Jeff was born in Canton on July 18, 1983. He graduated from Canton South High School where he then pursued a career in welding and fabrication. In 2013, he started his own business and continued to share his talents all over the state of Ohio.

Jeff was more than just a son, grandson, brother, uncle and cousin, he was a beacon of unity, a loyal friend and an irreplaceable presence in our lives. His uncanny wit and infectious laugh could light up any room, and his kindness touched everyone he met. Beneath that jovial exterior was a heart of gold. Jeff was always there when it mattered most, offering silent support or a bear hug that could squeeze the sadness out of you.

Jeff, also known as a gentle giant, had an incredible ability to find joy and humor in the simplest of things. He repeatedly spread that joy to others on a daily basis. He was always available to lend a helping hand and cared so deeply for his family and friends. He loved fishing, barbecues, cornhole, gardening, four-wheeling, pool, kayaking, and playing with his beloved dogs.

Though Jeff's time with us was cut short, the impact he made will last forever. His legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched and the memories we hold dear. We will miss you terribly Jeff, and we are eternally grateful for the time we had. May your spirit guide us in all our endeavors. All our love.

In lieu of a funeral or services, the family will have a Celebration of Life in his honor, to be announced at a later date.
