He worked as an accompanist for local school districts and churches in the area. His role as choir and music director for North Oak Christian Church for over 15 years was a ministry to many. Recently Jeff was the accompanist for The Salem Lutheran Church in Overland Park, where he found purpose and a loving family. Throughout his life his laughter, love for all people and tender heart touched countless lives. His passion for playing the piano brought purpose, joy and fulfillment to him and others. Jeff's belief in Jesus Christ was the anchor during his journey here on earth. Jeff's love for nature started at a young age. He enjoyed family vacations, fishing, waterfalls and the Oregon coast. He had a special connection with his favorite pets Keyla, Shadow and Camillia. He longed to own a therapy dog. Jeff enjoyed attending music concerts, plays and theater productions. His favorite basketball team was the University of Kansas Jayhawks, who he fervently cheered for year after year.

Jeff was preceded in death by his grandfather and grandmother, Herbert and Luella Hawley and his grandfather, Robert L. Nunn.

He is survived by his son Alex. Also living are his parents, Ralph and Susan, his brother, Chris, his grandmother, Wilma Nunn, his ex-wife, Rebecca and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
