Jeffrey G. Bohan

Lafayette - Jeffrey G. Bohan, 62, of Lafayette passed away Sunday, January 3, 2021 at Franciscan Health, St. Elizabeth East in Lafayette.

He was born November 5, 1958 in Lafayette to the late Robert F. and Mary Annabelle (Gunter) Bohan. He was a graduate of Lafayette Central Catholic High School, where he participated in wrestling and held the record for "fastest pin" for several years. On February 21, 1998, Jeff married the love of his life and best friend, Jennifer L. Elliott at St. Ann's Catholic Church in Lafayette and she survives. Jeff worked as a Production Supervisor at the Kirby Risk Service Center.

He was a devoted member of St. Ann's Catholic Church in Lafayette and was a former 4th degree Knight of Columbus. He was also a member of the St. Ann's Men Club and was involved with the planning and organization of the annual "Fish Fry". Football season was his favorite season and he enjoyed tailgating at Purdue Football games, watching the Chicago Bears, New Orleans Saints, and especially Central Catholic High School where his son is the manager. He also enjoyed building and working with his hands. He would start out with a simple project and the finished product would be an elaborate beauty. One of his goals (as well as the goal of his siblings) was to beat his mother at cards. There were many nights they would sit playing cards and the competition could be heard down the block. Jeff never knew a stranger and always had a smile for everyone. However, above all things, Jeff cherished the time spent with his son, Jacob and his wife, Jennifer. He will be missed so much!

Along with his wife, he is survived by his son, Jacob Matthew; siblings, H. Denny (Rosemary) Bohan of Dowling, MI, Shannon (Mike) Silver of Lafayette, Coleen (Ray) Wilson of Lafayette, Robert (Marjorie) Bohan Jr. of Lafayette, Brent (Jenny) Bohan of Granger, Kyle (Lisa) Bohan of Las Vegas, NV, Amy (Don) Wentzel of Fishers, and Barbara (Steve) Ralston of AZ; and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded by his parents, Robert and Annabelle Bohan; his father-in-law, Melvin K. Elliott; and several aunts and uncles.

Memorial contributions in Jeffrey's name may be given to "One in the Spirit Fund" to support the Lafayette Catholic Schools or to the American Diabetes Association.

At times Jeff and my desks were back to back. We had totally different coaching skills but I respected him as a coworker and friend.

My sincere condolences to Jennifer & Jacob. You both was his world! May the Lord wrap his arms around you both.

Jeff was the greatest supervisor & friend. I will never forget him! I won't ever forget his greetings every morning to gather up for dept meetings! GOOOOOOOOD MORNING WIRESETS!!! And his humor during exercises! Full of spirit even on not so good days. Very appreciative boss, I'd bring him a black coffee sometimes from McD's. That twinkle in his eyes when he'd smile. Jeff always had faith in his people. Always giving people chances. I'll miss his sense of humor & laugh.
I'm so heartbroken. It doesn't feel real.
Jeff was definitely loved by many!
The Lord gained an Angel!
FLY HIGH BOSS MAN! I WILL MISS YOU!!!

I started at Kirby Risk 7 years ago. Every morning Jeff would tell GOOD MORNING WIRESETS! It didn't matter what kind of mood we were in, we would all smile & laugh, no matter how many times we had heard it. I had the pleasure of sitting next to him for a time & he drug me to his meetings. He was the best Boss I ever had. When they told us that he had passed yesterday, there wasn't a dry eye in the room. We may have lost you Jeff Bohan, but God gained an Angel ♥

I will miss Jeff greatly. With his huge "grumpy teddy bear" personality he was so much fun to be around, and he got things done. I found myself seeking out his knowledge many times. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

JEFF WAS ALWAYS THERE TO SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO DO THEIR BEST AT THEIR JOB. HE BELIEVED IN THEM EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE IN THEIR SELF. I ALWAYS ADMIRED THAT ABOUT JEFF, ALONE WITH HIS WONDERFUL SENSE OF HUMOR. I WILL MISS HIM VERY MUCH. MY HEART IS BROKEN AND I PRAY FOR YOU AND JACOB TO BE STRONG THROUGH THIS. TAKE CARE JENNIFER. GOD BLESS.
