Jeffrey Zahn

Jeffrey Bard Zahn: February 7, 1950 - January 6, 2026 On behalf of my sons Michael and William, Jeff´s brother Michael and his wife Debby and his sister Tina, thank you so much for sharing this time with us. By our family standards, Jeff died young. His grandmother lived to be 99, and both of his parents, to age 90. Somehow, I thought that we too would be together into our 90´s. Especially since Jeff bested the odds of his first cancer, diagnosed over 20 years ago. But he lived to...

Cathy and family Randy and I are so very sorry to hear that Jeff has died. I remember him being so very smart in school and of course being in my all time favorite band The Peasants! I hope all your wonderful memories eventually bring a few smiles as you think about them. Thinking of you, Barb

Mike Zahn Eulogy for his Brother Jeffrey I´m Jeff´s younger brother. According to our grandmother, I once declared that "my brother Jeff is the greatest guy in the world."

Condolences to Cathy Zahn, so sad to hear of classmates passing. And to his sister Christine (Tina) ,sorry to here of your loss also.

Eulogy from Tom Schank Memorial Ceremony January 18, 2026 Jeff and I met in first grade. We shared classes in every grade through elementary school. In high school, we took most of the same courses. Although Jeff and I often played with the same group of friends at recess in the early years, there was no contact outside of school events. Jeff lived in town and I was a farm boy. We sometimes sat next to each other - which led to snickering and disruptive comments that we were sure...

Remarks from Cremation Ceremony In 1980, I stumbled upon this valentine card: `We´re a matchless pair´. Over the next 45 years, I pulled it out annually...and Jeff would roll his eyes, or say something like `give it a rest,´ but I didn´t. 25 years ago when Jeff got the diagnosis of his first cancer, His surgeon, Carol Swallow, asked him what his goals were. With no hesitation, he said `I want to live as long as possible.´ Paraphrasing Bruce Springsteen, he wanted all the time, and all...

My condolences to Cathy and sons. Jeffrey was one of the good guys. May he Rest in Peace.
