Jeffrey Stead Obituary

Jeffrey Allen "Jeff" Stead passed away on January 28, 2025, at his parents' home in Lakewood, Colorado.
Jeff is survived by his son, Oliver Stead; his brother, Marc Stead; his parents, Karen and Paul Bryant; his ex-wife, Bess Dahmash; and his longtime companion, Carrie Tilley.
Jeff grew up in the mountains outside Denver, attending schools in Conifer and Evergreen. He spent his adult years living and working along the I-70 corridor, from Loveland to Idaho Springs. He formed many cherished friendships while working at Loveland Ski Area and Tommyknocker Brewery in Idaho Springs. Jeff and Carrie also owned and operated the "Oink" food truck in Idaho Springs for several years, serving up great food and creating lasting memories with friends and customers.
An avid outdoorsman, Jeff loved fishing, hiking, hunting, and snowboarding. He was also a devoted Denver Broncos fan. While he treasured his family and friends, he absolutely cherished his son, Oliver, above all else.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, March 1, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Rocky Mountain Villages, 2644 Alvarado Rd, Empire, Co 80438. This is located in the Easter Seals Camp just north of Georgetown. Directions can be found online by searching "Rocky Mountain Villages." A light lunch will be provided, and all are welcome to attend.
Jeff was known for his kindness, generosity, and deep compassion for both people and animals. He was a supporter of the local animal shelter, Charlie's Place. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in his memory to friendsofcharliesplace.org.
His warmth and spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
