Jeffrey Robert Feller

1948 - 2016

Feller, Jeffrey Robert
67, of Phoenix, passed away on Tuesday, March 29. Jeffrey was born in Brooklyn, New York, on August 22, 1948. He grew up on Long Island, graduating from Plainedge High School in Massapequa, before continuing on to receive a degree from Boston University and then graduating from Brooklyn Law School. Shortly thereafter, he headed west to sunny Arizona, where he practiced as a personal injury attorney for nearly 40 years, retiring in May 2014. He made a tremendous impact on the lives of those he served, helping them find justice and peace through difficult times. He was an avid Phoenix Suns fan, holding season tickets for 30 years. Jeffrey loved great food- especially Italian-and listening to jazz, and traveled the world with his wife, Peggy Jackson Feller, whom he married in 1998. But his favorite times were spent with his family, particularly at the beach in California, where he owned several homes through the years, most recently close enough to dine regularly at his favorite restaurant, Splashes in Laguna Beach. Jeffrey is survived by his devoted wife, Peggy; his daughter Nicole Feller; his son Scott Feller, Scott's wife Jackie, and their daughters Emma and Lauren; his step-children Matthew and Carri Heinreich; his sister Barbara Feller Cahn, her husband Jeffrey Cahn, their sons Michael, Justin and Zachary, Justin's wife Ally, and their son James; his precious dog Samantha; and many beloved friends. He is remembered by his family and friends as a man of great integrity and generosity, with a kind heart and a smart sense of humor, and who will remain cherished in their hearts forever. Jeffrey is preceded in death by his parents, Alfred and Florence (Perlstein) Feller. A nondenominational memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 2, at 11 a.m., at the Feller home in Scottsdale, Arizona. In lieu of flowers, the family requests recognizing Jeffrey's great love for animals with a donation to the Arizona Humane Society.
