Enhrenburg, Arizona - Jeff Gaither was born in Pomona, California and moved to Boise, Idaho in 1972. Jeff graduated from Borah High School in 1977. He passed away peacefully in his home in Ehrenburg, Arizona on August 17, 2021. Jeff Gaither is survived by his son, Josh Gaither, his father, Thomas Gaither, brothers, Michael Gaither, Andrew Gaither, and sisters, Susan (Martin) Goffin, Jean (Jeff) Bishop and Karen, (Loren) Schwarzhoff.

Although his demons sometimes got the better of him, his love of his family and friends always shined through. Jeff always took pride in his football. You could catch him on Sundays yelling "Go Hawks!". Love and kisses, always!
