Jay Lavere King

December 17, 1946 — September 18, 2022

Jay LaVere King, loving husband and father passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 18, 2022, surrounded by family, after a 2.5 year battle with cancer.

He is survived by his loving wife, Sailini, his sons; David and Michael, his daughters Julie, Heather and Michelle; his brothers Mike, Paul, Clair, and his sisters Janis and Kaye Anne. He was preceeded in death by his infant daughter; Rebecca.

Jay was born on Dec 17, 1946 to Norman and Venda King and raised in Lewiston, UT. He graduated from Skyview High, served a Spanish speaking mission in southern CA, graduated from Utah State with a bachelor’s degree and an MBA from the University of Utah. He married Gayle Chubbs in 1971 and they raised their family in Pleasant Hill, CA. He enjoyed being a fun father while working as a CPA and Director for PG&E in San Francisco. New employment brought him to Nevada in 1994 where he worked as CFO for several companies while finishing raising his younger children after being separated. In 2001 he met and married his eternal sweetheart, Sailini Chanboon. They remained and worked in the Las Vegas area while they enjoyed time with their 12 grandchildren. They “retired” in 2017 and moved to North Logan to be closer to his siblings, where they welcomed two more grandchildren and their first great grandchild.

Jay loved to have his children and grandchildren come visit. He had a quick wit and fun sense of humor. He loved his family and the Lord and sought to diligently serve them both. He was always generous with what he was given, loving snacks and good food and sharing what he had with others. He was a dutiful husband, father and son. He cherished his faith in God and Jesus to the end.
