A 4th generation farmer, Jeff enjoyed the quiet farm life. His hobbies included bowling and building and showing cars. His pride and joy was a 1923 Roadster and a 1932 3-window Ford coup, both of which he built from the ground up, and won several awards showing them.
Jeff was preceded in death by his father Calvin. He is survived by his wife Linnie, his mother Lois, two sisters; Lana (Dan) Carnevale and Tana (Riche) Locke, his brother Brad (Lizette) Johnson, and many nieces and nephews.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
