He was born July 6, 1955 in Canton, Ohio to the late Jack Caygill and Julia (Maurer) Regula. Jeff was a 1973 graduate of Jackson High School and earned a B.A. at the University of Akron. He was president of Perry Driving School in Massillon, OH, and was a member of Canton Baptist Temple. Jeff was an avid history buff and was well-versed about the information. He enjoyed his opportunity to study in France and majored in French. He enjoyed his memorabilia from his travels, 70's music, Bach, car shows, watching Cleveland Guardians games, and the Jeopardy Game Show. Quite the traditionalist, he never missed acknowledging a birthday or event, and treasured family celebrations and holidays.

He is survived by his sister, Janine (John) Santora; step-brother, Stan (Margaret) Regula; niece, Jennifer (Brion) Johnson; nephew, John (Cara) Santora, Jr.; step-nieces, Clara Regula, and Helen Regula; great-nieces, Madeline Walton, Emma Santora, and Grace Santora; great-nephews, Jacob (Kali) Walton, and Gavin Santora; two aunts and cousins.
