LTC (ret) Jeffrey Roger Luques

He leaves behind his wife Linda of 54 years who he met in college, his 2 devoted daughters, Melanie and Beth, his amazing son-in-law Stephen Mallinson, and his precious granddaughter Evie.

He was preceded in death by his parents Donald and Mary Lou, his brothers Mike and Jack and brother-in-law Bruce Johnson.

Jeff was Born into a military family; his Father was a career Army officer & his Uncle Jack was a prisoner of war in the Pacific during WWII. Jeff followed their lead serving 23 years in the Army followed by a 15 year career at Reichhold Chemical Company in the Research Triangle.

During retirement Jeff lived an active life playing golf with his buddies, flying radio controlled airplanes with friends in the RDRC Club and taking memorable trips with his family.

When his life was cut short with a terminal illness, he fought hard and he and his family were so appreciative of the nurses and doctors who supported and cared for him.

He was our rock, the strong foundation of our little family, and we are so grateful for his many years of a healthy life.

Visitation will be at Brown-Wynne Funeral Home on Sunday, October 18 from 4 - 6 p.m. and his life will be celebrated at a later date in Augusta, Georgia where he and Linda were married.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that you consider a donation to Transitions LifeCare in Raleigh or First Tee, a program that promotes character and values in young people through the game of golf.
