Jon F Goss

Jon Fedrick Goss was called home to be with his Heavenly Father on April 24, 2026, surrounded by his sweet wife and loving family.

Jon was born May 31, 1947, in Oakland, CA, to Gerald and Elodia Ashworth Goss before moving to Lindon, UT, where he enjoyed a great childhood and proudly graduated from Pleasant Grove High School in 1965 as a Viking for Life.

Jon became an auto mechanic through trade school, a skill that served him well both in his career and during his time as an enlisted member of the United States Army. He worked at Stadium Service/Edgemont Service from 1970 until his retirement, where he made many lifelong friends. He served in an engineering battalion during the Vietnam War, helping build and repair roads and bridges. After returning stateside, he carried the loss of his brother Jef close to his heart and served in Honor Guards for fallen soldiers, taking great pride in showing respect to those who served.

In 1970, Jon married Lora Lee Shields, and together they had two daughters, Angela Dawne and Katie Maureen, while living in the same Lindon home where Jon was raised. Jon later married Gloria Carling Bullock and gained five bonus children, whom he loved and cared for as his own. He was a steady presence in his family’s lives, and they are forever grateful for the loving example he was to them. Married for 35 years, Jon and Gloria were not only husband and wife, but best friends. They showed constant love, strength, and devotion, always standing side by side and making sure the other was taken care of. Jon loved his family deeply and enjoyed supporting his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren in everything they did. He was proud of each of them and was always present, making sure they knew they were loved.

Jon had many loves outside of his family, none more than cars. He loved fixing, driving, racing, and admiring them. He raced stock cars at Suntana Raceway, loved attending car shows, and had a special spot in his heart for Rat Rods. You could usually find Jon engrossed in a good book, listening to the Beach Boys, sharing his take on a conspiracy theory, or enjoying a good hamburger. He was a proud Viking, often attending football and baseball games with fellow classmates, and was fiercely loyal to his BYU Cougars, defending them with every blue and white fiber of his body.

Jon was preceded in death by his parents, Jerry and Elodia, and his brother Jef. He is survived by his loving wife Gloria; children Angi (Dave) Snyder, Katie (Chuck) Davidson, Shauna (Tracy) Beagley, Stacy (Jeff) Hales, Lori (Marcus) Morris, Mike (Amber) Bullock, and Jenna (Sully) Sullivan; as well as 33 grandchildren, 31 great-grandchildren, his brother Eric (Yoyo) Goss, and a few cousins.

Per Jon’s wishes, there will be no public service at this time. A gathering for close friends and family will be held May 9th from 11:00–1:00 at 1222 S Nathaniel Dr, Pleasant Grove, UT 84062. A military funeral honors ceremony will be held at noon.

We love and miss you, Dad. Thank you for your quiet strength and support throughout our lives.
