It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Jeffery Brian Sykes, who left us unexpectedly on September 24, 2025, at the age of 55, following a sudden cardiac event in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Born on May 4, 1970, in Whittier, California, Jeff is survived by his loving parents, Wanda and Gary Roth of Pennsylvania; his brother Timothy Sykes, wife Caitlin, and their children Colin and Clare of California; and his sister Jennifer Jones and her children Eleanor and Bennett of Pennsylvania.
Seven years ago, Jeff embarked on a new chapter in life when he moved from California to Scottsdale and began a career in Estate Planning, Wills, and Trusts. With hard work, determination, and the support of his colleagues, he built a successful and fulfilling practice that reflected his drive to help others secure their futures.
Beyond his professional achievements, Jeff was a man of many passions. He was a lifelong Raiders football fan, an enthusiast of firearms, politics, investment strategies, and fitness, and someone who approached every interest with intensity and precision. Earlier in his life, he was a journeyman mold maker and the owner and operator of a health supplement store, demonstrating his entrepreneurial spirit and strong work ethic.
Jeff's dedication, loyalty, and enthusiasm for life left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and colleagues.
