Jeff spent much of his younger years helping at the family music store in Escanaba with his brothers. Eventually he managed Iron Mountain and most recently Marquette locations. Jeff loved life and new experiences. He enjoyed reading, working on cars, attending music festivals, hiking, and walking his dog, Apollo. He enjoyed trying new foods and was especially fond of dill pickles. Jeff lit up a room with his smile and sense of humor. He had a generous heart, listened with love and spoke with sincerity. He was always willing to lend a hand to those in need and he donated his life saving organs as his final gift.

Please pray for the healing of addiction for all struggling with the disease.
