Jeffrey Paul Crisman, 55, formerly of Texas, passed away peacefully surrounded by family at Hilltop Estates in Gothenburg, NE.
Jeff was born in Cozad Ne to Kenneth and Kimberly (Goodwin) Crisman on June 14, 1969.
Jeff lived in Pocatello, ID; Denver, CO; and last in Dallas, TX. He worked in the accounting field until his illness prevented him from working. Jeff was an avid reader with the ability to remember what he read with great recall. He enjoyed biking and travel, the mountains being his choice of locations, but time spent with his 4 legged bestie Tucker topped them all. Jeff stated having a dog taught him what unconditional love was.
He will be remembered for his collection of music and movie memorabilia, KISS being his all time top of the list having followed them from his teens. He attended every concert he could, enjoying every one.
Jeff is survived by his parents, Kenneth and Kim, brother Josh (Ladonna) Gretna NE; nieces Devyn (Samuel) Hayes, Bellevue NE; Reagyn Crisman, Kearny, NE; Aunt Thaine (Jr.) Freeze, cousins Aubrey (Mac) Dancer and sons, Jakeh (Jake) White and children, Lane(Peggy) Goodwin, San Diego, CA; Aunt Linda Crisman, cousins, Rex Crisman and Tammy Bonifas all of Gothenburg, his best ever friend and cousin Sherri Crisman Bice, Blair NE; with whom he shared a deep bond.
Jeff was preceded in death by grandparents Gerald and Waunetta Crisman, Claren and Betty Goodwin, brother Jory Lee and Uncle Ronald Crisman and Uncle CE Goodwin.
Memorial Services will be on Saturday, June 7th, at 10:00AM at First Baptist Church, 1103 Ave C, Gothenburg NE with Pastor Dan Urman officiating.
