Jeffrey Kaminski

Jeffrey "Jeff" Kaminski, 76, passed away on May 28, 2025, in Raleigh, North Carolina. Born on February 27, 1949, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Jeff lived a life marked by adventure, dedication to his work and family, and a generous spirit that touched all who knew him.

Jeff graduated from Bishop Shanahan High School in West Chester, Pennsylvania in 1967. He went on to earn his degree from Marquette University in Milwaukee in 1971. His professional journey began shortly thereafter with Agway Gas Propane Energy Products. In 1998, he joined AmeriGas at their headquarters in Exton, Pennsylvania. Over the years, Jeff rose through the ranks to become Corporate Development Director. His role took him across Europe and included several years living in Austria-an experience that deepened his love for travel and broadened his global perspective.

In addition to his corporate achievements, Jeff served as a board member for ACG Philadelphia from 2010 to 2011. He retired from AmeriGas in July 2013 after a distinguished career marked by leadership and innovation.

Jeff's adventurous spirit extended well beyond the office. He traveled extensively with his wife Irene and their children, creating cherished memories across continents. A passionate sailor, Jeff embarked on numerous sailing excursions with friends to various islands-each voyage a testament to his love of exploration and camaraderie.

Family was at the heart of Jeff's life. He is survived by his beloved wife Irene Kaminski; son Matthew Kaminski and his wife Arilyn; daughter Sarah Bracher and her husband Reid; grandchildren Cameron and Oliver Kaminski and Lilly and Kaycie Bracher; siblings Gail Manna, Mary Samulak, and Jack Kaminski. He was predeceased by his parents Raymond and Frances Kaminski.

Jeff was known for hosting joyful holiday gatherings that brought together generations of family members under one roof. His warmth made everyone feel welcome; his generosity left lasting impressions; and his sense of fun made every occasion memorable.

A man of integrity and kindness, Jeff will be remembered not only for his accomplishments but also for the way he made others feel-valued, heard, and loved.

May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him. A Funeral Mass will be held on July 18, 2025, at 11:00 AM at St. Joseph Church 322 Manor Ave Downingtown, Pa.
