Jeffrey Page Edwards

Jeffrey Page Edwards died peacefully in his sleep on March 11, 2026, while on a trip to Louisiana at the age of 62. Jeff was born in Provo, Utah, on February 27, 1964, the third of six children born to Jesse Wayne Edwards and Mary Margene Page. He was raised in Hurricane, Utah, where he graduated from Hurricane High School in 1982. After high school, Jeff moved to Rexburg, Idaho, to attend Ricks College. During the fall semester of his freshman year, he met his future wife, Catherine Sue Malone. In February 1983, Jeff accepted a call to serve an 18‑month mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‑day Saints. Although he was originally called to serve in Mérida, Mexico, visa issues prevented him from fulfilling that assignment. While at the Missionary Training Center, he was reassigned to Montevideo, Uruguay, where he served faithfully. Following his missionary service, Jeff enrolled at Brigham Young University, where he majored in Spanish. After seven years of friendship, he and Cathy were married for time and all eternity on August 12, 1989, in the St. George Utah Temple. After graduation, Jeff and Cathy settled in San Antonio, Texas. They often told the story that they decided to move to Texas, chose San Antonio from their road atlas, and took a leap of faith. There they raised their two children, Zachary Malone Edwards and Catherine Page Edwards. Jeff devoted his professional life to helping others. He earned a Master of Social Work degree from Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, Texas, and later became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. He spent his professional career as a social worker in the Southwest Independent School District, where he worked closely with students and families and was known for his compassion, patience, and sincere desire to help people through difficult circumstances. In addition to his work in schools, Jeff also served as a licensed therapist. Faith and service were central to Jeff’s life. A devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‑day Saints, he served faithfully in many callings, including as a bishop. The Savior was his north star, and his family was the rest of the constellation that oriented his life. Music was another lifelong love. Jeff began learning to play the piano at age four and enjoyed teaching music to others. For many years he served as the organist in his ward, using his musical talents to bless those around him. Jeff loved traveling—especially road trips with carefully planned itineraries. He enjoyed journaling, making lists, and organizing the details of family adventures. In recent years, he had the wonderful opportunity to travel internationally with Page and her family. He was also a loyal supporter of Brigham Young University sports—especially football. He was passionate about attending games all over the country with the whole Edwards clan. When watching from home, he and Zach would spend hours on the phone analyzing and dissecting every play. Throughout the game, they would sometimes hang up on each other if one was feeling too pessimistic about the outcome, only to call back a minute later. In his later years, Jeff found his greatest joy in being a grandfather. His grandchildren brought him immense happiness. He was lovingly known as “Jeffy” to Auburn and Lillian and “Nandaddy” to Jowan. Being their grandfather was one of the great joys of his life. He loved serving his grandchildren by buying treasures for them, planning trips, talking on the phone for hours, and sending them videos, treats, and presents just because. Of all the titles and roles he held in life, he would say his favorite was being Cathy’s husband. Their love and friendship were great blessings throughout Jeff’s life and will endure beyond the veil. Jeff will be remembered for his kindness, his quiet devotion to serving others, his love of music and learning, and the deep love he had for his family. He will be missed by Cathy; Zachary and his wife Kelly and their daughters Auburn and Lillian; Page and her husband Ryan and their son Jowan; and his mother‑in‑law Sue. A Graveside Service will be Saturday, March 28th, 2026, at 11:00 A.M. at the Hurricane Cemetery 225 E 600 N, Hurricane, UT 84737. With a viewing one hour prior to the service at the Hurricane Red Brick LDS Chapel 274 S 100 W, Hurricane, UT 84737 .
