in us, along with an excitement for learning. She blessed us with her enthusiasm for literature, music, art, and everything "virtuous, lovely . . . or praiseworthy." She knew how to say "I love you," and "I'm sorry." She knew how to keep confidences and covenants. As poet Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote of the Savior, our mother is our "first, fast, last friend."
