Memorial Service: 2:00 p.m. Saturday March 23, 2024 at The Church of Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 100 Paint Pony Trail North, Fort Worth TX 76108; followed by interment at Greenwood Memorial Park.
Born on February 11, 1977, in Folsom, California, Jeffrey spent his formative years embracing the values of faith, education, and service. He attended Brigham Young University (BYU) for his undergraduate studies, where he excelled academically and deepened his commitment to his faith. His time at BYU not only nurtured his intellectual curiosity but also strengthened his spiritual foundation.
Following his undergraduate studies, Jeffrey embarked on a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, in Paris, France, where he shared his faith and served the local community with compassion and humility. This experience broadened his perspective and instilled in him a lifelong passion for cultural exchange and understanding.
After returning from his mission, Jeffrey pursued his medical education at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. There, he distinguished himself as a dedicated student and emerged as a skilled and compassionate physician. His commitment to excellence in healthcare was evident throughout his career, where he touched countless lives with his expertise and kindness.
Beyond his medical practice, Jeffrey was an avid outdoorsman who found solace and joy in nature's beauty. Recently, he fulfilled his dream of relocating his family to Puerto Rico, where they embraced the island's vibrant culture and natural wonders. His adventurous spirit and love for exploration enriched the lives of those around him.
Jeffrey was a devoted family man who cherished his role as a husband and father. He is survived by his loving wife, Alyssa, their daughters, Katerina and Elizabeth, and their son, Andrew. His family was his greatest source of pride and joy, and his memory will forever be cherished in their hearts.
Active in his local church community, Jeffrey was deeply committed to his faith and actively involved in religious studies. At the time of his passing, he was teaching seminary, further exemplifying his dedication to spiritual growth and service to others.
In his entrepreneurial pursuits, Jeffrey was a visionary leader who owned multiple businesses. His innovative spirit and drive for success inspired those around him, and his entrepreneurial ventures contributed to the prosperity of his community.
Jeffrey's positivity and humor were infectious, brightening the lives of all who knew him. He had a remarkable ability to make friends easily, and his circle of friendships was vast and diverse. His laughter was a melody that echoed through the mountains, and his smile illuminated even the darkest of days.
Tragically, Jeffrey's life was cut short due to a senseless act of road rage while on a business trip in Arizona. His untimely passing has left a void that can never be filled, but his legacy of love, compassion, and resilience will continue to inspire all who knew him.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made via Venmo to "Jane-Plummer-2" for dinner arrangements after the service for his family, in his honor.
