Jeffrey (Jeff) S. Mechlin passed away on May 22, 2020 at the age of 57. He was the beloved husband of Sharon Miller-Mechlin and devoted father of Jeffrey D. Mechlin and Jared R. Mechlin. He is also survived by his parents; Don and Joan Mechlin and his siblings; Susan Mechlin and Stephen Mechlin. He also leaves behind his four-legged, faithful companion Yippie. He will be greatly missed by numerous nieces, nephews, family members and friends. Jeff was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA where he attended William Penn Charter School and graduated from Philadelphia University. He was a very active member in the community. He was Assistant Cub Master for Pack 496 at St. Edwards School, a former board member of Green Acres Country Club, a member of STEAM at St. Edwards School and a Jefferson Parish coach at Mike Miley Playground for many years.
For those that were lucky enough to know Jeff knew he was such a giving man. He would always volunteer for anything his boys were involved in and beyond. Jeff spent plenty of time as a coach, mentor and all-around friend to everyone in the neighborhood. He had a creative mind and was intelligent beyond belief, whether he was expanding his vast computer skills or being the hand on his sons’ shoulders that guided them through school. Jeff was such a proud father and the love for his family will always shine through them. Jeff was an avid Philadelphia Eagles fan. May he now fly high with the Eagles…
