Jeffery Alan "Jeff" Jones

Jeffery Alan Jones passed away peacefully on August 7, 2024, in Wesley Chapel, Florida, at the age of 62, after a ferocious battle with a brief illness.

Jeff was born on November 7, 1961, in St. Charles, Illinois, and spent his childhood there with his mother(Marie), father(James) and brother(Jimmy) before moving to Citrus County Florida where he finished out his school and teenage years.

Soon after graduating high school, Jeff followed in his fathers footsteps and took on a career in the boating field, spending many years traveling the world and working on barges of all kinds.

When those travels came to an end, he settled in Indiana where he ultimately met Amie, whom he would marry and start an amazing family with that included two beautiful daughters, Brianna and Bailee.

Jeff was always a man that enjoyed a challenge and lived life collecting a great vault of stories and wisdom he loved to share with anyone he ran across.

Jeff moved into a professional career in the sales of plumbing equipment where he spent many years building a great group of colleagues and friends who respected him both in and out of the professional playing field. His professional journey was marked by significant contributions in various roles within the business sector. Most recently, he served as the Business Development Manager at Max-Air Technology, a position he held for almost 3 years until his passing. Jeff loved to strive to always grow and improve as a person and found the opportunities to continue to do so through his work which he took a large amount of pride in.

Outside of his professional life, Jeff had a passion for the outdoors and various hobbies that kept him active and fulfilled. He was an avid hiker, painter, and car enthusiast. Jeff never missed a chance to get outside and soak up some vitamin D, whether in his backyard or at the beach which always had a special place in his heart. Jeff also had a special love for formula one racing and spent many years of his life going to watch and enjoy the atmosphere of the Indy 500 in Indianapolis.

Jeff was a family oriented man and recently got the opportunity of becoming a "Papa J" to his first grandson a little over a year ago. He was a strong and fierce provider for his family, while also being the sounding board and fixer of all problems for his wife and two daughters. He cherished every moment he was able to spend with the people he loved and will be missed dearly.

Jeff leaves behind a loving family who will deeply miss his presence: his wife, Amie Jones; daughters, Brianna Jones and Bailee Jones; son-in-law, Andrew Soom; and his grandson, Hendrix Riches. He was preceded in death by his parents, Marie and James Jones, and his brother, also named James(Jimmy) Jones.

Jeff will be remembered for his dedication to his family and career, his love for life, his witty humor, and the joy he brought to those around him. His legacy will live on through the lives of his family and all who knew him.

We love you dad. The memories you gave us we will cherish forever, our only regret will be we didn't get the chance to make more. From teaching us to carry on your love for the outdoors and car racing, to every lesson you bestowed upon us you were the most amazing example of what a father, man, and husband should be.
