Dillworth Jewel Ferbrache, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, was born Feb. 26, 1933, to Ora Forest and Elsie (Wilden) Ferbrache in Bedrock, Colo. He resided for the last two years at New Horzions Care Center in Lovell, cared for by wonderful nurses and staff where he was fondly known as “Cowboy.” He returned to his Heavenly home and was reunited with the love of his life and best friend Gerry on Oct. 7, 2014.

After high school, Dill joined the U.S. Navy. He served in the Korean War and was honorably discharged. Following his military service he met his eternal companion Gearldean Green and they were sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake City Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on May 24, 1962.

Dill and Gerry were blessed with two children, Julie and Kenneth, who always brought great joy to their lives. He worked most of his life as an employee of the United States Postal Service and retired after 33 years of dedicated service. He was a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in various callings, including his favorite calling as a faithful home teacher.

Dill is survived by his daughter Julie (Donald) Nuzman of Layton, Utah, and son Kenneth (Ranee) Ferbrache of Lovell; grandchildren Katie Nuzman, Marci (Daniel) Holloman and great-grandson Luke, Emily Nuzman, Bridget (Nathan) Morgan and great-granddaughters Madison and Katelynn, K.C. (Dax) Ferbrache, Charlyn (Rustin) Myrick and Erik Ferbrache, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, step-parents, wife Gearldean (Green) and brother Jack Ferbrache.
