Jerold John “Jerry” Kasha, 89, passed away peacefully on May 13, 2026, in Mapleton, Utah. He was born on February 17, 1937, in Ohio to John and Mary Kasha. Jerry spent much of his life in North Hollywood, where he built a life centered around family, hard work, faith, and the hobbies he loved most.
On October 26, 1956, Jerry married the love of his life, Naomi Kasha, in North Hollywood. Together they shared nearly seven decades of marriage, building a strong and loving family along the way.
Jerry graduated from North Hollywood High School and began a long career with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, where he worked as a journeyman lineman for more than 42 years. He was known for his dedication, dependability, and unwavering work ethic throughout his career.
Jerry loved the simple joys of life — motorcycles, fast cars, guns, waterskiing, and spending time doing the things that made him feel alive. He had a strong spirit, a sharp mind, and a quiet strength that left a lasting impression on everyone around him.
Above all else, Jerry loved his family. He is survived by his beloved wife Naomi, his 3 children Laura, Jeffrey and Linda, 10 grandchildren, and 19 1/2 great-grandchildren who will continue to carry his memory forward.
He will be remembered for his strength, loyalty, sense of adventure, and deep love for his family. His legacy will live on through the many lives he touched over the years.
He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
A visitation will be held in Jerold’s honor on Monday, May 18, 2026 from 9:30 – 10:45 a.m. at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints located at 1068 South 1600 West, Mapleton, Utah.
