Jeff was born on September 30, 1956 in Cleveland, OH. and passed away on October 1, 2020. A Northeast area resident most of his life, he graduated from Ledgemont High School in 1974 and married his high school sweetheart, Loretta, on October 8, 1977. Upon, graduation from high school, Jeff proudly served in the United States Army. He enjoyed lifting, playing the guitar, riding his motorcycle, and earned his 2^nd Degree Black Belt. Jeff also liked listening to the Beatles, Elvis, and any 70’s music. He was a die-hard Browns fan, but it was his family and grandchildren that gave him the most enjoyment in life. In his last months of life, the one thing that could always make him smile was his grandkids. Jeff relished the days he took his sons golfing and deer hunting, as well as those in the summer that he spent taking the family on camping trips. He was reserved yet funny (always cracking a dad joke), honest, and hardworking. The bravest man who was never afraid to show his tender side. It is for all these things that he will be dearly missed.

U.S. Army Veteran.
