Jeff was employed with General Atomics as an Avionics Technician for 11 years. He traveled around the world during his Naval and civilian deployments. Jeff loved spending time outdoors fishing, gardening, and having get togethers (which usually involved huge bonfires and JELL-O shots). He also liked watching college football, especially The Ohio State Buckeyes and Marshall University Thundering Herd.

Jeff is survived by his wife of 30 years, Lisa Marie; daughter, Kristy Nicole (Christopher); mother, Peggy; brothers, Rick (Lisa Michelle) and Randall (Carlenea); sisters, Tammy and Christina; nephews, Bradley, Garret, and Kyle; and nieces, Kimberly (Wade), Hope, Victoria, Haydyn, and Faith.

The Family of Jeffrey wishes to extend sincere thanks to Riverside Peninsula Cancer Institute, Dr. John F. Miller’s Office and staff, and to Riverside Hospice for all their help and support.

Jeff will be cremated and taken back to Proctorville, Ohio, to be laid to rest with his father, Thomas Owen, and brother, Patrick in the Rome Proctorville Cemetery.

Rest in peace, Jeff. You always put everyone else first. Life is not fiar and I am sorry I could not take your pain away and you had to suffer the way you did. Thank you for a wonderful 30 years. I would not be who I am today without your love and support. Love you always, Lisa.
