Jack Searle

Jack Duke Searle, 76, of Manila, Utah passed away at his home on November 15, 2025.

Jack was born May 4, 1949 in Vernal Utah to Lester J and Grace Duke Searle. He is the youngest of 8 siblings. Jack served in the Army with distinction and a great love for freedom. After serving in the army he spent many years driving truck.

He loved fishing, hunting, building things, woodwork, looking for fossils, and sharing with others. He spent a lot of time in the mountains and loved cutting and chopping wood. He not only loved heating his home with fires, but often gave firewood to others. While wood working he created tables, chairs, log bedframes, cutting boards and many other items. He put many hours of love into these projects.

Jack had a strong relationship with Jesus Christ. One scripture he loved and shared was Philippians 4:13. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” He had to deal with a lot of health issues and other struggles throughout his life and that scripture helped him through. He often visited not only the LDS church of which he was a member, but other denominations as well.

Jack is survived by his children Dustin Searle, JaiDe Searle, Brian Searle, Kelly Schulte and Grace Searle along with some cute grandsons! He is also survived by his sister Loa Chantland. Interesting note is that they shared birthdays 11 years apart. He was preceded in death by his parents and his siblings Carl Searle, Nyla Short, Bonnie Jensen, Max Searle, Erla Peterson, and Rex Searle.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Lindquists in their Community Center at 3434 Washington Blvd in Ogden, Utah on December 13, 2025 starting at noon with Military Honors.

Jack, you will be greatly missed until we meet again.
