Richard Cutler 

Jan. 2, 1952 ~ Oct. 23, 2012

Richard Cutler (aka Jerome), age 60, was born January 2, 1952 in Salt Lake City, but celebrated his birthday most of his life on April 1st each year, showing his wry sense of humor. He graduated from Olympus High and the University of Utah and then headed to Los Angeles to attempt to break into the music industry. He returned to Salt Lake several years ago. He loved to sing and was known for his karaoke and stand-up comedy in California and Utah clubs. He recently published a book, "Fence Hopping", which focused on his memories of growing up in the 1950's.

Survived by his parents, Paul and Norma (Headlee) Cutler, sisters Becky Cutler-Gunn and Julie Conkle, both of Salt Lake City, brothers David (Theresa) of Keller, Texas and James (Stephanie) of Seattle, Washington, many nieces, nephews and cousins, aunts and uncle.

His family will be celebrating his life at a private event. For family contact, please go online at the Salt Lake Tribune. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Fire Fighters Association of Utah.
