Gerald Johnson Argyle passed away on March 7, 2021 surrounded by his family. He was eighty-four years old.

Gerald was born May 14, 1936 in Spanish Fork to Lola Hannah Johnson and Clarence Cowan Argyle. He married Phyllis Swenson on February 19, 1958 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They were recently blessed to celebrate their sixty-third wedding anniversary.

Gerald was a beloved husband, brother, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and uncle. He grew up in Spanish Fork and met his sweetheart and future wife, Phyllis, while he was a senior in high school and Phyllis was in ninth grade.

Gerald served in the U.S. Army as a Staff Sargent and was stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington. He also served in the Utah National Guard.

Gerald was a dedicated Utah Jazz fan who rarely missed watching any games. He also enjoyed taking care of cars and trucks and kept his 1948 International truck throughout his life. His favorite activities always involved being with family whether during times of work, trips to the family cabin or second home in St. George. Gerald was also an avid gun collector throughout his life.

Gerald developed skills of wood working at an early age and eventually became a general contractor, building many beautiful custom homes throughout the Wasatch Front area. He and his family also built a family cabin up Fairview Canyon near Gooseberry Reservoir. Gerald and Phyllis along with family members and friends spent forty-two years enjoying the Argyle family cabin, creating many lifelong memories.

Gerald is a lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served the Lord throughout his life in both ward and temple callings.

Gerald is survived by his wife, Phyllis Argyle; four children, Clark (Gena) Argyle of South Jordan, Kent (Lesa) Argyle of Bluffdale, Paul Argyle of South Jordan, and Sueann (Gavin) Jangard of Spring Creek, Nevada; ten grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Clair and Clarence “Sox”; sisters, Lorna and Laurell; and three great-grandchildren.
