Rinald "RJ" Jolley Obituary (1986

RJ (Rinald) Wayne Jolley was born on May 22, 1986 in Provo, UT to Rinald D Jolley and Cathy M Pace. To know RJ was to love him. He was always a light in anyone’s darkness, even his own, and a safe space to share anything and feel loved. RJ never met anyone that he didn’t see kindness or goodness in. He will be missed by our family and so many others. RJ enjoyed time outdoors including camping, golfing, and playing with his kids. Spending time with family and friends was always a highlight for him. He also enjoyed downtime with the kids watching TV or playing video games. He loved TMNT, the San Francisco 49ers, the Colorado Rockies, Mtn Dew which later turned to Diet Dew, good food but not many sweets. RJ and Deborah met their junior year of high school. They were married in 2004 shortly after their senior year. Five years later, in 2009 they were sealed for time and all eternity. RJ worked hard in pursuing his education over the years. Gaining knowledge and his degrees was very important to him. He earned his MBA in 2018 while he continued to work full time to provide for his family. RJ loved serving everyone he knew. He held many callings in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from Ward Clerk to Bishopric Counselor that provided him with many opportunities to serve more fully. After he was released from the Bishopric, he was called to help Deborah in the nursery which he endured for just a few months. RJ passed away on July 25, 2023. He is survived by his wife, Deborah, his children, Rinald M, Hunter, Bridger, Dominic and Peyton as well as many, many family members. RJ was preceded in death by his grandma, Dianna Jolley, grandpa, Melvon Parry and mother-in-law, Jane Smith. RJ is loved by everyone who knew him and he will be missed terribly!
