He was born on March 21, 1960 in Pontiac, MI, and moved to Lorain in 1967.

Jeff was an active member of Alcoholics Anonymous, where he enjoyed helping others maintain their sobriety. He loved music, especially when he was playing.

Jeff truly enjoyed his time spent with his family, especially his grandchildren, and his friends as well.
