Jerad Lawrence Hatch, 39, of Victor, passed away on Wednesday, January 15, 2014, in Sparks, Nevada of natural causes.

He was born January 25, 1974, to Rick and Sharon Hatch on the Mountain Home Airbase. Sharon and Jerad were later joined with Raymond Nethercott and they proceeded to live in the Teton Valley.

Jerad graduated from Teton High School in 1992. He went on to become a very skilled equipment operator in the Teton Valley and Jackson, Wyoming areas.

Jerad was a loving, caring guy who would go out of his way for anyone. When he asked a person, "How are you?", he wasn't making small talk, he meant it.

He will be missed and will leave an empty spot in many peoples lives, but his memory will forever be with us. We love you, Jerad!

He is survived by his parents, Raymond and Sharon Nethercott of Victor and Rick Hatch of Nevada; his brother Jason (Sara) Nethercott; sister, Amanda Nethercott; a niece, Kenzie, who was the biggest joy in Jerad's life; a nephew Tommy; grandparents, Nita Bainbridge, Elli Rule, Afton Nethercott and Jack Hatch.
