Jeffrey Blood Obituary

Jeffrey Allen Blood passed away on April 23, 2022 at the age of 70. Jeff was born in Suffern, New York to Sherwood and Peggy (Margaret) Blood on September 5, 1951. They moved to California in 1954 and to Lodi in 1959. Jeff formed life long friendships while attending Woods Elementary and graduating from Lodi Union High School in 1970. Jeff began driving trucks for his uncle in Hawaii and continued driving for different truck companies, including his own, until he retired completely in 2014. He retired from Watkins Motor Lines in 1990. He also "Roadied" for numerous 70's bands and singers.
Jeff had been a member of the Moose Lodge since 1985 and loved his friends and "family" there. He also loved rock and roll music, 70's hard rock, muscle cars, fast boats, guns, and anything to do with the water. He never thought he'd live to be 40 much less 70!
Jeff is survived by his high school sweetheart, now wife, Bunny Andrade Blood; his daughters, Michelle (Chris) Arellano, Cheri (Cory) Horner and Shannon Blood; as well as grandchildren, Serena, Adam, Shelby, Jacob, Jaxen, and Jager; and more "family" friends that can be counted.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and his brother, James Mason Blood.
A celebration of Jeff's life will be held on Sunday, May 29th, 2022 at 12 noon until the party ends at the Moose Lodge, 3824 E. Woodbridge Road, Acampo.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to your favorite charity or to the Mooseheart organization in Jeff's memory.

My sympathy for the loss of your Jeff. He always had a smile and a few words when I passed by your home walking my dog. I loved seeing him with his cars and the music playing. May you rest in peace Jeff and may you be comforted by the love you shared Bunny

I was so sad to read about Jeff´s passing. I was one of the "Woods Hoods" and had the privilege of calling Jeff my friend during our years in grammar school. Unfortunately, we ran in different circles at Lodi High but when we would see each other, there was always a warm, friendly smile and a hello from Jeff. He was truly a really nice guy. The last time I saw Jeff was at our 40th reunion and it was so great to reconnect. Bunny, I know you don´t know me but believe me when I say, I know how your heart is breaking right now. I will be praying for you to take comfort in all the wonderful memories you shared with Jeff.
