Jeffrey Allen Whitacre

In his early years, Jeff served in the United States Navy. After he transitioned from military life, he spent time working as a general manager at Pep Boys and most recently as an electronics technician for HH Gregg.

At home, he enjoyed fixing anything he could get his hands on. If anyone needed help fixing an appliance or electronic, Jeff had you covered. This was especially true when it came to cars, a passion he shared with his father. He also enjoyed spending as much time as possible in front of a grill. He loved to share his joy of cooking with others and explain the process of what he had created. When it came to hobbies, he also enjoyed woodworking and a lesser-known talent of drawing. Jeff also spent many years refining and curating the perfect home theater set up. If you were ever treated to a movie or a sporting event, you could be confident you were getting the ultimate experience. When it came to sports, he loved no team more than the Raiders. Even during the years of his life in Indiana, with the constant pressure from Colts fans to switch teams; he never relented.
