It was the morning of Christmas Eve when Transcript Bulletin associate publisher Clayton Dunn, controller Bruce Dunn and editor Tim Gillie pulled up to Gibb’s family home in Tooele City.
After ringing the doorbell, the door opened and they were met in the front yard of the home by Jared Gibbs, 44, his son, Jaceton and daughter, Dreya, both 17.
The oldest son, Cayden, 20, who has muscular dystrophy, had a rough night and was still asleep inside, Jared said.
Christmas is normally a joyous season, but for the Gibbs family Christmas this year was a difficult time.
Trisha Gibbs, 41, wife and mother, passed away 18 days earlier in a hospital ICU from COVID-19. She had been in the hospital for two weeks with family members unable to visit her.
