Scott Drew Perry, 67, passed away Dec. 3, 2021, holding his beloved wife’s hand and surrounded by his family.

Scott was born March 15, 1954, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Gail Howard Perry, Jr. and Patricia Maurine Perry. Scott was the second oldest of 5 children: Grant, Jeff, Cindee, and Todd. Scott graduated from Kearns High School in 1972, where he lettered in football, baseball, and wrestling. He served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Montana Billings Mission. He then married his high school sweetheart, Terah Lynn Bowen, on May 29, 1975, in the Salt Lake City Temple. Scott is survived by his loving wife, Terah, four children, Jacob (Anita), Drew (Amanda), Gail, and Teleena (Bill), and 11 grandchildren.

Scott served in many callings in the church including Young Men’s President, High Councilman, and as a Bishop. Scott served as a police officer for the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office for nearly 30 years, where he held multiple assignments including detective, field training officer, school resource officer, and his favorite position as part of the motor squad. Scott loved going with his family to their property in Tabiona, Utah. He also enjoyed fishing, hunting, shooting and, in his later years, leather working. But most important of all to him was spending time with his wife, children, and grandchildren.

Family and friends are invited to a funeral service to celebrate his life at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints chapel located at 2901 W. 9000 S., West Jordan, Utah, on Thursday, Dec. 9, 2021, at 4:00 p.m.
