Jeffry Foster Obituary
GREAT FALLS —Jeffry Morgan Foster, 33, of Great Falls, was taken from this earth on September 30, 2015.
A memorial service was held on Saturday, October 3, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. O'Connor Funeral Home handled the arrangements.
Jeff was born November 12, 1981 in Missoula, Montana, to Rod and Karen Foster and was raised in Whitefish. He was a 2000 graduate from Whitefish High School and received his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Montana-Western and his Law Degree from the University of Montana, School of Law.
He was many things to many people: Dad/Rad, Husband, Son, Brother, Elk Slayer, Super Lawyer and most of all, Friend. He had a heart of gold and would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. He fell in love with his beautiful wife when their eyes locked in Dillon, Montana, in 2004, and they married in 2007. As they say, the rest is history. Together they have three beautiful children: Keilen, Grady and Ella Grace. He was the most amazing father and husband anyone could ever imagine.
When he wasn't conquering the legal world, he was busy spending time with his family and friends and enjoying everything that Montana had to offer. From the Big Hole Valley to the shores of Flathead Lake to the mountains of Libby, Jeff loved it all and was proud to call Montana home.
Jeff is survived by his wife, Lane Foster of Great Falls; his three children, Keilen, Grady and Ella Grace; parents, Rod and Karen Foster; grandfather, Vern Hoskins; grandmother, Virginia Foster; brother, Rod (Heather) Foster; Jim and Amy Gilden and Family; along with numerous nieces, nephew, aunts, uncles, cousins and too many friends to count.
He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Rodney Foster, Sr. and his grandmother, Ann Hoskins.
Rest peacefully my love among the angels.

I just learned of Jeffry's passing today. He represented me in a case and I truely felt God or some work of the Divine had set him in my path for that. He was awesome at what he did and I am so devastated to learn of his loss today. My condolences to his family. I will never forget Jeff Foster for being there during a time of fear and confusion in my life.

A very valiant person. Did not know him, but was following one of his cases from Rocky Boy's reservation. A brilliant mind with legal integrity. Attorneys like that are very few and far between. My heart felt condolences to his family.

Rod and family, I am so sad for your loss. May you find peace in knowing how many wonderful things are being passed on about your brother Jeffry.

I didn't know Jeff well, but we worked a case together when I was county attorney and he was defense attorney, and he was hands down the most cordial and kind opposing counsel I ever worked with, while still advocating very effectively for his client - probably moreso by being so decent and friendly in his interactions with me. I can only imagine what kind of person he was in his life outside the law based on his behavior as an attorney, and I grieve for his wife, children and all his loved ones at having lost him far too soon. May his family find comfort in their memories of him and some measure of peace; so very, very sorry for your loss!

I'm so sorry for your loss. This is very sad news but I have nothing but great memories of professor Foster. He was a great teacher and even better person. He will be greatly missed!

My heart aches for you Lane, and your beautiful babies. Jeff was such a funny, unique, kind guy in law school. He was so in love with you & proud to be your husband. He invited me over for dinner in Great Falls one night during a very tough year for me personally. He gave me a simple pep talk: "You're gonna be alright, Crane-o, you know that, right? You're gonna be just fine, kid." I desperately needed that talk. He was the very definition of a Montana kid and his big hugs will never be forgotten.

Was so sad to hear this. I didn't know Jeff super well but at Western we all knew each other. I always remember him challenging professors with intelletual banter in classes. Just very sad for his cute family and know you are in my prayers. Western lost a good alumni. Rip Jeff.
