Jeffery Foss Obituary

Published by Legacy on Oct. 6, 2025.
Jeffery Lynn Foss passed away peacefully in his sleep the morning of October 2, 2025. He was 72 years old. Jeff was born on July 26, 1953, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Jeff was a husband, father, grandpa, brother-in-law and friend, hard-working, who always went above and beyond for anybody. He would literally give the shirt off his back especially for family. Jeff loved wood working, spending time in the shop, grilling, barbecuing and fixing small engine to renovating things in the home. You can guarantee you will find him out in front of his garage, tinkering or taking a break sitting out front having his Busch beer. He was a man of God, who loved and served Him, contributing to fellowship, volunteering for his church and community. His love for gardening was something he and his wife enjoyed doing together, as well as their passion for God, to do His will, showed through their love and devotion, reuniting them in Heaven. Jeff was predeceased by his wife Barbara Ellois, his son Bradley Elliot, his parents Geraldine Ruth and Oliver Alton Foss, his brothers, Richard Earl and David Alton Foss. He is survived by his children, Julie Foss, Gayle & Jason Harkrader, and granddaughter Chloe Foss. Visitation and service will be held on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at Living Christ's Mission Church, 1200 69th Avenue North, Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55430 at 11:00. Reception to follow.
