Jeffrey Tihansky Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 11, 2024.
Jeff passed August 7, 2024, after a short battle with cancer at Nazareth Hospital.

He was born in Pottsville on June 8, 1957, grew up in Schuylkill Haven, spent his summers with his family at Sweet Arrow Lake and made his home in Trevose, PA. Jeff was a graduate of Wyoming Seminary and Muhlenberg College with a degree in Economics and Finance, but he was an entrepreneur at heart. He established and operated Ad Infinitem Inc., an advertising specialties agency, for 35 years under the biblical tagline: all men are friends to one who gives gifts. Jeff loved the Lord, studied His Word daily and loved to share his faith. He attended men's prayer breakfast and also enjoyed poker night with the neighborhood men. He had a great sense of humor and could see humor in almost any situation spinning stories that were riveting and so many times hilarious. He always said what was on his mind. He will be missed and remembered fondly with a head shake and a smile by all who knew him.

Jeff is survived by his son, David Tihansky (m. Alexis Rayner-Tihansky) and daughter Emma Wolf nee Tihansky (m. Shane Wolf). They were the light of his life and he was so proud of them. He was the youngest of 5 siblings survived by sisters: Claudia Cauley nee Tihansky of Michigan and Tanya Gockley nee Tihansky (m. Gilbert Gockley) of New York. He was pre-deceased by his sister Alexandra Tihansky and brother Theodore Tihansky. He was so proud of his nieces and nephews Christopher Gockley, Coleman Gockley, Jared Gockley, Erin Marshall nee Cauley, Owen Cauley and Jennifer Krawczyk nee Tihansky.

Your thoughts and prayers for him and his family are greatly appreciated.

Jeff always had a calm, friendly demeanor. His smile and handshake were a blessing! May he rest in God's eternal peace. God bless his family.

I just discovered that Jeffrey had passed. I was so fortunate to have known him and his sister Alexandria way back when they were invoved in the air freight industry, I with a large company and they with a well focused, smaller concern. Often I would join them to assist them in their work to help expedite functions or to explain the intricacies of specialized shipping. Both were so pleasant, kind, and thoughtful. God Bless. May they both rest in peace.

Uncle Jeff loved me unconditionally throughout the years. He was always good about sending his love on my birthday and during the holidays. One of my favorite sayings of Jeff is "a thousand sorries won’t replace an eye." I´ll continue sharing with you Uncle Jeff through prayer. By the way, the Phillies continue to lead the Mets by seven games.
