Jeff was born in Elkins, WV and is a proud graduate of Elkins High School (Class of 1984). He worked for Pike Electric Corporation for more than 25 years and has spent the last 7 years working for Duke Energy.

Jeff married the love of his life, Patricia Gail, on December 16, 1990. Jeff was a devoted husband and father; nothing was more important to him than his family.

Jeff truly had a servant’s heart and impacted so many people during his time here on Earth. As everyone who knew him can attest, Jeff would do anything to help his family, his friends, or even strangers. He loved to tinker with, repair, and generally “mess around” with anything that would get his hands dirty - always with a song on his lips.
