Jeffrey Cranor

Jeffrey Stephen Cranor II, 34, passed away on December 22, 2025, in Wichita, Kansas. Born on August 27, 1991, in Wichita, Jeffrey brought energy, humor, and heart to every space he entered.

From an early age, Jeffrey was captivated by the inner workings of machines and technology. His quick learning and passion for electronics and mechanics was evident in his love for computers and 3D printing. Whether building something new or repairing what others thought beyond saving, he approached each project with curiosity and enthusiasm. His technical knowledge was vast, and he generously shared it with others—leaving behind not only memories but also skills and insights that continue to benefit those who learned from him.

Jeffrey's personality was vibrant and unforgettable. Outgoing and fearless in expression, he had a remarkable ability to light up any room. He lived joyfully and unapologetically, always ready with a joke or a bold gesture to spark laughter. His humor and magnetic presence made him a beloved friend to many.

He is lovingly remembered by Shelby Claycomb; his sons Elliott Claycomb and Archer Cranor; his mother Patricia (Jim) Srock; his father Jeffrey (Sydney) Cranor; and his grandmother Stella Cooley. He also leaves behind many brothers and sisters—both by blood and by bond—who were part of the extended family he built through connection and love.

Jeffrey was preceded in death by his grandfather Robert Cooley, grandmother Sherry Cranor and grandfather Kenneth Cranor

A celebration of Jeffrey's life will take place in Derby, Kansas on January 7, 2026.

His memory lives on through the countless stories shared by those who knew him best—the laughter he inspired, the lessons he taught, and the warmth of his generous spirit. May his memory bring comfort to all who carry it forward.
